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.
林正英捉鬼用法术、咒语、贴符，这边直接上超高压电击，无意中也体现了东西方差异。这系列再没新创意，很难有吸引力了。只好用怀旧将记忆补全。★★★☆
怀旧致敬1984版。捉鬼本来就挺好的，成了捉魔了。菲比我一直认为是个小弟弟……
虽然老套，但不讨厌这种欢脱和美梦感。Will上台跳舞那段实在太好笑了，尬到我脚趾抓地哈哈哈哈。
小丫头以后绝对是大美女啊，棉花糖鬼比大白可爱多了，养一个也不错
6/10. Un poco cansado.
[视]上部女团，这次儿童，都是政确；上次雷神，这部蚁人，年度性感。导演<朱诺><在云端><情动假日>，棉花糖版米其林很萌，“监控嫌少”系列，乡村背景，小女主红脖子化，1945世界无事，结尾致敬，片尾有彩蛋，片尾曲
泪目系情怀电影。电影本身中规中矩，不过它能勾起你的童年回忆。
没看过前作，只看续集有很多设定不清楚。但因为有麦肯齐妹妹全片都好看了很多，一开始看这个造型还没认出来是麦肯齐，只觉得小姑娘好可爱(//∇//)。
Nothing tops the originals, but what they did here was fun and thrilling enough.丨@ Pathé Breda, 24 Nov 2021
有些点还蛮好笑的，但最大的惊喜还是小女孩，也太可爱了吧！
属于比较无聊的复古，不过看到四人组重聚真是被这情怀给贩卖到了
#R# 3.5分。诺阿的主观视角，和他所感受到的同《傲慢与偏见》共振的生存感受（对社会规则了解且保持理性、善良、高敏感甚至自卑、对“欢乐而无脑”的同志文化的介入渴望与深处的距离感）。虽然不够电影，但其实作为消遣还行；旁白迫不及待地解释，有时候像是一个脱口秀演员陪你看家庭录影带时忍不住解释，其实有种见人见智的真诚与脆弱感。大家给分太低了，导致我以为会是类似台湾Gay版《红楼梦》那种东西，结果还蛮惊喜的。（《傲慢与偏见》可能是个可以依靠的框架，但也可能是限制了。）
三星全给小女主，喜欢她的天才少女和小谢尔顿。总是演天才美少女，这个压力也确实是不小，长大了不知道咋办。
7/10。沃尔玛奇妙夜，棉花糖小人萌我一脸血。最后看到三个初代捉鬼敢死队的队员亮相，我竟然眼泪出来了。这一部直接可以定义为儿童冒险电影，但还是好看好哭的
这个棉花糖小人是米其林轮胎么→_→
用诺阿的旁白叙事，不交代好集美豪依在想什么，在做什么，但故事却把豪依的爱情线当成了重点，有点分不清情感力度的主次了。看着一群好集美满嘴伐木累正能量，就知道是被好莱坞主流制片厂的主流喜剧路线绑架了。拿着小妞电影的路子拍同志，结果只剩下了聒噪。
近些年来的发展，当然除开一些地区的持续倒退，同性议题本身也足够明显得向着多元化发展，并且亚裔角色作为主要内容的题材，意义更是具有节点性，肉眼可见的涉猎内容的多态性，也更加对于未来的电影生态充满好奇，当然没有说某些地区。
强卖情怀，让十二岁的女主角拿着上个世纪的武器去打鬼大可不必。
这是一部爱情惊悚恐怖喜剧片。
超级情怀的一部电影，几个小朋友都很可爱，原版演员悉数回归（已故的 Harold Ramis 化为数字鬼魂回归本片），结尾彩蛋也诚意满满，虽然少了些刺激的桥段，但让人十分期待下一部！
