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.

《残酷》下载观后评论：

男变态和女变态相爱相杀的故事！原来 … 双方竟是同道中人！最后泪目相拥啊 ～第一次见男性被阉割后是个什么样！也第一次见女性被阉割（缝线）后是个什么样！表示眼睛当场就失明了2秒 …————— ◎ 2018【10月】【T】【2020 ▲ 493】【1小时 7分钟】【原版 ★ 中文字幕】

很久没有那么认真看一部电淫。，不乏变态。。。一个女能杀一个男变态 一群女却逃不过一个男变态？（编剧不允许）还是受不了日本这种无辜被害的片子。。。最后男女变态相杀相爱。。真的是够狗血。。。看了评论才知道会有那种镜头。。。哎 受害变施暴。。。人性还是要善良一点啊，，。

完全没有警察的电影，讲的是男杀女人夺取钱财，女杀男人夺取钱财，男女相遇相打相爱，一边打一边make love。最后，男死女怀孕。全片疑点，男看片时拿着会说话的人头，和她聊了几句，之后人头就不动了，这段感觉是男的幻想吧！不确定。

撇开血腥，我看到的是在这个充满肉欲的社会中的一股清流！怎样才能确认对方是真爱而不是为了打炮？被绑架的女子以为男主是以性为目的的但其实不是。女主则对那些上来搭话就是为了上她的人深恶痛绝。当两人相遇终于确认是真爱却只能互相伤害。

欲望驱使在当下物化性的社会背景下 男人总是想表现出自己的占有欲征服欲 女人总是想得到男人的满足 实则不然！导演用血腥扭曲的视角甚至超现实的手法 批判了对性的肤浅感知 展现出人性在欲望幻灭的那一刻 灵魂的交织才能达到高潮！

一个男人专门虐杀女人，一个女人专门狩猎男人，两人的相遇简直就是命中注定。两人心中都有对性的渴望，却无能为力，内心的极度空虚在见到彼此的身体后产生了共鸣，最终完成了灵魂的交合。不得不说真是够变态的，血浆量爆棚。

血腥十足，b级爽片，不输于现实中那种情节，很真实。开头各种虐杀，残虐那种人体穿刺，疼死，肢解，肠子流一地。真狠窝糙，第二部分看得我好爽，虐男人，刀子猛戳下体。30分钟那段音乐不错。

虽然分为男与女，但我觉得还是非常厌女症的作品，形式大于故事，不仅血腥，镜头也是十分单一的，不过在日本的文化氛围和影像历史里非常成立，这个创作显得更又意义得益于这两方面。

两个爱而不得又亲手毁灭自己欲望的男和女，最后只能通过互相伤害来打到爱的高潮，最后竟然怀孕?有点儿像《莫比乌斯》，只是用了更极端的外壳。

复古滤镜套的很塑料不过考虑到本身就是低成本制作就不用要求太多了，感觉受到女体铳的影响了，三个部分的故事串起来说白了就是亚人开会

被女人伤害而仇恨女人的男人遇到了被男人伤害而仇恨男人的女人后两人释放了仇恨并且相爱……最后孕育出新生命的荒谬夸张的故事……

我一个如此喜欢B级血浆片的人都觉得恶心、压抑且无聊，故事、镜头、场景，所有的一切都毫无创意

一般日式cult片，最後想強行升華下也沒太成功，故意的DV畫質讓小成本顯得更小成本了
