Brutal (2007)

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Just finished watching the (TV edited) version of this so-so film on Chiller. I must admit, I'd never even heard of it before I saw it on the listings this morning. It was, after all a direct-to-video release - which might be why many of the reviews here in IMDb were less than complimentary. Really, though: it wasn't THAT bad. I had a little trouble accepting Jeff Combs as a sheriff. He looked...odd with a mustache and a cowboy hat but that's just me, I guess. He did an acceptable job in the role'.I didn't like the exposing of the bad guy pretty much at the very beginning of the film. That was kind of stupid for the writer/director to do that. I think it would have been a little better had we the viewers been given the chance to puzzle out his identity while the characters were.Although the acting certainly wasn't Oscar-winning by any means, I've sure seen worse than what was in this little piece of work.All in all, it was OK. Not rotten, not "HOLY S**T!! this was great!" An acceptable diversion - but I don't think I'd watch it again...well, maybe if someone handed me the uncut DVD even though I suspect the only difference would be some T&A which wasn't strictly necessary to the story line.

This movie was terrible. I couldn't even get myself to watch it to the end so if anyone wants to discredit my comment for that reason go ahead. I rarely, even when it's bad, actually turn a movie off.The scenes the actors and the settings along with the props and lights all made you associate it to porn - low budget porn.In a small town, small enough to only have two policemen, what are the chances of 2 women wearing mini-skirts and offer you sexual services spontaneously as well as one lesbian couple making out in a pub and offer an uptight biology teacher a "free show"? The scene build-up to the killings where all with the build up to sex in a classical porn manner - but instead of sex you get people being brutally murdered or hacked to bits with a chainsaw.I like horror, I don't mind slasher movies, I don't mind brutal content but this movie wasn't even bad in a funny way this movie is nothing but porn for serial killers. The plot is bad, acting is bad, lines are bad and poorly delivered the build ups are silly and unrealistic to lead up to the climax - murder.

I rent a ton of horror films on a regular basis but most I have a very hard wanting to continue watching all the way thru. I watched this one twice in one day. First of all, it does a great job of character development. You know what you need to know about all the main characters in the first 20 minutes. It lives up to it's name, BRUTAL because the method of killing was just that and some was actually in camera. I'm an effects artist so I would have liked to have seen more and I could have done a few things for them on this but it was above average. The girls in this were among the hottest girls I've seen. I mean all of the women were gorgeous! And then to top it off, it had it's very funny moments and in places you would least expect it. My hats off to these people for making a great horror film. I certainly hope they will make more.

OK so I have seen 'B' before, well I would class this as an 'F' movie. I have never seen a movie this bad, it was like a school kids first try at a film project. The acting was nasty, I cant even tell you how bad the camera work was... If you have nothing else to watch, and this is at the video store, well... Go home and have a nap, you dreams will be better quality. I rated it a 1, there was no 0!!! Basical it an attempt at a thriller mystery, but I have never see a movie that lets you know who the killer is throughout the whole move. I gory scenes a poorly done, you could do a better job at home with a bottle of Hinze and a plastic knife. I honesty wonder how movies like this actually make it to DVD.
