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.
好一个西雅图不眠夜。房屋空间的运镜，氛围营造确实非常的温子仁，潜伏、招魂的技法已经相当成熟。比较新颖的故事尝试但也未跳脱普遍亲情的框架。当然宣扬亲情难免些许老套但总是好的。
HMAX 1080p，《招魂》恐影+《电锯惊魂》悬疑血腥，又和《海王》一样加进去一些很酷的元素比如倒走人、房间变换和铅黄cool music，打光像达里奥阿基多，温导镜头还是真厉害。但是风格和元素多样，观感上稍有割裂感。只有看到后面才知道为啥这片能在大陆上线（而《招魂》不能）的原因。btw正片片长内地版1.41.35 国际版1.47.25
<肿瘤侠>是谁添加的译名，笑死！我的观影疑惑也是在法律层面，这么多人得算是谁杀的？
这很不温子仁 粗糙感如b级片质感的美恐 大内密探零零发恐成为最大剧透
除了寄生胎战斗力不科学之外，其它都挺好的，布景和惊悚氛围一流，就是打斗场景过多略显无聊
這不就是《白髮魔女傳》裡面的姬無雙嘛。而且為什麼不找當年強姦自己母親的人報仇，卻殺一堆無辜的人呢
夭寿啦 温子仁不拍鬼片啦 差点忘了温导是拍saw发家的……双面人的设定其实蛮多的但是动起来真的很！帅！啊！不过有一说一但凡女主被家暴以后去拍个脑核磁也不至于这样……
Annabelle宇宙的老熟人Annabelle和招魂宇宙的女儿McKenna，猜到又没完全猜到，从鬼片到惊悚片再到砍杀片，各种恐怖片元素融合，有新意但又全是老梗的感觉，温情大团圆嘴炮找回人性的结局也是料想之中，本来以为全部能死光光那倒也是不走寻常路，这个结局只能算不功不过吧。
这难道不是温子仁以B级片为外核讲了一个《走近科学》的故事吗？！开局对宅子空间上的运用几乎与《招魂》如出一辙，路灯下以及后来逃回房间时俯瞰镜头甚至更胜一筹。对于影子，以及诸如医生遇害前红调雨帘、绿调探头的红绿调打光在场景切换中的运用完美。虽然有一段ps4游戏镜头感极强、但特效跟不上的打闹警局过于拉胯，但寄生双胞胎勾起儿时租VCD租到《篮子里的恶魔》的童年阴影非常加分！
天才之作，个人认为优于《招魂》和《电锯惊魂》。后悔没有提前点映的时候去看。
温子仁是不是好久没有自己导演恐怖片了 这片子跟那些粗制滥造的Saw续集比起来 也差不多了呀
运镜、场景、恐怖和悬疑感缔造……世界顶级。我说温子仁是人类恐怖电影史瑰宝，有人同意吗？
温子仁导演的恐怖片我一直都不敢看 ，这部不恐怖，更多是血腥，创造出一位复仇怪物，脸上满是大脑背面组成的血肉肿瘤，影片的动作戏很酷，依靠背面行走的怪物拿着奖杯做成的刀刃杀敌，动作场面的运镜也很喜欢。
加百列从艾米丽后脑勺长出来的那一刻，血压直接飙升了。。。
前半段氛围还不错，出人意料，但后半部分就沦为动作片了，温子仁是拍海王上瘾了
<肿瘤侠>是谁添加的译名，笑死！我的观影疑惑也是在法律层面，这么多人得算是谁杀的？
这种片子，不用太在意逻辑细节之类的，结尾爽一下完事儿。
这部电影如果是在电影院看估计会给7分，不得不说这部电影挺下饭的，电影讲述的其实是Madison对血缘联结的姐妹故事，前半段我一直以为是Madison在作死，后半段才发现原来事情是这样。
西雅图地下旧城。
灵异附身、鸠占鹊巢的故事，没想到还真能看到“打开脑洞看世界”，不过故事比较单薄，在温子仁的导演生涯只能算中等。
