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.
反转很多，节奏快不拖沓，是一部合格的爆米花电影，当然其中也有很多令人怀疑角色智商的操作，让人想用“要是我是XXX，我肯定（不）会XXX……”造句。
无厘头电影，确实有笑到，认真你就输了，但是开头确实有点让人无语，这也没啥手段呐，不纠结这种东西去观赏还算合格的喜剧片，三星半。
女主亚裔演得也很好，可惜剧本的反转基本都在预料之内，结尾甚至有点离谱...毒品镇痛+提高战力的水平这么强？？
暴风雪休息站困兽斗，好不容易逃离囚笼又掉入了魔窟
6.5到7分的片，小成本做成这样很不错了。
完成度很高，就是剧情局限性，反复就几个场景！
有一句经典台词叫“该开枪就开枪，别废话”
小成本逃脱片，BUG不少，暴力血腥还好，大段乌漆嘛黑的画面，看不清个啥，最大看点是亚裔女主刘的斗智斗勇，结尾翻盘完胜。5.6
女主和警察都智商让人捉急，不符合常理，拖了整体后腿！不过首尾呼应地结局倒是挺有感觉，四星合适😄
好看，虽然没啥惊喜，但很爽。女主不错，sandy演员是冬天的骨头里面的女boss，一整个适合大雪纷飞啊（不是
还行，剧本就挺扎实的，严谨，但就是觉得没有那么出彩。
观感很痛，有小说托底，剧情还算不错。又想起人贩子，太该死。
还行，有一说一反派挺帅的。那个钉子钉进手腕里……好酸爽，只能感叹女主血好厚啊，被打摔下滑坡撞到树还被喷防狼喷雾（大概）然后被钉枪钉手腕然后撕扯再后来还出车祸最后还被警察打了一枪，真血牛了属于是。
最像反派的黑哥居然是唯一的好人 可惜挂得早
小成本制作能拍成这样还可以了，女主越看越美
正经的暴风雪山庄，虽然不是推理，但与世隔绝孤立无援的处境依然放大了绝望感。女主是有着蓝绿眼睛的亚裔演员，演技不错，还有李彤巩俐刘玉玲混合的感觉，不错。
暴雪天气，高速封路，五个人受困于一个没有手机信号也无职员的游客中心，其中就有绑架小孩的罪犯。典型的密室罪案，熟悉的场景设置。虽是小成本制作，但故事讲述得还不错，悬念的设置尚可，情节也是一波三折，还不时有反转。女主角是华裔，一个毒虫却脑子够用，几乎独力死里逃生。她的表演还可以。
女主算是智商在线，小空间的恐怖片，不功不过。有些段落还挺血腥的
3.8/5整体蛮不错的，剧作，摄影，调度，剪辑，视听语言都用了心思，值得推荐。反派死于话多这个部分略老套了，有点可惜。
Bullshit？Bullshit! 困在暴雪里的反击，不留活口，补枪。绑架女孩，送到更好的家庭？？钉在墙上，又生生挣脱出来。
