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.
我还以为最后Tiffany就算不进监狱也会身败名裂，结果竟然是冰释前嫌。这伏笔还不如不埋。
Too idealistic, must be propaganda！但是看得很开心，笑点很足
几十年如一日的你最闪亮校园喜剧电影，连海报水平也停留在二十年前，可以说毫无叙事水准也经不起逻辑推敲，但不得不说看到最后有那么一点点想哭 somehow i really miss the silly cute teenage life, i'm like this old already (joshua colley长得好像我date过的一个男生，一下子午夜梦回了🚬
好无聊，女主是摔坏了🧠吧
贺岁片，看哭了。结尾是拍摄花絮之大型群舞，还有彩蛋，要是和好朋友一起在影院看，将是很开心的体验吧。美国还是正能量啊。
so funny so lovely so sweet so ironic
穿露脐装渔网袜的美艳小gay太诱人了，或者是4爱修勾？
总体还是很欢快的。重回高中争夺皇后的老套情节，主要看搞笑和各种开放段子吧，其实挺感慨美丽国的教育方式的，确实个体的开放和自由才能激发人的发散和创造思维，这才是我们值得学习的地方。
简单，放松，美式向上——适合居家期间放松观看。BTW，20年前的那些teen pop一响起，也是爷青回了。
就是那种充满烂gag没有脑子有点尴尬但又有点可爱的电影
两星半，这么个优秀的能展开讲文化变革的设定居然就给拍成俗套的青春校园片了，太浪费了…但客串啊啊啊居然是Alicia Silverstone！！
渴望爱，忽略爱，以一个奇幻的方式来讲述无可厚非；但是故事与我无关，因为局限在自我表达的情感之中了。
Are you from Syria?
近年来不错的喜剧了，rebel演技撑起了整部电影，跳舞的时候会幻视成adele跳Britney。rebel瘦了之后又有气质又逗比，让电影一点都不尬了。（彩蛋是在暗示还有续集上大学么？）
毕业以后做过好多次梦回到学生时代，但每次都是更差的结果，并没有给自己翻转
人设还是蛮新奇的 而且都挺讨喜的
Fat Amy瘦到前面差点以为是CG 😂 就说网飞怎么可能全片搞特效！？想不到真人瘦身成功了 除了好多正zzq外 再次温馨提醒大家 珍惜自己当下拥有 爱你的人一直在身边 💓 长大吧
还是很好笑的，小镇上的同学们长大了还是在小镇，
还行, 能看, 不过原作有学姐线吗, 有点忘了 // 冲着ZTMY的ED来的, 结果发现看过原作 (
3.女主 silm了但依然很 fat
