Produced by: Vivamax Release Date: 2024 The film Karinyo Brutal, directed by Jose Javier Reyes, takes us into the lives of two neighboring houses, each inhabited by people with a strong appetite for sexual pleasure.
The Carinyo house, led by Apple Dy, is known for their intense scenes of passion, while the Brutal house, led by Armani Hector, is infamous for their rough and unapologetic style. As the story unfolds, we are introduced to various characters who live in these houses. From the short but intense scenes of Apple Dy to the vitamin-deficient Ghion Espinosa, each actor brings their own unique style to their character.
Benz Sangalang may not be the scariest to watch, but Manang Medina adds a touch of humor to the otherwise intense scenes. However, the only character that truly stands out is April Anne Aguila Dolot as the passer-by. Her presence adds an element of intrigue and engages the audience in a way that the main protagonists fail to do. Despite the intriguing premise and promising cast, Karinyo Brutal fails to deliver a compelling story.
The majority of the film is focused on showing off the sexual prowess and desires of its characters, rather than developing a meaningful plot. It’s disappointing to see that even in the last minutes, the story fails to progress. The sound and scoring of the film also leave much to be desired. The music and sound effects, while initially creating an eerie atmosphere, quickly become monotonous and fail to add any depth to the scenes. Even during intense moments of violence, the sound remains surprisingly calm and uneventful.
The sex scenes, which are supposed to be the main focus of the film, also fall flat. They are poorly thought out and lack any real creativity. It’s just a series of stripping, kissing, and being rude, with fake-looking positions and exaggerated moans. It’s clear that the filmmakers were more interested in shock value rather than creating genuine and sensual scenes.
Ultimately, Vivamax Karinyo Brutal 2024 leaves a lot to be desired. It’s a film that aims to titillate and shock, with little regard for a coherent story or compelling characters. It’s a shame to see talented actors like Apple Dy and Armani Hector wasted in a film that fails to do justice to their abilities. Let’s hope that in the future, Vivamax can deliver better and more meaningful content to its audiences. Until then, we can only hope for a more Karinyo and less Brutal film experience.
