Lame, don't believe the hype.........2007-06-21

I suppose if you were told this was real, and didn't have an "eye" (what a pun, eh?) for special effects.. you might see this and feel sick. But, come on.. where do I start on how fake this is? I know, I know, the whole story about the producer doing this as a remake of what he originally saw. If that's true, then I'd say the original is probably pretty sick and twisted.

But I'm talking about effects here that give it away.

For one thing, the blood. I grew up with chronic nose bleeds. I used to wake up in the middle of the night and find my pillow soaked in my own blood. So I know what blood looks like, both when fresh and after five minutes of drying time. It doesn't look like raspberry sno-kone syrup like in this flick. After more than five minutes it starts turning brown. By the end of this flick it would have coagulated into strands and looked almost black in many areas.

Another thing.. the cut-away edits that conveniently happen just before any real cutting occurs. Like the decapitation scene. Speaking of which, since when does decapitation cause a head to go flying like a basketball into a wall five feet away?

And then the whole eyeball thing. I once stayed up until 1a.m. removing an eyeball from a sheep that got hit by a car. I know from experience, it takes a hell of a long time to remove an eyeball without damaging it. The eyes in the jar were from a sheep, the one he pulls from the latex head was manufactured.

Then the disembowelment thing. Drugs or no drugs, without turniquettes she'd have bled off and died long before wincing while her leg was being sawed. But back to the guts.. do you know how much distance there is between even the upper-G.I. tract and the throat? You have to pass the stomache and go up the esophagus, then past the throat. YET.. here he is playing with intestines and she starts leaking pure, red blood out of her mouth for no damn reason other than dramatic effect.

Lame, lame, lame. Unless you come across it for free online (like I did), don't waste your money on this over-hyped flick. I'm not saying pulling off this finished product was easy. This guy had some talented people working with him to design these latex parts, pumps and the custom bed that allowed her real head to show while hiding her body.

One last minor detail.. the worms at the end of the flick in his 'collection' of body parts. If you watch the maggots, only in one scene are they actually feeding on an old piece of meat. The rest of the time they're traveling around looking for something besides latex and red sugar water. Also, the earthworms.. earthworms don't come oozing out of a skull that's been sitting there for weeks in a tumbled pile (on cue) all slimy.

Save your money, what you've imagined in your head is probably ten times worse than what they produced on film.

Disappointing.......2007-03-16

The reviewer crowsomething pretty much summarized it well- the victim should have died much quicker and lost buckets of blood - it just oozed out. The body parts looked rubbery. Did I miss something but how did her head go flying against the wall? And what's with the maggots and earthworms. Wouldn't the body parts have to decompose for at least a few days and then flies would have to come and lay eggs? The killer was kind of weak and dopey, as well.

I watched the video on the internet, i would say definitely don't buy it.

Gore goldmine!.......2007-03-02

This movie is short and sweet with some of the best special effects I've ever seen.The Japanese build a replica of a human body and dismantle it before your eyes. The special effects are so amazing you can actually see each pore in the skin.They obviously spent a lot of time on the effects and thats about all they spent time on. No story, no character development, just a home video made to look like a snuff movie. This is the one movie that actually turned my stomach a little bit. Go buy it now, if you think you can handle it.

If You've got a Stomach of Steel and Forty Minutes; Have I got a Movie for you........2007-01-29

If there's anything to take from this film (anyting at all)
it's perspective.
Take for instance, any given horror scene you've loved;
Because it's only on screen for a few seconds, it's enjoyable.
Now take that same cherished scene and slowly stretch it out for 40 minutes. That about sums up this gorefest.

With that being said, I had to watch this flick on the subway, on my way home from work. (Unfortunately, that's where I have to watch all the movies my wife refuses to watch with me.)
Now I couldn't hear the comments from my fellow commuters, but I could certainly see the horrified looks on their faces as the movie ran its course. And all those dropped jaws said "This guy is one sick puppy"
More than a few of them stood up and abandoned their seats.
Now if you know anything about City Subways, you know people wouldn't give up their seats, even if their pants were on fire.
At any rate, that anecdote should serve as a general idea of just how depraved this simulated snuff film is.

