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.
虽然想冲屏幕里喊“你们作死啊！是真的作死啊！”但是台湾拍民俗恐怖片，要的就是这种邪邪的劲，不是内地国产的精神病、抑郁症，是有真鬼的！看很多短评说晦气、恶心观众、反弹的……你们是造了多少孽，看个电影也这么怕？说玩不起其实是心里有鬼吧
人还是要有敬畏之心，几个人擅闯禁地还到处搞破坏，人家在拜拜你在刻🐔，人家虔诚搞仪式你几位一脚踹烂门进去还不懂装懂东摸西摸，连神像的盖脸布都要掀开看看，不招邪回来你当人家鬼吃素的！后面也是，口口声声说爱女儿，结果还不是不听劝告给女儿吃东西，害了驱魔师也害了女儿和自己。
雖非新奇的形式，但氣氛超讚、美術一流，所有鏡頭、細節的設置有極高水準。
爱你对峙过宗教
⚠️⚠️特别信宗教神灵的别看！别看！别看！已经不是恐不恐怖的问题了！

6.1 希望恐怖片导演们都放下对伪纪录片的莫名执着，不断出现的配乐请问是鬼配的吗?白瞎了这丰富的美术设计，想必从都市怪谈和民俗仪式中汲取了很多灵感。
观影全程不害怕，看完了去刷牙发现牙龈出血，下意识去摸牙时到真给我吓一跳。
本来还以为结尾肯定又是人在装神弄鬼，但本片做了暧昧的处理，没有把鬼神元素给否决掉。这在国产恐怖片中是非常难得的。
不要盯着那些经文看!
导演笑着说：大黑佛母和所有神像的设计和制作最烧钱，我们把钱都砸在这里了！尤其是那一尊大黑佛母是我们去找人做的，手势、咒语到符咒符号都是我们虚构的。不过能让大家一直问是不是真的存在的神明，代表我们的美术团队真的很厉害！”大家千万不用担心看完《咒》会被“祝福”啦～
一群无神论的社会主义青年 基本没看过恐怖片 抱着猎奇的心态来看咒 看完竟然代入感这么强觉得晦气 有点可笑了 到底是迷信还是不迷信呢？
想起以前曾有许多巴拉巴拉必须转发多少次巴拉巴拉不转发就怎样怎样的智障信息，这个“咒”亦或有影射于此的意思。不信谣不传谣跟大佬走，马选毛选挂中堂，镇宅辟邪当属顶流。
不知道你们有没有发现，湾湾的片子之前大陆没资源的时候，人家好评如潮，一旦大陆上了资源，口碑猛跌，是因为大陆人欣赏水平高？还是只是单纯的难伺候？
和灵媒的问题如出一辙，试图通过伪纪录片的形式营造更沉浸的氛围，可全摄像机视角却成了影片叙事最大的桎梏，机位的失真和露骨的设计感完全让人无法进戏，最后果然连煽情配乐都出来了，一开始还煞有介事地暗示信不信的问题就更显得有点好笑，所以还是那句话，今后想拍这类片的导演先好好学学怎么拍伪纪录片吧
笑死了，引用vv的话：“合着搞了半天就是小时候那种转发十人不然家人暴毙的套路。”等了那么久友邻们相约今晚一起看～最后一起打两星
