To me, this movie is perfection.
Highly Overrated But Still Good
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same 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...
I was fortunate enough to have a chance at reviewing this film. I sat in a dark room eagerly awaiting the brutality to begin. It was delivered in spades. This is a cold and heartless work of seething hatred. Two victims are utterly destroyed in gruesome detail. "Graphic gore" just isn't enough to describe it. The masterful FX work by Marcus Koch is perfectly captured with vintage equipment via James VanBebber. For a first time director, Stephen Biro brings the pain. Its a feast of agony and suffering. I hope you're hungry. If you are into the original GP series, you'll be right at home viewing this one. If you are a sick and twisted fiend for gore, do yourself a favor and watch this as soon as possible. If you are curious bystander, just know what you're getting into.
American Guinea Pig: Bouquet of Guts and Gore ... an astonishing work of ultra violence and confrontational cinema. Three men record the vile deeds of their "Star" who systematically tortures and mutilates his costars while taking direction as well as improvising the depraved acts on display. Continuing the Guinea Pig legacy director Stephen Biro has added a worthy addition to the blood- soaked Japanese collection of movies in the series. Audience members were left speechless while viewing the incredible effects of gore master Marcus Koch with the occasional gasps heard following any of the various chaotic acts viewed. The cinematography was compelling and added much more to the overall dread felt watching this snuff film. The actors all seemed to not only understand what their characters are all about but they project their own senses of style and development throughout the piece. Rarely can one effectively recreate the revolting realities of a pseudo snuff film but the talent behind this movie not only matches the carnage that has come before it but adds to the belief that what you are watching actually has and can happen via the lens of madmen.
