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.
本以为是一部低配版《大腕》，没想到我还是太高看土味东北喜剧了，其实这群演员可以驾驭任何电影，无论什么主题、内容和流派，反正拍出来都是一股馊味。
或许一开始以短片为目标更为适合，作为一部长片略显真空，不过很有希望入围日奥最佳摄影
“我下周去旅行”……如果知道这是最后一面该多好。
电视叙事的方式和真奈与堇的关系一样暧昧，两个女孩子的气质很适合这部作品的角色，理解了朋友观影后满足地说这里面全是粉丝想看到的美波。
整体还不错，看这个片名就知道不是啥正经电影了，尽管如此电影也没弄啥特土特懒的情节和梗，当一部正经电影看也未尝不可。前面有点殡葬西红柿首富的感觉，后期则有点不太合理的地方。总体还不错。
日复一日 终归大海
这种莫名其妙的拉胯结尾，甚至还不如前面别让人觉得有点希望
比较平静吧。躺在床上咬手指的那一幕、在客厅涂指甲油吃水果的那一幕，都想你
个人觉得可以直接从一小时三十分开始看 就会更清楚两女主感情时间线是怎么连上的 假设堇还活着 真奈没有看到录像带 是不是两人有可能依旧不会在一起 整部剧表达出来的感情戏实在太隐晦了 堇手上带着的发圈也是蓝色的 就像大海的颜色 也伏笔了她的命运是吗 看完还是有点感慨习惯记录生活点滴的重要性 要是录像带在堇还活着的时候就给了真奈 结局可能就不一样了
拍得不是很聪明，是松散、平淡，缓慢的，也有种漫无目的、不知所云的混乱，但仍是有感动人心的瞬间，岸井雪乃表现不差，在一些角度下还挺好看的，美波非常非常可爱，她真的是太会撩了，可惜两人的对手戏太少了，来来回回就是那几段，用海来形容这个双向暗恋的蓝色故事再合适不过了，望着一望无际的大海，听着海浪拍打在礁石上，好安静，好难过。
节奏太慢过于冗长，如果把视角聚焦在两个女生之间晦暗不明的心事会更好一点，中间突然插入一段遇难者家属的自白，让人摸不着头脑。堇这个角色的性格倒是挺有意思的，滨边美波的颜也没话说，就多给一颗星吧。
5分多差不多，，滨边美波什么高配版韩素希，看呆了💔前面要哭不哭的看到结尾动画从海里看到岸上的mana还是哭了😢
不得不说，佳佳本身的艺术修养和审美还是要高出一般东北网大电影导演及演员的，本片整体可以算作及格，但也到此为止了，更像是一个加长版的小品，如果所有的网络电影都能达到这个水平，那才算是网络电影迎来了春天。
还有虚幻美波要亲雪乃，雪乃流泪了。那段觉得雪乃那段演技很棒。
缺点一目了然，12年的“时间感”几乎为零，暗流涌动的情愫靠两位若手勉强传递出来了一些，而初见的独特性真是一点都没有get到。很难说美波发挥出了多少“演技”，虽然短发造型清爽，反倒是雪乃的几个眼神更刺痛人心，而且有些画面里她是一种地味的美，近乎凝结的悲伤似乎要从心底溢出，个人魅力与演技的双重get√。导演野心比才华更大，效果就是两个主题互不兼容，甚至3.11地震部分挤压了女性暧昧又幽美的情感空间。真心不如围绕她俩专心做文章，好好想象一下她俩的情感小宇宙，多挖掘一下同学-同居-疏远-分别-追忆这条线，至少可以是一篇看齐《死者》的散文诗。
就是说，个人最喜欢的是，雷雨天俩人一起躺在床上互相对视的那一幕。
结尾是雨水循环般对生命的释然
电影片段短视频爆火就想看了试试，完成度确实很高，至少看了不会后悔吧，适合消遣。
三星是给滨边美波的
