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.
好久不见啊，夏目君娘口三三。2021年又见面啦
两个小故事的合辑。《石起》部分一直期待小妖怪变强的反转，但还是以夏目式的温馨结束，其实也是对的，因为它本身就是弱小但内心强大。《可疑访客》居然讲三笹，田沼的这个故事其实必然发生，作为有灵力却不能见到妖怪的人，多少会对朋友嫉妒或自卑，安排了一个三笹的故事来映衬，也让田沼终于与唯一能见的鱼塘幻影有更深的接触，这样很好。

依旧是两个温馨可爱的故事。第一个可能是妖怪比较面生，让我有点提不起精神，第二个有老熟人田沼，那谁谁变成人类可真帅啊。。。有理由相信制作组故意放出新的帅哥来吸引我的注意，好有心机！
一直都那么治愈，夏目已经能保护别人了TAT
没啥主线剧情，不过三筱的确帅，片尾曲也超好听。
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
（只是《石起こし》《怪しき来訪者》两集TV版而已，算不算在圈钱？没啥特别的，还是岁月静好。）
多好的一部动画呀，要是能在我童年的时期引进中国就好了。
两个温馨的小故事。唤石，一个小小、小小的妖怪，善良温柔又呆萌，但他那句“想回应对自己抱有期待的对象”让我记住了它。

热闹不代表充实。
本来也想闭眼打五星，但是看了以后感觉剧情有点空洞，田沼和夏目，你们俩还是正常的友谊吗？
PS：娘口三三的戏份太少了，怎么说都是此系列作最“大牌”的配角(木有之一)，这两个故事基本都在打酱油。。。那和其他配角还有啥区别。。。强烈建议新系列加大三三的戏份哈！
唤石者，根子里的执着远比追逐奖励更能实现不辜负，且能看见实现理想路上大树隧道的奇妙风景，将奖励的美酒，胜利的果实分享给一路伙伴，喜悦！
三筱的人形意外的好看啊，被朋友的能力超越的时候，还是有点寂寞啊。猫咪老师依然是个大酒鬼
人形三蓧让我想起夏目变小那集喵咪老师变成夏目潇洒摆pose连问三个“如何”的场景hhh，为什么这些大妖怪都这么帅呀！最后和田沼在一起的场景真的太像一家三口了啊（我有罪🙉）
动画延长线，与其说剧场版，不如说是连着看了两集动画。还是那个味道。
Part1再不起眼积极努力你就值得被看见
安宁、温和，看夏目和猫团子的意义就是这些了吧
