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.
很一般的人质挟持枪战电影。片中警不像警，匪不像匪，人质，，也不像人质。。
The cost of freedom is everything.
女主的造型加上大提琴绝了，不是美不美的问题，而是不会重复。
鼓手比吉他手/主唱先找到女友，这是多么不科学的一件事。
再想一想，活结二代都出道了，摇滚乐什么时候能再登主流舞台！
男孩们都长得好好看啊，冲着颜值可以一看，美国的高中生活真是，作业太少，所以想干嘛干嘛，就是这个爱好好费钱。
一直铺垫到最后的battle of the bands，精彩爆棚。比起我们的“都选C”可好到不知道哪里去了。
重金属的电影隔几年总能看到一部新作，就像时不时会在昏沉的工作间隙，听上一首激昂的嘶吼，振奋精神。唯一的遗憾，就是青春期的那种不安与躁动没有了。青春真好，音乐真好，专注与收获真好
特别及格的一部简单清新的青少年片，没什么毛病。
历史事件改编的电影，运镜真的很重要，这部看着就觉得像电影
摇滚夏令营，歌舞青春等青春&音乐的电影，其内容和话题也不仅仅局限于富家金发白人女二，棕发贫穷女一，帅气队长男一（二女争一男）的公式剧情中
挺燃的 这才是自由的解释 ak突突突 人质都斯德哥尔摩综合症！we fight for freedom
很傻很中二但也挺可爱的，可以给到3.5！大提琴当然可以金属，快去听听启示录！另外比较难得的是那个homecoming king居然不是个douchebag
对音乐类的尤其偏爱 重金属也爱 凯文那张脸扮作女生也绝对美美的 艾米莉手很漂亮 拉大提琴搭重金属节奏也太有感觉了 其他倒也不必计较太多 看片得开心就足710
看过最好看的电影，没有之一！！结尾看到Angela我真的快泪崩了😭
校园戏无趣。女主有点像年轻时候的海伦娜，朋克黑暗暴躁公主。亨特好中二哈哈哈哈，金属至死的雄心燃烧起来吧......
男孩们都长得好好看啊，冲着颜值可以一看，美国的高中生活真是，作业太少，所以想干嘛干嘛，就是这个爱好好费钱。
故事俗套，男二基本就是照着奶哥弄得，男主毫无个人性格，女主还可以，停车场那段非常可爱，最后演出那段还可以。
不着调的校园青春喜剧置入一个重金属音乐主题，哪里都不太妙却足够让人喜欢，热爱他们所热爱的，还要求什么呢
看完《摇滚校园》，再看这个，内核大同小异，没啥感觉，男主真他妈的作！反抗就跟小孩过家家一样，喊喊口号，语不惊人死不休！不过我们连他们一半的勇气都没有！
