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.
河那那条线的剧情最棒 单独拍成一部电影会不会比这部还火呢
不像一般的贺岁片这么吵，节奏这么快，一开始看有点不耐烦，到最后还是很温暖。
色彩缤纷，整体暖色系，是我喜欢的感觉。男男女女的话题，拯救了我这只单身狗的失业无聊时间。不妨一看。
与其说相信灵魂伴侣，不如说修行到一定境界，可以百搭了
很像酒店宣传片，但合家欢是我永远的爱。
从题材到卡司都很喜欢，但是2小时的叙事好像什么都没说… 喜欢李慧英的线
与其说相信灵魂伴侣，不如说修行到一定境界，可以百搭了
合家欢有啥不好 不带脑子看的挺开心的 韩国版真爱至上哈哈哈哈
这算是翻牌真爱至上么 看在这么多熟面孔的份上
Happy 2022！ wish you all the best！
演员阵容其实真的不错 可惜了剧情 但整体看着也蛮开心～
说他是韩国版的《真爱至上》一点也不过分，多线性多组cp的形式，一样的套路只是换了一批韩国明星，还是一样看的津津有味，还有好多眼熟的面孔，看看帅哥美女谈恋爱还是很快乐的
但是乱配我真的接受不了，即使是概念
姜河那&允儿 金英光&韩智玟&李阵郁 的故事线好看/节日电影就是要HE！
节日氛围感电影。李栋旭的角色也太帅太好了吧！虽然更想看他和韩志敏组CP啊…
开年头一部电影，是这样的喜乐会，虽是絮叨老套，可，人世间的美好不正如此么…🥃
but这哥稍微管理一下吧脸越来越宽了😭 徐康俊依旧帅的！
没有传统的完美大结局，就跟我们的生活一样，总是抱有遗憾，才会倍感珍惜吧。
故事实在是太俗套啦，但跨年合家欢的氛围下看这样一部有情人终成眷属的欢乐故事也很好呀！
其实3.5星更适合这部片子 喜欢温馨氛围的人当然会很喜欢 实在是很适合过年看 再见2021 新年快乐
