In 1976, a group of people in the desert for a photo shoot stumble upon an abandoned town called Savage. But they are not alone. A family of masked psychopaths have claimed Savage as their own and are hell-bent on living up to its name.

Amid this farrago, the political critique comes over more like accidental backspatter than meaningful statement.

"Brute 1976" is a blisteringly bloody and brutal affair that both pays homage while leaning into modern sensibilities around transgressive horror to deliver a slasher that doesn’t skimp on the gore.

1.5/5

A few interesting ideas and a bevy of queer characters are flattened under confusing messaging, a drawn-out narrative, and terrible editing.

Grim, gritty, and just the right amount of campy, the film wears its influences proudly and pulls them off with confidence. It’s a love letter to a bygone era of horror, a film made for fans of grindhouse terror and psychopathic slaughter.

Brute 1976 is no X, but it is a solid if clichéd slasher.
