　　Most Remarkable Film I Have Ever Seen
　　While definitely not for everyone, this movie effectively captures J.G. Ballard's difficult novel of the same name. More visual than literal, The Atrocity Exhibition forces the viewer to re-think the art of film and of story telling. It effectively communicates in a new language that caused some who saw it to declare that it 'changed their lives'. It changed mine as well, although I'm not exactly sure in what way. And while I can't say that I completely 'got ' the story, the story that I got was fascinating and one that I can't forget. I've since read the book and that certainly helped, but it wasn't necessary to enjoy the film. This film stands as one of my favorites alongside the best works of Kubrick, the Coen brothers and Hitchcock.

　　『Not Found』と『ほんとにあった! 呪いのビデオ』シリーズのスタッフが結集して製作された新たな心霊ビデオシリーズ（？、となるか否か）。テーマは大仰に、「死をもたらす可能性がある画像」＝俗称、『死画像』をピックアップしているとのことだが、その画像自体は、本シリーズの末巻に収められているだけであり、全体的なテーマとは呼びにくい（一応、そういったイメージは偏在しているが）。しかし、どの短編もアイデアとガッツとセンスが溢れており、クオリティは充分。しかも統一感は然程感じられないのにも関わらず、これが何故か上手く統制されている。いずれも現実への侵食（逸話）が倒置されていて死をしっかりと暗示させる恐怖の質感が全体に張り巡らされているのことがその要因として大きいと思われるが、単なる筆者の錯覚でしかないかもしれない。形式はオムニバスで簡単なインタビュー映像と共に映像集は形成されています。最初に言っておくと非常に面白い作品なので、引き返して取り敢えず観て頂くことを推奨します

　　“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.
