  Summary
  

  I won't put one down for each movie but it's basically about a girl named Shiki who has Mystic Eyes of Death Perception which allow her to kill anything, just about. Sound familiar? It should if you've seen Tsukihime, since both series are from Type-Moon. (And others would be Canaan and Fate/Stay Night.) Type-Moon really likes their eye related powers, really.
  
  This also takes place in the same world as Tsukihime, if you've seen the series, Shiki, the male one, was given his glasses by a woman who is the sister of one of the main characters in Kara no Kyoukai.

  There are a few more side stuff such as summary episodes and there is an epilogue episode coming out sooner or later.
  

  
  
  I finished the series recently (as in Movie 1 to 7) and man, it was really good, IMO at least. The movies are faily long too, the 7th movie was 2 hours if I recall. Somewhat of what I thought on each,
  
  Movie 1 - First time I saw Shiki use her eyes, they were simply amazing.
  Movie 2 - Wow, she really can kill anything, even if it isn't a physical object.
  Movie 3 - Somewhat of a flashback, I think, I don't remember this one much.
  Movie 4 - Somewhat of a continuation of 3.
  Movie 5 - This was the best one out of the 7 for me, gore-est as well with antagonist striking his hand through another characters chest and crushing their heart.
  Movie 6 - Seemed like a more for fun movie but there was still nice fighting effects. Somewhat incest.
  Movie 7 - Finale, gore, mature episode, somewhat.
  
  Anyways, if really enjoyed the Type-Moon Series, I would recommend watching the movies if your free. Although watch out for some mature content in some episodes. (IIRC, 2, 5 and 7)

  5 is the best one (I remember marathoning 1-4 just to get to part 5 because I heard it was that good), but I have yet to see 7. I already have it downloaded, but I keep forgetting to watch it. It's a good series, but it can get confusing around the first part of the movies since some of them take place in a different year. The movies are some of the best anime movies I've seen. I also recommend watching it, they are really good.
