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.
画面真有录相带时刻的感觉，只是看久了对眼睛不好。不建议多看。
第三个故事算是全系列最佳之一，前三个故事相当不错，最后一个扣分
【B-】整体素质对比前三部下滑明显，除了第三个故事之外其余几个都毫无创造力。要是第三个故事能够独立成片那我会给个四星
《致命录像带94》★★★，依旧是本系列的一贯风格，不过这次稍显创新，让每个小故事间有了串联。
血腥 肢解 朋克 重口 吸血鬼。喔嚯，这脑洞怕是已经看不见地球了。
血腥也够惊悚也有，再稍稍加点黑色幽默就已经及格了
现在经过一些公众号短视频的引流，越来越多没有此类影片观影经历，又不做相关影片功课了解其类型风格，总会凭个人喜好恶评。所以建议各位打低分前好好先仔细了解一下相关影片信息和类型历史。回到本次第四部融合了邪教献祭、都市怪谈、死尸还魂、人体改造以及带政治讽刺主题的吸血鬼主题，所有共同点都是舍得洒血浆。私心印尼导演的作品源自于他本人历代动作及恐怖片已经形成鲜明的个人风格（美版釜山行已确定由其导演），殡仪馆剧情氛围渲染的不错可惜篇幅有限。总的来说还是希望此类作品继续延续下去，这是属于我们这群影迷的狂欢。
回到录像厅cult片时代，单纯的本本cult
很特殊的一部电影，没有英文字幕，没法看了。感觉没必要故意把画面弄这么糟糕，毕竟主流手机都可以轻松4k拍摄，更不会搞什么隔行扫描了。
挺不错的，尤其是第三部人机杂交这个最有创意。当然整体格调不高，但这种电影就是用来撸的，爽就行了。
太无聊了吧，每个故事都太老套了，感觉像是上世纪的恐怖小说改编过来的，唯一的优点是这部新增的复古元素
稀烂的几个故事，没一个出彩的，也没有伪纪录片应有的真实感
有很多电影的影子，《异形》、《第九区》、《弗兰肯斯坦》、《硬核亨利》，《机器人总动员》。总之整体思路基本还是弗兰肯斯坦风格
还原94的复古感上第一个故事最到位，喜欢女主持最后笑着赞颂邪神及随后搅拌机广告传达的恶趣味；提莫的作品依旧是最生猛的那个，但是画面过于高清放在94题材有点不适应，枪火特效一出来把我乐坏了（CS1.6做得都比你真；第二个守灵闹鬼的故事是平庸的命题作文；第四个烂得令人发指，可看程度大概还不如克林顿在椭圆形办公室留下的那团污渍。
前几部都忘光光，整体一般般，只有故事三的设定还算不错~6.0
四个故事恶趣味一脉相承，录像带元概念优秀但不出彩，而且有简化故事结构的嫌疑。故意做旧的粗糙感太过，镜头切换很无厘头。看后兄弟们一致认为3>2>1>4，我个人的顺序是1>2>4>3，有时候越是basic的恐怖故事越令人印象深刻。
@PIFFF Paris Fantastic Film Festival 鼠人恶趣味十分受用+吸血鬼复仇极端右翼白人kitsch以及brut风格都在兴奋点上
艹，玩儿的太开了，小时候玩过的鬼屋游戏和重口黏土动画竟然能拍成真人版，百无禁忌的残酷想象力，一边看一边心里惊叹“WHF?!”好久没看过这么胡逼的片子了。
变态科学家的故事很nice，鼠人、守夜…太都市鬼故事了。
看之前伪纪录真得厌倦 过程中天呐这太……和我想得不一样 看之后好喜欢即刻看完本系列其他 storm drain 女记者站下水道口那段氛围太棒 the empty wake 有猴爪遗风 the subject 人机合体纯血腥 terror 吸血鬼反杀是凑时长 今年快结束只有两部不错 这部和怪奇宅 灵媒本可以不错
