I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
There are reviews here that go into detail about the plot, what little of it there is. I won't go into that here.The effects are actually quite good! The total destruction of these victims is precisely what the doctor ordered for gore hounds. These dudes do some really messed up things to their victims. Like, REALLY messed up.Honestly, the only reason to watch this is for the gore, and by all accounts this film DEFINITELY delivers. A CLEAR example of why practical effects will ALWAYS be better than CGI.Forget about an actual plot though. It's paper thin. It's made of aerogel or something. LOLThe ending was INSANELY disturbing as I think about what it hints @. It honestly bothered me. A lot. Which I guess was the point. Considering everything that happened in the film beforehand, the ending is EXTREMELY disturbing. Probably the most disturbing part of the whole film.Recommended for die-hard gore hounds ONLY.
Deliberately paced vivisections are the meat of this nearly plot less gore exploration, which in quite a few ways tops the original Japanese Guinea Pig series whence it sprung. Although many will complain of the lack of dramatic content, this movie is a hideous spectacle that displays creativity in ways other than developing an interesting "plot" or "characters"...and these ways are for the most part exceedingly nasty. Some angles and films stocks and effects look more realistic than others, but most of the rough stuff plays pretty well or very well. It is no small achievement that after nearly an hour of carnage, Biro, Koch, Bebber, and company manage plumb the most disturbing depths in the final gore sequences and epilogue. Included are some quite memorable usages of needles, a crucifix, and branch clippers...
Sure it's gory, but the special effects are really rather unrealistic and lack luster. No story, no plot. What would this be.. a 10 page script?This here people is called how to do a movie with the least amount of work possible. If you want to see this crap there are ton's of real internet sites showing real people dying in worse ways. This may of been "shocking" in the 80's... today it is just boring.Do not waste your time or money with this junk.And wow IMDb want's at least 10 lines for a review. There is not 10 lines of dialogue in this movie. Literally my review has more words than the entire film.
In 1991, actor Charlie Sheen contacted the FBI after watching Japanese gore-fest Guinea Pig: Flower of Flesh and Blood (1985), convinced that what he had seen was a genuine snuff movie; the bureau's investigation was eventually dropped after the makers of the film demonstrated that the on-screen dismemberment of a woman that had so shocked Sheen was nothing more than a impressive display of special effects.American Guinea Pig: Bouquet of Guts and Gore sees Stephen Biro of Unearthed Films teaming up with make-up expert Marcus Koch to go one better than the infamous Japanese splatter classic by depicting an even more disturbing display of human butchery—the systematic physical destruction of not one, but two women by a gang of sadistic film-makers, who record every last nauseating detail on film and VHS tape.Bouquet of Guts and Gore starts with the abduction of the unfortunate females by a gas-mask wearing weirdo hiding on the back seat of their car. The action then cuts to a makeshift studio where the women—now strapped to operating tables—are revived, injected with a neuromuscular blocking agent and given a dose of LSD, after which their outer garments are removed. Twenty two minutes into the film and the gory stuff finally begins, Koch and his special effects team pulling out all the stops to make the on-screen torture and butchery as convincing as possible.The first victim (the one on the left always start on the left!) has her hand removed, followed by a foot and then the leg at the knee. The second leg proves to be more of a challenge, the bone requiring some serious effort. An arm comes off next. The head provides some particularly revolting moments, with a spot of Un Chien Andalou-style eyeball trauma and the administration of an extreme 'Chelsea Smile' using a saw. The torturer then disembowels his victim, bleeds her out by removing the tourniquets from her stumps, and then cuts out her heart.The second girl has the skin stripped from both arms, the flesh peeled off her legs, and her chest opened up. A lump hammer is used to smash in her teeth and a cigarette is stubbed out in her eye, the guy pushing his thumb deep into the socket for good measure. The woman's rib-cage is then snipped away with bolt-cutters to reveal her heart still beating (how these women remain alive during such trauma is one of my minor bugbears—but more of that in a mo). The finishing move this time is a frenzied slashing of the neck with a sharp knife (followed by a little chainsaw action).As extreme horror movies go, this is definitely amongst the most gruelling I've seen, Marcus Koch's stomach churning effects ensuring a satisfyingly gruesome time for anyone brave enough to watch. Stephen Biro's direction is in keeping with the original Guinea Pig movie, capturing the horror in a suitably matter-of-fact, in-your-face manner. If I can find any faults with the film, it's that the action becomes a little repetitive at times (amputate the left leg, amputate the right leg, skin the left arm, skin the right arm etc.), some of the performances are a little ropey (there's a touch too much dialogue for my liking), and, as I've already mentioned, it's hard to believe that the women would stay alive for as long as they do under the circumstances (pseudo-snuff needs to be believable to be truly effective).Despite these issues, I have no qualms about rating this sick little splatter flick 8 out of 10 for being so amazingly bloody and ballsy, and wonder whether the makers dare go where they threaten with the final scene. Only a sequel will tell.
