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.
戳爷这里出的两首歌太好听了，为歌而来。电影就无功无过了，当个小清新糖水还算行，戳爷的颜值我是get不到，但印度小哥长得蛮可以，最后原因竟然是选择学业笑死，亚洲文化正面直刚美国热浪青少年。
7，中规中矩，角色矛盾冲突都为了推动剧情，然后主角成长，hiv也只像是一个助推器，讨论的深度与内容也浅尝辄止。
家人和朋友的支持，能让最困难的危机化险为夷。画面色彩好美，音乐也好听。
戳爷+小清新画面和剧情，就算平平无奇也值得一看。
不太推荐
同志的青春期成长的故事真是拍到找不到一点新意了，谁来演都一样。
纯粹为了看troye。如果拍成20分钟的短片其实会更好……
戳戳美如画啊！
不太推荐
戳爷好好看。但是剧情真的好无聊。和印度裔小哥完全没有cp感。
戳爷一如既往可 反套路又套路的 很典型的美式青春同性电影
1500。知道了生活的残酷真相就成长了。一开始就觉得两个受是不可能在一起，果然。
戳子加上马卡龙的色调真的好清新 剧情和bgm没有像他的名字一样戳到我
色调很美，也是夏日限定的恋爱就是了。
双人自行车，空旷游乐园里的旋转木马，海边一夜小朵烟火，失而复得的友情，夏天涟漪一样短暂亦无反转的爱——文艺片的寻常套路，却还是被微微拿捏了一下。大概是因为，青春本身就是一种美。Life moves on. Just keep looking forward.（为戳的倾城美颜激情加一颗星～
可以是一个短片或者mv，要不是戳爷我真的会看睡过去。。。
喜欢电影的色彩 作为粉丝还是觉得戳戳在这部电影里的表现时好时坏
青少年防艾滋宣传片，青少年个人卫生习惯反面教材🙄️
湿漉漉的性感
海边的仙女棒、夜晚的双人自行车、无人游乐场、并不好吃的乳蛋饼、打折冰沙、提前打烊在零工超市开爬梯、翻窗而入朋友的房间。青春的元素，无论怎样都是轻盈活力的，至少从远处来看是的。
