American Guinea Pig: Bouquet of Guts and Gore (2015)

I haven't watched a single original guinea pig film. Reading the synopsis for these films was more than enough for me, due to them having no real story. I stumbled upon this and my curiosity got the best of me . So this film is four guys dismembering two girls while filming a snuff film. Now where to begin ? The film is shot on bad quality vhs cameras to give the illusion of a snuff film except it shows the people actually filming this snuff film so the illusion is lost immediately. The acting is terrible, porn quality, as you would expect . The jokes are unfunny. The girls are being injected with lsd so they don't react at all and all you are left with is 90 minutes of some guys exercising in special , gore effects. Having the victims not reacting takes any shock element away from the film but considering the level of "acting" we could expect from these girls maybe that's a blessing. The film is also too long, at least the Japanese films knew how to keep things short , this drags on for what seems like an eternity.Oh and there's a "shocking" ending with a cute baby crying and a kid, obviously having the time of his life being in a movie and all, that we are supposed to be repulsed with because these buffoons are supposed to slaughter them for their next , more extreme , snuff film. Seriously guys , the Italians did it much better in the late seventies/early eighties. You had a guy eating his intestines in anthropophagus, necrophilia and gore in beyond the darkness, a girl puking her insides in city of the living dead and so on and so on. Of course these films had a disturbing story too while this 90 minutes "film" will test your patience. For curious people that can stomach gore effects and have a lot of time in their hands only.

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.

Since the making of American Guinea Pig: Bouquet of Guts and Gore was announced there has been a frenzy of people clamoring to see this film, and after watching it for the first time is it warranted? Emphatically so. This film isn't just cinematic viewing, it's an exercise in personal thresholds of how much the viewer can actually stomach and still continue watching. The feel of this being grainy and gritty blurs the lines of believability causing you to question, "It's just a movie, this isn't real." but no matter how much you assure yourself, it has an uncanny ability to allow that little shred of doubt to seep in.The torture is cathartic, unbridled and animalistic, at no time do you feel what you're watching is anything other than an obligation to take a life deemed worthy of this "attention". Orders are barked from masked men filming, shouting orders like a circus trainer would an animal that without direction would lash out uncontrollably. The imagery you're privy to is nothing short of grotesque and demented, and the FX are so life like that you easily become sucked into the atrocities that unfold.This film firmly places it's foot down defiantly, it's claim is simple; "You will watch everything we have to show you, if you feel sickened, then you receive no sympathies. You have only yourself to blame.". Bouquet of Guts and Gore unapologetically captures your attention and holds it prisoner the entire duration of the film, and I for one can only show my gratitude to Stephen Biro and everyone involved for doing so.

From the very start of this film you are lead by hand and soul/spirit through the slow and morbid crawl of every cut, hack, tear, and gouge of the human destruction on display... the cameras never cut away... yes, the 73 minutes is principally flesh, blood, bone, and the madmen tearing it to pieces... It is an unrelenting celebration of OTT gore/violence intended for those desiring wall to wall hellish blood lusting mayhem...and the incredible rendering of the visuals viewed through ACTUAL Super 8 film are incomparable, as well as the hyper definition of VHS... all F/X work done by this team will set new standards for what Hard gore in films need to rise to... and the sustained hopeless atmosphere and grim minimalist score contribute greatly to the sense of total inescapable darkness...
