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.
技术炉火纯青，可惜和时代没啥关系，但很适合阖家欢乐
布赖恩·哈尔挺还原亚当·桑德勒的声音的，这才发现有傻脸娜
意想不到的还不错，感觉比狂野大陆好多了，好吧年年陪孩子看电影
今年影院看的第二部电影，都是动画片，都成奶爸了
2022.4.3 耀莱影城 过于直给了，开头音乐不错，结局那个画风不喜欢，故事一般吧。果然还是爱和理解是一切……喜欢两位女性角色多一点。
The sun— it's magnificent. I cannot believe that my whole life I have missed this elegant splendor. It's glorious. It's wondrous. It's…it's … it's burning my eyes.——三番四抖，世界通用。
人物剧情都很流畅，剧情是个什么鬼？！
being a human is the worst
《阅后即忘+不记得前面几部到底讲了啥但也不重要反正不影响系列》。
文青们都低估熊出没大电影，明明是真正的春节档最强，分数不太行也就是小朋友们都不来打分
美版RPG通关游戏吧，差不多了，如果第五部应该是不会看了。
好点题，好闹腾。如果这就是大结局的话希望不要再出续集了。
坑老丈人的女婿哈哈。唯一遗憾是德古拉配音换了。
在我心目中只有第一部和第三部比较好看。这一部实属有些滑水～
娃们反正挺满意的，最后是两位女士拯救了世界而不是英雄救美的cliche，所以我也基本满意
真的不错！！！怀疑特效制作是参加大项目被顶替了，这里报复性发挥哈哈哈
特别是最后众人为梅菲斯挡住光线，让其到达最高点射击约翰尼的一段剧情，无论是光线的应用还是笑点的设置，都恰到好处，让人惊喜。
但是开花板也在那了，

女反派很有魅力，可以挖得再深一点，特效在国产动画也是顶尖的吧。
