Brutal (2014)

In the gripping narrative of BRUTAL, we follow the harrowing journey of Trevor (Morgan Benoit), snatched from the safety of his childhood backyard by an enigmatic extraterrestrial force. Thrust into an otherworldly gladiator-like arena for almost two decades, Trevor, once a naive child, has morphed into an unrelenting warrior. His latest opponent is Derek (Jeff Hatch), a cunning ambulance-chasing lawyer, who finds himself a fresh pawn in the merciless game of survival. As weeks turn into months, the relentless exchange of blows between the two men reveals the stark reality of their existence and the complex layers of their humanity. Drawing parallels with THE TWILIGHT ZONE and THE PRISONER, BRUTAL ingeniously uses the lens of science fiction, allegory, and psychological drama to delve into the dark depths of human propensity for violence, and our disturbing comfort in causing unimaginable harm to each other. Yet, amidst this savage landscape, the film also shines a light on our ability to find tenderness in the face of despair. It beautifully echoes the resilience of the human spirit and our innate capacity to love, even in the direst of circumstances. BRUTAL is a poignant exploration of humanity's dual nature, a testament to our ability to be both monstrous and compassionate.
