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.
韩版【黑天鹅】 千禹熙曾经以为能冲一下大花 现在感觉还是差一些 不过现在的环境下能有女主戏也不错
基本上看到开头就能感受到案件里的母女关系和主播本身受到控制的母女关系之间的互文，再加上《黑天鹅》式的职场内卷心魔，类似的电影已经有很多，连悬念的制造都显得模板化。虽然为千禹熙和李慧英都提供了大展类型片演技的机会，但类型片终究是类型片，机能上要求再高，精神分裂写得天花乱坠，也不是真正在写精神世界上富足的人。
更多不是在讲人格分裂，是在控诉对女性的压迫吧，生娃了就什么都不是了。
一个像李荣浩，一个像潘玮柏。
男二比男主帅，十五年后的男主比十五年前的男主帅。。。男主原来是唱歌的Eric？！
发型的关系，千禹熙和李慧英太像了。原本以为申河均又将是反派，出乎意料并不是这样。故事走向和《黑天鹅》很像。拍的够惊悚，听到音乐不妙，就不敢再盯着屏幕看。为李慧英打call，超有味道。生肉可真不好啃啊…
前期悬疑惊悚和梦境现实的切换，氛围营造得很好，在诡异里透露出一种合理。心理医生的诡异感把剧情一点点推向高潮。但我有些遗憾女主做了两次目击者才开始黑化，首次出场的命案她居然真的一点都没参与？千禹熙不是演技不行，但确实不适合主播的形象。
台偶是永远的青春啊！没有人演青春校园剧能演得比台偶更自然😭
片子悬疑倒是谈不上，因为开始就在用镜头告诉你是怎么回事了，比如妈妈基本就不出现在第三视角的镜头里。但是紧张感还是拉满的，虽然会觉得有点不正常，谁会选择深夜只身前往可能发生凶案的现场去呢？虽然精神病解释一切一直都不是最好的选择，但拍的好还是可以弥补的。此外，韩国的主播还是真有追求，完全要参与节目的采访和制作，我们都是照着稿念新闻可以念一辈子的。
本是陪看，结果学龄大孩子只看1/3便弃之溜走，老阿姨却津津有味守着小情侣小情小调小恨小爱到结尾！呵呵
千姐演技大赏。
开头看到爸爸跟妈妈吵架说要出去追求自己的梦想的时候整个人就已经看不下去了，强撑着看完全片，完全进入不了，no offense但是真的觉得在看（帅版的）小沈阳和（瘦脸版的）辣目洋子谈恋爱，年纪大了，吃不下这种工业糖精了。
算是比較常規化的韓國驚悚片，前半段故意迷惑觀眾但常看此類電影的應該從申河均的心理醫生出現就知道後續發展了，不過這算女主戲吧，申河均就是個工具配角
雖然一開始就猜到故事情節，但後面劇情還是滿不錯~
进度过了三分之二摊牌了，那种所谓“柯南就是凶手”的套路。。。
就那样，看着想睡觉。没感觉多出彩，多重人格的主播罢了。故弄玄虚
和预期有落差，可以做到更好，但看完还是不得不说终章的剧情是真的很棒；
故弄玄虚，浪费时间，看三五分钟就能知道结局
这部电影对我来说可能不是那么好，因为刚开始看着还行，这后面怎么演的越来越不在我的想象之中呢。
悬疑惊悚只是显性，其后深意才真令人窒息。东亚家庭关系里的压迫和纠缠，以及背后源自社会文化的环境压力与阴翳，没有人是疯子，她们只是被碾碎的瓷片。
