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.
神秘访客值得。换石太水了。夏目的剧本品控加油。
star wink ED起来还是被温柔到了
快节奏里让人peace又治愈的存在。以及又get了三三金句，热闹不代表充实。
这个翻译不太对，正确翻译应该是唤石者和怪异的来客
就是记忆里的夏目啊。
不可结缘，徒增寂寞。如果有一天夏目完结了，我想我也会很寂寞。
夏目看到现在已经不在乎剧情的放慢，像是在和夏目一起散步，没有令人心头一喜的兴奋，没有令人眼前一亮的绽放，只有抚过脸颊的微风和落在头顶的朝阳，我愿意放慢呼吸停下脚步享受夏目的温柔，度过一段治愈的旅程。
第一个故事很有趣很有爱啊！第二个个人感觉有点无聊~~~
我觉得很感人的就是夏目想和猫咪老师一起走地道，还有田沼对三筱的感情。三筱人形好高啊555
一个报恩的可爱的唤石小弟
俺はできぬものには頼まん。お前なら見事果たせよ。果たせぬ役目を与えるなら辛いかもしれませんがお前ならできるよ信じて。/ちっぽけな人のことこうしてみたら月のこともいつか懐かしいことになるのだろうか。きっとあっという間か/辛いよな友人に追いつけないと感じるのは。
本来以为是剧场版，后来发现是两个单独的小故事。可是一如既往的好哭，两篇温暖治愈小故事 夏目身边的朋友都好温柔啊。
这孩子活泼些了，真好
两个小故事，一个是虽然弱小，但因为使命感与被信任而最终完成使命。另一个是，朋友间相约嬉戏赴约。
渐行渐远的友谊，第二个故事好伤感。第一个故事有点太刻意去卖日系温暖了，我这个年龄已经看不太进去了。
不可结缘，徒增寂寞吗，也不是啊，回忆就是最美好的礼物。永远会爱猫咪老师
两个可可爱爱的熟悉的配方调和出来的故事：温柔的夏目和傲娇的娘口三三，喜欢各种夏日祭奠感活动的妖怪和总是在纠结自己和夏目“差距”的田沼= =
每过一段时间就会想翻出夏目的温暖来看 这下都看完了可怎么办
来访者根本基情满满啊啊啊啊啊啊
前半部分natsume和娘口三三好甜哦，看到美丽的风景也惦记着要和对方分享
