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.
两个小故事，作为剧场版确实不够充实，难怪不上院线…
虽然只有短短两集，但依旧能给人耳目一新的感觉，例如唤石者利用会说话的地图来寻找神明，田沼被妖怪控制，要靠妖怪来解救这样的新颖剧情。

还是很温柔的。但是两集动画的量能不能快点出下一季啊。我更喜欢第一个故事，小小的妖怪想要努力完成想做的事情，真勇敢
没看过前作，就感觉故事也挺普通的，然后作画啥的对于剧场版来说不太够格。
高光时刻还是有，就是看多了已经，不那么容易感动了。
岩铁大人相信我可以做到，为了回应岩铁大人对丑陋卑微的我的信赖和期待，历经磨难也要完成任务。
选在合适的时间总是让一切选择都为情感铺路。
虽然是一个简单的得到任务要坚守任务去完成的故事，挺温馨的。。。治愈，对得起自己的使命
总觉得夏目系列大多和夏天很搭。清爽、温柔。弱小、顽强。善意。
好久没看夏目了。不过石起那小小的身体说出“大人一定是看到了我这渺小身体中的某种潜质和力量才会信任我并赋予我重任”的时候，泪目了。这应该就是“个性积极”的人会想到的吧！友人帐真的是会让我这个情感大老粗觉察和发现很多人类（和妖怪）温柔而细腻的心思。
只能存在于回忆中的名取先生…但是看到夏目我先啊啊啊啊啊尖叫三十秒！
温柔啊
7分。
大家一如既往的温柔与善良，看到一个个熟悉的角色出来时真的要泪目了。希望他们可以一直一直在一起，永远过着这样平静快乐幸福满足的生活，把所有寂寞的缝隙都填的满满当当。
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。
中下水平吧，单独拎出来的感觉并不出众，淡如水的汤，能闻着少许鸡味。也就这样
两集短剧而已，已经没有了当初看剧的那种感觉
ova拼凑成的剧场版，所以减掉一分，但是还是夏目友人帐的老套路，温馨舒适
单看剧场版，果然看不懂，尤其是在想事情的时候。
