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.
意外还不错，没有停留在对老一辈恐怖片各类元素的肤浅复古之上 3.5
但凡booking查下民宿的评分，也不至于把成人片拍成了恐怖片。
当摄影师被老太杀死，高潮就此到来。 恐怖剧情从头就营造的比较完美
题材不错，就节奏太慢了，好像还有续集的2部值得期待
80年代真的是黄金时代，同样是青春少女遭遇变态杀手虐杀的题材，《X》在80年代的滤镜下拍得如此让人耳目一新，不再是纯粹地玩血浆了。电影的剪辑手法独特，平行叙述玩得溜，特别是屋子里的人在唱歌和别墅里的老太太一同出现在屏幕上的场景。黑色幽默几乎贯穿了整部电影，既恐怖又搞笑。毫无疑问，这是今年目前为止最好的恐怖片。
铺垫比杀戮好看啊，第三位女主角的出现毫不遮掩地展现了新道德对旧道德的冲击，在自由的年轻人面前，老观念的束缚显得那么狰狞丑陋。
A24 always special！！！戏中戏刻意追求形式感，米娅·高丝裸足神似昆汀磨坊戏作。视听风格依旧炸裂，切题角度永远不落窠臼。宗教亵渎、老年人性压抑、年轻人性解放，体制反抗、灵肉分离、欲求不满、爱而不得、追忆青春等一众看似风马牛不相及的素材杂糅，观影体验堪称离奇。
就很难定义 说是恶俗的血浆片吧 还是有点可以思考的东西在的 但要真去思考 又只是非常蜻蜓点水的带过 老年人的爱欲确实是个被忽视的话题 感觉绝大部分对老年人生活的描绘都限于互相搀扶着蹒跚行走 哪怕有一两部老年人恋爱 两个人也是温馨多过欲望 而且演员也不会老的那么真实 不像这部片子里一样 佝偻的身体 干瘪的皮肤 遍布全身的老年斑 但遗憾的是这个片子也就到此为止了 她的求欢 对年轻女孩肉体的迷恋 猎奇的感觉更多一点 不过我喜欢这种干脆的杀人 说杀就杀 完全不逼逼 反派一个死于心脏病 一个死于低估了枪的后坐力 完全摆脱了反派死于话多的cliche
3.5。比较好看。丛生着一股优雅而又诡异的危机感。
从各个层面都平平无奇的一部片，既不horny也不scared，视听也乏味可陈，哦，致敬了德州电锯，so what？
许久不见的坦荡剥削片，穿梭于无数70年代references之间（最主要的是霍珀在这段时期拍摄的《德州电锯杀人狂》与《活活生吞》），致力于在可预知的情节框架中制造出人意料的惊奇时刻，剧本、剪辑的节奏也都还是原汁原味的缇·威斯特。旗帜鲜明地反对A24 elevated horror那套arthouse cliché，透着一股点到为止的幽默、悲情和自恋。

老太太的作案动机是恐怖片中挺新奇的一种，饱含对青春年华逝水的挽歌，余存体内的性欲被外来的X级电影唤醒，怒冲心头的嫉妒漾出了心际，鳄鱼的捕猎，农叉的死念，空弹的手枪，年少轻狂过后，只有病态的无谓与疯狂的屠杀。
小黄片还行，农场的女儿。。农场的老BT夫妇一般般
口味挺重的电影，我给7星，题材是之前没有过的，这就已经很难得了，现在的恐怖片题材都已经是千篇一律了。
摄影:★★
总的还算能看的经典套公式电影，得益于其老派的摄影风格、复古流行乐赏、七十年代与生俱来的影像质感和怀旧潮，以及大伙儿对于“性”的态度！
根据这里的一切来看……应该是tmd恐怖片吧。
X，X这部电影也太X了吧，好多XX的场景，看得人想XX…（X部分请自行脑补）
太难看了唉，年轻人，旅游，性，杀戮，宗教，翻来翻去排列组合拍。两老人也很惨，舞者和军人多么美好的组合要被性欲搞成丑陋的反派
