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.
童话一般美丽的场景和角色，惊悚的片段，越看越有味道
哇 好北欧的horror。小女孩太能演了吧。
很怪诞的一部恐怖片，其实并不吓人，个人还挺喜欢
初见，美轮美奂的画面，我还没有细看下去，就迫不及待进入豆瓣，发现打分太低，不应该啊，我就打个5星吧。
圆梦童年~皮皮鲁和鲁西西是八零后，所以电影呈现的是九十年代的风格，大白兔奶糖，红绿水壶，圆罐头，焦虑的妈妈们，我已经不记得从前看的鲁西西和罐头小人的故事是怎样的了，但是无论故事怎样我都很激动，身边都是爸爸妈妈带着孩子来看电影，也许和我一样，更多的是为了圆自己小时候的梦吧！最高光时刻就是最后的彩蛋了，路人郑渊洁大叔~希望更多的郑渊洁宇宙能搬上荧幕！
感觉没演完，真正恐怖的不应该是怪鸟真正变成女儿以后的事情么？
这个小女孩瘦骨嶙峋的样子莫名让我想到钛（。。一般

构图、美术很干净，透露出一种简洁的美感。
题材上跟 瞬息全宇宙 对位的同期档。3.5
#窒息家庭芬兰edition 但还是想说芬兰语有时候太像泰语了
电影，先说缺点，
作为童年童话的一种重新认识与解读，我个人还是有一些期待的。虽然最后作品呈现出来的效果有一点勉强，整体感觉还是手法和方式不专业，但是能在屏幕上重新看到郑渊洁童话以这样的方式出现，还是有些许的激动的，希望能看到更加成熟的作品吧。
妈妈脑残 儿子妈宝 爸爸窝囊 女儿有病 一家子凑齐了
把人工智能换成蛋…剧情基本一样。孵出的是啥？鸟人？鸟变人？
明示的精神分裂，虽然老梗却拍的非常棒。用鸟人来隐喻父母的压迫对于孩子身心的影响，以至于异化成了另一个个体。家庭的压抑感是最可怕的，因为你无处可逃。
其实 就是一部带点恐怖意义的家庭教育片，无非就是象征着教育失败的血和泪水会在小孩心中孵化出另一个孩子，然而母亲的生活实在是，出差就是与另一位性格的男友 啊啊啊啊啊，还带女儿过去？我一度怀疑是母女片场了。唉
20220520 周五 16:44 哪个才是我？暗黑那个？被俘虏的那个？杀死我的那个！通通都是我，自己造的因自己承受恶果。家庭表面和谐的假象存在着多少秘密，竟可以共存就是畸形的关系，哪个也不正常，正常就不是一个真正的家庭啦！
北欧盛产荒诞暗黑电影， 小女孩颜值和演技在线。奇幻恐怖寓言，最终鸠占鹊巢，题材挺新颖的～
3.5/母亲节前后放映很应景；生命就是一种母婴遗传病，治好了就是《turning red》，治不好就是这部片子或者《黑天鹅》（不是……影片中的符号都比较好理解，男性也一如既往地充当着或怯懦或随和的背景板；可能对于已经变得cynical的观众来说，这类主题和表现方式已经很难造成什么感官之外的触动了……
