Constantly on the hunt and suffering from hallucinations that drive his violent nature, an unnamed man is capturing women and savagely beating them to death. Meanwhile, a woman is luring men into a violent end, by way of her knife. Driven by the same force to make the opposite sex suffer, the killers’ fates intertwine. The two must face off in a battle to the death, in which they are forced to reveal the horrible truth behind their addiction to murder.
“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.
喜欢第二部分【怪异的访客】：娘口三三难得的金句：热闹并不等于充实啊~接着二池主的回忆杀，分明给了猫团子上帝视角啊『有洞察力』的三三不知为何在看漫画时就弱化了。。。
做得像两集TV动画。还是有戳中人心的点。
只要这番不完结，我就一直追下去！我永远是夏目三三的真爱粉！
总觉得夏目系列大多和夏天很搭。清爽、温柔。弱小、顽强。善意。
“高考的时候差三分上同济，后来毕业差点儿去纽大，然后就这样留在上海做个广告制片（好像是这个，我记不太清了），我的人生好像一直在走下坡路。” “那我改天约你去爬山啊” 这段对话真得让我疯狂心动💓
怪异访客 三筱人形居然这么帅？！简直惊艳啊！每次在夏目里看到衰弱的人和妖都很伤感
也没有什么特别的故事。但看的时候觉得温暖。这就很好啦。
石起：小小的天，有大大的梦想。可疑的来访者：你是否也有一个从没赢过的朋友。其实都是老生常谈的主题了，可到夏目这里就是可以讲得又悲伤又治愈。还可以等到第七季吗？
6分 1唤石＝御用起床铃，讲不辜负信任。
就两集tv动画的伪电影...第一集不错 三美萌萌的 被信任的力量 第二集一般 倒是想起老友了 总的来说还是夏目啊 每个人都亚撒西得无以复加 ed挺好听
有生之年 两个小故事 剧场版的话有一点点赶进度 三蓧的故事更棒一点
夏目友人帐就是平平淡淡的，但是又有一点点感动，这样就足够美好了
良作，不知道为什么只有2篇，不知道为什么60分钟都不到还要做剧场版，就是两个小故事，大概只有片尾曲好听】另外标题的石起こし翻译成唤醒石也可以啊，塞翻几个意思
说是特别篇，但其实是把TV的两集塞进来了，夏目可能已经没办法一整季一整季地做了吧，但是每年像这样出现一下已经很满足了。希望夏目和娘口三三一直都在(╥﹏╥)
因为那个人对我来讲很重要，所以能帮的上忙就很开心，即使这个人遥不可及，没关系，我会继续远远的陪着你。
终于有点空档补番～
总觉得夏目系列大多和夏天很搭。清爽、温柔。弱小、顽强。善意。
如果有一天与朋友的差距越来越大，是否仍会以平常心处之呢？这不仅是田沼的担忧，也是我的。但是我想，朋友也许就是即使很久不见，也能一见面就谈天说地的存在。
好久不见夏目了 重启后看见
又丧又治愈。他说不可结缘，徒增寂寞，他说身边热闹不代表就是充实，他说人类的数十年对妖怪而言转瞬即逝……可共赏的月色如此美丽，总是让人怀念。