There's no plot, so don't expect one. (A guy in a samurai hat takes his sweet time cutting up some poor, unfortunate, Japanese chick; before adding her parts to his collection)
Instead; expect a torturous mutilation for about 40 minutes.
The mutilation itself wouldn't have been so unnerving, had it not been done at such a casual pace. The "Psycho Samurai" (as I've come to know him) takes his time doing everything.
From selecting his instruments of torture, to making his cuts, he's a man of leisure, a man whose got time on his hands.
All the while, he's talking philosophy, (like he's not some kabuki theatere reject in white face paint, and a black samurai hat, preaching in an abandoned warehouse basement)
I've got to say though, the scene where I actually had to pause the film for a breath of air, involved a hammer, a wedge, and a shoulder.
Now I don't know about you, but something about the sound of metal on bone makes me lose my cookies.
I must admit, the special effects were amazing.
The director definitely owned a genuine snuff film at one time or another. Because he is spot-on.

This film is a testament to depravity.
It's sole design is to freak you out and make you sick.
and to that end: Mission Accomplished. 5 Stars.
A fine addition to any gorehounds library.
Or any horror fan, for that matter, who thinks they have an iron-clad stomach. But be fore-warned this is the litmus test by which all other gross-out movies will be compared. This is the epitome of "gorefest".
(It's especially fun to freak company out with this little gem.)
Watch at you own risk. You've been warned.

MORAL OF THE STORY:
Sticks and Stones may break your bones,
but The Psycho Samurai prefers lille fun-size pieces.

"And now, her bowels start dancing wildly.".......2006-06-13

INTRODUCTION: When Guinea Pig came out in 1985, It was a huge straight to video hit in japan. There were 6 films and in 1991, Charlie Sheen saw Guinea Pig and reported it to the FBI, claiming it was a snuff film. THe FBI were informed that there was no snuff footage. in 2001, GP comes out on DVD.,

I had recently just rented this one (and Devil Doctor Woman) from a Japanese video store. And I loved it! I loved HE NEVER DIES, so I knew I was going to love this one.

STORY: A man captures a woman in the middle of the night. Later on, the woman wakes up in a blood splattered dungeon run by a a man dressed as a samurai with a white face. Slowly, this man dismembers and disbowels the woman to add to his collection.

THOUGHTS: An excellent splatter horror film. Just to let you know, there is a disclaimer at the beginning at the film saying that no one under the age of 15 should see it.

OVERALL: Go rent this movie!

Description

An infamous manga artist received an unmarked parcel in the mail. In this mysterious package was one 8mm film, 54 still pictures and a 19 page letter. The letter told the artist that a horrible crime was committed by a person of aesthetic paranoia in a very secret place. The 8mm film shows a horrifying descent into pure madness as a psychotic slowly dismembers a defenseless woman and then adds her to his collection. The artist quickly turned the film, stills and the letter over to the police for investigation. Haunted by the images he witnessed, he decided to make a semi-documentary based on what he saw. Thus begins Flower of Flesh and Blood. A behind the scenes look at the effects behind the madness that is Guinea Pig. From the Devil's Experiment to He Never Dies, you will witness all the love and joy that goes into the making of one of the most infamous series in history.

OVER RATED GARBAGE!.......2007-03-13

I bought this thinking "oh no! Am I going to be able to handle this?
I mean this is the movie that is suppose to be worse as far as violence
than SALO-MEN BEHIND THE SUN-HENRY PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER and let's
not forget the crem dela crem CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST,well let me tell you
this is CAH AH RAP! I own a lot of crap too,some I even enjoy but this
is nothing to say the least. All it is is a demented guy in a samurai
outfit slowly dismembering a girl(who sometimes blinks I might add
when he goes to cut the other parts of her body very annoying)in
the end he puts her severed parts in his so called garden(hence
the name). To think not only did I shell out some hard earn cash
$32.87(it breaks the heart) I was even doing a little happy dance
waiting in line to purchase this,this fiasco. So whoever you are
save your money,and to think Charlie Sheen freaked out when he
saw this,hey Chuckie boy stay away from Henry and Cannibal or
you will be crying "MAMA-MAMA" you wienie head you got me all
worked up for this-this-FIASCO.

Not very realistic, but very gorey........2006-06-19

Charlie Sheen must have been seriously wasted when he saw this and thought it was a real snuff flick. In the movie, the mad killer cuts a chicks hands off, then her arms, then her legs, then eviscerates her, and she's still alive when he finally decapitates her. Come on, once you sever one of the major arteries, you bleed out in like under a minute. Though this movie is obviously not very realistic and the gore occasionally looks a little fake, it's still hard to watch and will satisfy almost any gorehound's bloodlust.
