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.
观赏性很强的院线片。画面、音乐和服装都很美，有着浓重的宿命感和悲剧感。骗中骗的结构，以弱胜强又和《犬之力》不谋而合。男人们自以为掌握了一切，结果还是被女人abandoned, haunted and executed。男主原本是可以成为福尔摩斯那样的人哪！
用一个充满水分的一线男星来炒冷饭，配料再足也不够味儿。视听享受、故事道理和表演张力还是缺一不可啊。。。
终于看到了，感觉我已经免疫了，在凛遥分手的时候我甚至因为双方都相当心疼而露出微笑
tooooooooooo boring……、为什么要翻拍这么老的电影，还翻拍的没有任何新意，这么无趣……
喜欢这一部超过《水型物语》，和原版不同的是，德尔·托罗更想抓住的是某种时代的精神，故事背景也从大萧条刚过不久转移到了二战，影片在某种程度上也是对“光荣一代”的解构，鲁尼·玛拉的角色比起原版有着非常明显的弱化。
看到遥真琴凛宗介等一行人搭着电车，陆续有伙伴下车到站的场景，突然就伤感起来，free这么多部就是主角一行人的成长史，我看大家游了十年，少年会长大，动画的故事也会慢慢走向结尾，大家步入20岁以后会有不同的选择，会在不同的站下车。
问题多多，听说原版更好，但如此负能量的故事，你不能不竖起大拇指
美术无懈可击。不过需要再看两遍卡罗尔+水形物语来治愈剧情的伤。
不用借托美轮美奂的空镜头呈现其摄影之精湛，仅靠镜头推移，即可告诉观众其摄影功底不可小觑。虽不知为何陀螺钟情于这个并不算难得惊艳的故事，但本片融入他自身所擅长的惊悚与奇幻氛围之后，完成度颇高，质感可见一斑。会拍电影的导演，仅用几个简单的镜头就能彻底拉开与平庸导演的距离，陀螺轻易就能做到。
是个男人被自己的薄情和野心拖进Nightmare Alley的故事，情魔就算了吧
火对火 酒对酒 鸡对鸡 geek 对 geek 你的 psychic 成长经历对应 Clairvoyance 等等 。。。我也想说一句：I've had enough 这种一直拍烂片还能得奖 总有人捧着 只能归结为运气好 人好了 materialize people as a seance 也是无能的懦弱的体现了 马丁为什么发文 废话 烂的程度和他拍的那些量产垃圾品一摸一样 只不过稍稍差一点儿 他当然诚心诚意的推荐喽
感觉翻拍得还行；可以理解为什么第一幕在马戏团的场景足足放了1个小时 也许是想要产生马戏团微观社会与美国社会的互文关系；收尾之处选择确实要比老版本好点
且看且珍惜了
不知为何我的初始信息导演是托德海因斯，全程惊掉下巴的我打开条目后终于释然：make sense.
对比前几季，剧情和制作都只能说是平平无奇。但谁让free帅哥多呢。
这是陪伴我最久 伴随了我整个青春的系列🌊有free我的夏天才完整🏊🏻
不过，越发喜欢宗介了~ (?)
还是好看的！别的不说，画风是真的漂亮，伙伴们之间的感情也细腻动人。不过最后哈鲁突然黑化也是我没想到的，什么时候才能看到后篇呀嗷嗷。
魔兔都没什么对手戏，路透照骗得我好惨（是被剪掉了吗？
【YVR-5th】太长太拖沓，尤其是马戏团部分，而且影像风格前后不统一，看得昏昏欲睡，可惜一众好卡司了。
