Constantly on the hunt and suffering from hallucinations that drive his violent nature, an unnamed man is capturing women and savagely beating them to death. Meanwhile, a woman is luring men into a violent end, by way of her knife. Driven by the same force to make the opposite sex suffer, the killers’ fates intertwine. The two must face off in a battle to the death, in which they are forced to reveal the horrible truth behind their addiction to murder.
“Brutal” takes an interesting approach to its visuals, drawing heavy influence from Western “Grindhouse” films, using a filter to make the footage appear grainy, damaged, and with light and color fluctuations. Unfortunately, the visual styling ends up feeling misguided, as other than applying the filter it does not imitate any other aspects of the “Grindhouse” genre. Despite trying to dirty up the film, it is apparent it was shot on digital. The cinematography is also a step above most “Grindhouse” productions, with Takashi Hirose proving he has talent behind the camera. Exterior shots to those taking place in small spaces are all competently framed, lit, and transition well. The decision to add an effect on top of the work hurts the film’s imagery and even gives a sense of desperation to try to capture a certain type of nostalgia with the audience, instead of relying on its own strengths. It is unfortunate when one creative choice can hurt a production so much.
The story of “Brutal” is simple but effective, it does attempt some sort of social commentary about the violent nature of men and women, but it does not offer enough depth into the subject to justify the amount of violence on display. The film does end on a strong note with an interesting twist, with a reveal that is bound to gross some out, while giving others a chuckle. In spite of its simple nature, those who enjoy films that make them somewhat uncomfortable and enjoy the challenge of getting through some ultra-violence, “Brutal” poses a fun and entertaining challenge in that regard.
很奇怪，确实很烂，但是又有一种让人忍不住看完的“魅力”。或许缩减到100分钟以内比较合适，现在抻太长了，很多地方衔接的其实挺生硬的，就只能各种尬舞尬演。
摄影被烂剧本来回拖累…导致一切都显得笨拙愚蠢
感觉就是为了恐怖而恐怖 但是那些镜头确实真的有够恐怖 恐怖片里我还比较喜欢鹿这个意象
女主放着受重伤弟弟不管非要去找怪物单挑 竟然还把怪物杀了 这就……
没有预算的特效，没有逻辑的剧情，没有脑子的主角。导演你是有多穷啊，找个美国的农村地级市，和几个老农民就拍了。怪物累积出场时间3分钟不到。没预算就拍点乡村爱情吧。恐怖片不适合你
父权家暴，女性反抗，男性隐忍最终又继承父权，以此轮回，生生不息
预告片比正片好看，悬疑气氛不足，借用神话也没有啥特别的发挥，最后，挺小打小闹的！
作为恐怖片，视听氛围的营造平平无奇，手段重复，叙事效率也是有点低，结尾高潮戏草率。不过怪物造型还是挺拉风
有些一般了，恐怖氛围也一般，不过怪物造型还不错
想起大话西游里唐僧那句台词。我写一句类似的，「之前是杀了那个弟弟救了哥哥，现在要杀这个弟弟了……」
以北美地区民间传说里的鹿角食人魔“温迪戈”为主角的恐怖电影，开篇以阴沉抑郁的格调娓娓道来，孤僻小孩和他的老师痛苦且不堪回首的童年阴影成为了故事的暗线，然而这一设定到后面却并没有被过分提及，这也是本片一个败笔。除了怪物的设计还中规中矩以外，作为恐怖片真没什么亮点。
有点无聊了 就几个镜头jump scare还可以
电影的怪物很有趣，但是影片内涵不足，似乎讨论了儿童虐待问题，但是点到为止，没有展开，而且怪物的出现也与虐待没有什么本质联系。
还行吧，但也不是很值得一看。小孩演的不错。没头没尾地用了indigenous people 的故事，整个电影就是个大写的没头没尾。
很久没有看过这么无聊的恐怖片了，当时看预告非常期待，以为是克苏鲁复兴之作，没想到呵呵
小男孩演得不错；怪物设计不错，披着人脸兼职太酷了，就是跟血源白羊女有点类似，建议加入魂套餐，话说没毛怎么还弱火；感觉醉翁之意不在酒
[视][19.10.24想看]导演<黑色弥撒><逃出熔炉>，小男孩像<神童>2019，陀螺监制，怪兽部分一直不错，微血。两个破碎的家庭，西方对父辈的执着，有点烂尾。今年还有奈飞剧版<鹿角男孩>
一般般，怪兽最后才看到一下，战斗不强，看的不过瘾
质感很厉害，可惜故事实在太差，改原著改的太没水平
243。听完整的呀，氛围感做得比较北欧，弱光摄影，景拍得也不错。就是剧本本身实在太浅了，想用补充女主身世的方法扩展内容量，但这与主故事融合得很糟糕。结尾还是轮回感吧，这片拍不了续集。
