Guinea Pig Part 3: He Never Dies (1986)

The previous Za ginipiggu movies were all quite serious movies, featuring as much blood and gore as possible, without serving a purpose- or try to tell a story really. This entry picks a more light approach, making this movie more like a comedy than anything else really. It makes the movie a more pleasant and entertaining watch, which in return also makes this a better and less pointless movie to watch than its predecessors.Yes, of course the movie still features lots of blood, when a man tries to commit suicide in multiple different ways but fails each time. It makes the movie strangely morbidly funny. The guy is a looser, who can't even commit suicide right. It's comedy doesn't make its gore any less gory though, just more easy to handle.Its different approach of things makes this definitely a better and as well a more entertaining movie to watch. It's still a pretty pointless movie but it's fun nonsense.6/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

You can't sit back and bash this movie like most people do, its actually very good! As we all know Za Ginipiggu, is a very brutal film series. After Flowers of flesh and blood and all the controversy (funny how that was the one that did it and not Devil's experiment lol) ANYWAYS! This is the comic relief of the series, it has the gore and at first you honestly don't know whats going on. But immediately you connect with him being a bored guy who just got out of school and sees how the world works. He as the movie title suggests finds out a secret about himself.Its dark and hilarious as well with some silly humor, and not funny because its bad or something, its funny because thats how it was made to be. The beginning dark and goes into a roller coaster of fun. After Devil's experiment and Flowers of flesh and blood, this is definitely a good breather and lightens the mood before continuing onto the the next movie of brutality.My suggestion would be watch it AFTER the first two, you'll enjoy it more.

"He Never Dies" is the third of the "Guinea Pig" films. It is also the first one of them to have an actual plot. And it works relatively well considering the film's shoestring budget.This is a simple tale of a depressed Japanese businessman whom after being dumped by his girlfriend, decides to end his life. But what he soon finds out that it might not be so easy. For some reason he is unable to die, hence the name "He Never Dies".What soon becomes apparent after watching a few minutes of the film is that the mood which dominated the first two parts of the series is changed to a less serious comedic one. No longer are we presented with the idea of a documentary type picture. Instead the viewer is treated to a comedic gore film more similar to Peter Jackson's Dead Alive. This doesn't necessarily mean that it is inferior, but it loses some of it's edge compared to the previous installments. Yes there is a lot of gore in it but it never reaches the stomach churning effect of "Flowers Of Flesh And Blood". Simply because it is treading in a crossroad with it's attempt to incorporate a plot but at the same time suffering from budget limitations. Production value is visibly low and while that could have been excused in the past entries because of their snuff film appearance, here they become a problem to properly enjoy the film. For what it's worth the acting is surprisingly good with the actors demonstrating some very entertaining reactions towards the main character's "problem"."He Never Dies" is a very different from the previous, film. With it's includement of plot and characters and comedic presentation it lost a lot of the shock effect the first two movies were known for. But it made it up for it's the sheer entertainment value.

This third installment in the Guinea Pig cycle prostitutes its way to wider acceptability with humor.Trouble is, the humor is so juvenile it's tedious.A salaryman decides to off himself. He cuts off his own hand, rips out his innards and saws through his throat with a long knife.Unfortunately (for him), these gory acts don't kill him...they only make him stronger and more determined to find other ways of suiciding.Considering the fact that these productions are shot on video (which is a very harsh, unforgiving medium), the special make-up effects are pretty amazing. If they had been filmed and lit more low key, they'd be almost perfect.HE NEVER DIES becomes even sillier when our hero's best buddy and girlfriend turn up.Definitely miles removed from the mean-spirited hijinks of the previous two installments, this is mildly amusing if you shuttle from gore scene to gore scene.Still, you have to admire the Japanese for their balls in producing material like this.
