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.
20分鐘的剧情，硬生生用长镜头空镜头填充出92分钟；
剧情很扯，罪犯无脑至极，女权yy片
当官的家人是坏的。
美术和配乐很厉害，最后百鸟朝凤、龙争虎斗的场景特别美，不同角色落泪的场景都很动人。但可能小时候没看过这部，也没啥情怀。#siff2019# 13 @ 美琪
有点意思又差点意思，做成微电影会好很多，节奏一直起不来…像个阳痿的男人

哈哈，小时候看这个有些怕，总觉得那个老狐妖长得慎人
莉莉的又一烂片，编导是她老公，大概莉莉到最后自己也受不了这片子了，把劫匪和老公都干死了，然后片子就结束了，观众一脸懵逼，她看上没那么嫩了，哎。
能感受到制作非常用心，因为年代比较远，以为不会有什么共鸣，没想到最后结尾部分破防，让我想到自己的师傅。
害怕天书被坏人利用，玉皇大帝的解法是让任何人都看不到天书；天书流窜人间引起风波后不得已被焚，流传的唯一解法是存入脑中。上海美影厂的动画确实『探民族艺术之路 敲喜剧样式之门』达成“奇 趣 美”：传统与乐团交响的配乐一直有特色地好，这部的天书法术创意更是让人目不暇接，拍手叫好：群鸟治蝗、聚宝盆儿、蛋尿治病、一群爸爸、百鸟朝凤、龙虎大战、五手追书……最惊喜的是看到“击鼓疗腿”，节奏终于派上了好用场～「剧终」时后排的爸爸说“感觉没演完，应该有下部吧？”，下部就是《大闹天宫》吧。
不知道有啥好看的，可能是我31岁年纪大了，呵呵，小时候也没印象看过，现在看觉得挺难看的，额
有众多著名配音，那个把饼套脖子上转圈儿吃的蛋生，嘿嘿～～

充满想象力，也是一部真正的国产动画大片，可怜现在的国产动画质量实在太次了
能看到制作团队对独特的民族风格动画的艺术追求，人物形象很生动，水墨场景很美，中国音乐和动画配合得也很好，但可能是受限于体制和时代环境，个人觉得故事和人物性格比较单薄。
至今仍在心中留着最美的印象
要说缺陷可能只是叙事上还不够绵密，像寺院的情节就有损节奏。在说资源在权力层级链条中的流动，各个叙述单元的视觉表现都很出色，尤其皇帝的形象，表达力度相比《姜子牙》这样更新的电影可见一斑，大概从这里逐渐形成中国动画怪诞甚至偏暗黑的审美趣味（比如被轧断腿、狐妖盗取天书后的乱舞）。
Netflix拿下杰森·席格尔、莉莉·柯林斯、杰西·普莱蒙主演的惊悚片[意外之财](Windfall，暂译)全球发行权，据悉该笔交易金额高达8位数美元。影片由莉莉的未婚夫查理·麦克道威尔执导，麦克道威尔、席格尔创作了故事，贾斯汀·莱德([爱的就是你])、安德鲁·凯文·沃克([七宗罪])共同撰写剧本。该片是一部希区柯克式的惊悚片，讲述了一对年轻夫妇来到他们的度假屋，却发现那里已被洗劫。该片已于今年早些时候杀青。
電影對蝴蝶引起的人物關係變化的稱號描繪很有意思。只是最後那妻子殺死那個「劫匪」很可能是那一句「I don't give a f*k」，但殺死丈夫是為什麼呢？
2021.11.6大银幕4K修复版，包场。狐狸母女进宫后看睡着，上个世纪左翼电影把清白的良心还给了底层，一百年不到，国产影视剧又把心机和穷人、天真和富人进行了链接，穷人也许更容易败坏，但一定是富人先堕落的，
