Well, this is a Nasuverse story, so really bad things things being done is expected; by both villains and heroes (are there real heroes in the Nasuverse?).
But yeah, this really is a Must See series if you don't mind the crapsack world. Beautifully animated with fight scenes that are truly stunning.
Nasuverse fans might be depressed though. This is what the Tsukihime anime should have been, at least in terms of action, theme, and tone.

I don't know. I really like the Nasuverse, but the movies just felt...empty to me. A bunch of fight scenes and metaphysical babble that is near impossible to penetrate do not make for a very enjoyable series for me.

Kara no Kyoukai movies
Serial murders have begun plaguing a Japanese city. Ryougi Shiki, heir to a family with special powers, seeks out the killers in order to quench her bloodlust. But is Shiki a murderer herself? What is the power behind her eyes? And who is the mastermind behind the serial killers?
Adapted to seven movies from the novels by Nasu Kinoko, the prototype of Tsukihime, Kara No Kyoukai is one of the most visually stunning anime, with a beautiful yet eerily haunting soundtrack by Kajiura Yuki. However, it is not without its flaws. The second movie - the only one without a fight scene - is rather slow paced, and the details of the fifth, sixth, and seventh movies are a bit hard to understand. The seventh also has a Yank The Dogs Chain Like You Would Really Do It ending. However, this does not remove it from must watch status.
P.S. - The first four movies are in Anachronic Order, so unless one is acquainted with Tsukihime, they won't have a clue of what's going on until the fourth movie. Until then just sit back and enjoy the ride, and let the plot sort itself out later.
