Brute 1976 (2025)

 

Set in the 70's, as the title suggests, this is a grainy homage to "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Hills Have Eyes" grind core. Plus points are the story's pretty solid as is the acting, well I've seen far worse, but it's biggest letdown is the running time, 1hr 45, seriously? It runs out of steam at 90 minutes and then takes a Horror folk-lore twist (a genre that bores me) and the pace is sooo slow, worst of all is the lack of on screen gore and violence, one scene is actually censored when some poor guy gets a drill bit down his Johnson!

2.5/5
