Guinea Pig 2 - Flowers Of Flesh And Blood (1985)

My rating - 6/10

The most famous, or infamous of the Guinea Pig movies is this one!. Flowers Of Flesh And Blood is the one that American actor Charlie Sheen watched, thought it was real and reported it to the F.B.I. The fact there's a making of feature showing how they achived some of the gore effects, and it shows the actress and crew having a laugh during the filming which puts paid to the notion it's a real snuff film.

A girl is kidnapped, tied to a bed, given drugs to keep her alive and a guy in a samurai outfit spends the 40 mins runtime dismembering her bit by bit. That's it!.

As with The Devils Experiment this one is far more interesting when seen on a 4th or 5th gen VHS bootleg. The poor picture quality really did give this a different feel and some of it looked really convincing back in the day, but with the advent of DVD and the clear picture quality it loses most of it's impact today. For the low budget and the time it was made most of the effects are pretty good and it can still gross people out if they go into it blind.

I've always liked this one and would recommend it to those who like to see gore effects, also definitely watch the making of to this one, it's a lot of fun!.
