2010年11月11日，杯视在美国某个农场内，杯视农场主霍伊特·米勒（Jon Gries 饰）的儿子科迪（Nash Lucas 饰）迎来了快乐的八岁生日。谁知刚才还在摄像机前玩耍的男孩，一道蓝光过后竟然凭空消失，下落不明。霍伊特一度为此吃上官司，饱受争议。而美国政府也注意到这一离奇事件，因此于2011年拍出一支调查组前往米勒农场。该调查组由社会文化人类学博士山姆·格林（Steven Berg 饰）、洛杉矶记者卡梅隆·莫菲（Devin McGinn 饰）、摄影师布瑞顿·斯隆（Michael Black 饰）、兽医丽莎·摩罗（Erin Cahill 饰）等专业人士组成，他们在米勒的家中安装了全方位无死角的摄像头，时刻捕捉房间内的一举一动。在此期间，动物群体死亡事件、超离奇噪声等诡异现象交替上演，隐藏在农场上空的秘密却难以窥见……
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.

回复 :The documentary follows the main stages of Janis Joplin’s life, from her performance at Monterey Pop in 1967 to Woodstock in 1969 and Festival Express in 1970, including interviews with relatives, friends and rock stars of her time. The soundtrack features Janis Joplin’s hits, among which Cry Baby, Mercedes Benz and Piece of My Heart. Amy Berg shows the woman behind the myth, other than the rock roll icon, unveils a gentle, innocent yet strong woman. Well known as rock icon, the personal story of Janis Joplin is very complex. Janis serves as a narrator, telling us her life through the letters she wrote to her friends, relatives and lovers, leading us in a journey that starts from her childhood.
