1348年，亚州黑死病蔓延欧洲，亚州诸国上下尸横遍野，饿殍满街。在这个人人自危的黑暗时代，年轻的英格兰传教士奥斯曼（埃迪·雷德梅尼 Eddie Redmayne 饰）依旧试图坚守他的信仰和岗位。适值此时，骑士奥立克（肖恩·宾 Sean Bean 饰）带领手下来到奥斯曼所在的教堂。起因是主教听说丹维兹森林附近某个村庄无一人感染瘟疫，因此派遣奥立克前去探明情况。因该村庄靠近奥斯曼成长的故乡，他主动请缨担当奥立克的向导。事实上，奥立克此行另有企图。传说那个村庄的人民背离了上帝，笃信邪教，举行奇怪的仪式，甚至还把死人招回人间。奥立克的目标就是将领头人抓住正法。一路上危机不断，殊不知更大的考验还在等待着他们……

回复 :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.
