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.
应该改名叫《驱上帝的魔》，驱魔只是一场交易……
剧情温吞的想骂人。21年了还有这种同质化严重的小妞电影真是不敢想象。
新年不就要看这种甜甜的电影么 男主很hot 我很喜欢
男的实在太像变态了 上一秒调情下一秒勒死你的那种
你信仰的是上帝还是恶魔？到底是上帝驱逐恶魔，还是恶魔驱逐上帝？看到最后感觉为第二部埋下伏笔。整体还行，创新大于内容
其实镜头语言的叙事不太理想，没啥出彩点，但背后的驱魔新颖点挺错愕的，最后几分钟让人醍醐灌顶感。所以所谓代表上帝的梵蒂冈究竟是披着羊皮的狼吗？恶魔已经接管人间？所谓驱魔实际就是反向驱魔。不过随便想想，也许这样能解释这世界有时让人错愕的魔幻和邪恶
恶魔就是恶吗，上帝就是善吗。梵蒂冈教会的形象一如既往。
其实挺有意思的，结尾预留了可继续伸展的空间，新的故事也将开启。期待续集。
反正两拨人，谁能把窗户喊碎了，谁就能赢。。。狮吼功是永远的真神。
这剧有点意思，最后那一段感觉在说“恶魔在人间”，而且很有美剧邪恶力量的味道
还不错，恐怖气氛比较到位，只是结局的妥协不够解恨！
很好的演绎了在失去信仰的末法时代，恶魔和人做交易，并披着人皮横行于世，以及真正的信仰不再形式主义、不再逗留殿堂，而是回到人心，回到真爱。很有趣的片子，换了角度把MW描写的这么生动。可能会让不少形而上的“信仰人”，有阅后不适的感觉。
剧情还能更狗血吗，毫无逻辑，反转感觉和顶楼有得一拼，不知道从哪里开始吐槽好。为女主的演技进步加一星（美少女的谎言的时候真的演技出戏），也可能是男主的衬托。
有点意思，上帝与恶魔不同方式的斗争。虽然部分剧情有点蠢
反向驱神，情节特别，所以话一定要有信，不要问只要信
god always lives inside everybody until you reach him
还行吧，看完这电影，真觉得Woody Allen太会拍这类故事。
本片最大的亮点就是恶魔驱逐牧师心中的上帝这个设定，驱逐的过程，给我的感觉就是谁大声谁更有底气，谁就赢了。最后正不胜邪，牧师被附身。但除此之外，其他情节跟别的驱魔片差不多
场面极度邪典，甚至开始反思的正义性～
你离上帝有多近 就离魔鬼有多近
