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

Wow! Such a good movie.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

As has been stated in pretty much every review for this movie it is vile, disgusting, disturbing... I didn't even want to watch it actually, but I forced myself through it. Just so I could get it out of my queue. I have a huge backlog of horror movies that I want to watch and alphabetically this one was first... First of all there is no plot whatsoever in this movie. Thank god! I loathe to think that If they actually went through the trouble of giving the victims some personality where you might have felt sorry for them. As it was I don't even recall knowing their names until the very end.Anyway since this movie is basically all about the special effects and I am really not an expert on them, I am just a viewer. I thought the limbs being sawed through on the first victim looked pretty good. I'm more of a tool guy so I believe the saws he used would not have sawed through bone very well. When he cut the eyeball I was totally sick to my stomach because eyeball gore always gets to me. Although I really don't think an eyeball would ooze a clear liquid. Also not that I would want the movie to be any worse, but I think the paralysis drug and LSD to make them total vegetables through the whole movie was kind of lame. It's basically an autopsy on a living person, but they might as well be dead... I don't know. If the girls got to scream, beg for their lives, or you know act a little bit this movie would have been infinitely more disturbing.As for the second victim, I wasn't very impressed by her being skinned. I don't know for sure, but I would imagine skin doesn't just peel off like a banana peel. The second victim also just seemed very rushed to me... Not that I wanted this movie to be any longer...One final observation... I was kind of amused at the one guy with the resistance mask constantly berating the bull headed masked guy. "Start on the left, always on the left." During the clothing removal. Then once the torture begins this was all tossed out of the window as he always seemed to begin on the right...I would have given this movie 3 stars if a cop came in at the end and shot all three of these guys in the head and then proceeded to vomit in the corner after viewing the horrible scene. Nope this movie gives you one minute of a baby crying instead as if the movie really needed to be any more disturbing...

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 have been one of the lucky one's to get a chance to view this film. Everything about this film is Superior, The acting is above average, Than your basic underground horror. The editing, score and texture of the film is superb. The entire cast gels like one giant mold as they all feed off themselves. I must say what I witnessed was a gore-hound's wet dream and the camera NEVER shy's away from what you are witnessing. I could not believe what I was watching. Mr. Biro's debut comes as nothing short as brilliant as the FX Work from the Master, Marcus (Rot, 100 Tears)Koch is top notch. It Is without a doubt his best work in my opinion. With the collaboration of Biro, Vanbebber, Koch, Screamerclauz and Day, is total Psychotic mayhem. I had the chance to sit and chat with FX guru Marcus Koch, and asked him a simple question? I asked if he thought this was his best work? He replied Hell no. So modest he is. This is without a doubt the best FX work ever in modern horror. The films best highlight In my opinion is the score and sound effects that I can still hear and feel at this very writing will haunt you for years to come. You will be telling yourself It's only a movie! It's only a movie! American Guinea Pig gets a 10/10

I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek of this film at a festival back in October. I have seen the Japanese Guinea Pig films, so I knew what to expect. This is a film about absolute destruction of the human body. It's one for people who are into hardcore gore only. The film was shot on super 8, so it has a real gritty feel from start to finish. The premise is horrible - 2 woman are abducted, strapped down, and given liquid LSD while men wearing masks dismember them slowly, filming the entire gruesome process. I couldn't help but think about what it would be like to have a head full of acid while being slowly hacked apart. The special effects are INSANE!!! I've honestly never seen anything so horrifically real in a horror film before. The pace is slow and unrelenting. And at the end, when you think that the horror is over.....nope. The ending pushes things over a line that is too horrific for many to even consider. Well done to everyone involved in the making of this film!!! The standard for gore and practical effects has been reset!
