ridiculous rating

Just so...so bad

I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Sure the movie is boring as p.i.s.s, and the dismemberment gets cookie-cutter over time (pun intended), but the movie had me watching the FX gore closely to see the goods. It reminded me of the good 'ole 80's, and when I assisted with two college horror films.SPOILERS BELOW: This movie is essentially nothing more than an FX demo reel, and its not too bad. I was impressed with the body casts for the legs and arms, and I know it took some serious time to fill up the torso with guts just to yank them out. Making sure the skin peels worked HAD to have taken some time.The FX cuts loose (pun intended) in a downhill manner when they start doing the sawing and chop-chop on one chick's face. The bad editing for the bad head disfigurement made me want to bang my head to keep from chuckling.Is it shocking? Give me a break. Download some recent videos from the ISIS/ISIL loons if you want shocking. This is pure gore FX entertainment the family can enjoy, and while watching, you can let little Timmy or Clarice know that they're going to "give an arm and a leg" if needed to clean their room.

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...

What an amazing movie! Sure theirs no story or any of the characters fighting back, but who says movies NEED those? This was amazing, especially for the special effects. One could think this is real.Since I've seen the Guinea Pig Series, I was happy to see a remake of it, and I was still impressed after watching it! It keeps the cringing, the gore, but there are some changes, as there more people recording and doing the job. But that really doesn't matter.Fake snuff films I have seen, and I do enjoy them because it just comes to show to realistic we can make movies look. A good example to use is August Underground and this film of course.For those who liked Guinea Pig, but think this is going to ruin it, trust me, the movie is worth it. As said before, it still holds everything the original had. The only thing that was the most sickening was the ending, in my opinion.When I saw there's going to be more movies of American Guinea Pig, my mind ran wild wondering what might be next.Could it be another remake from another Guinea Pig film, or will it be something completely different? We'll just have to wait.....

I was fortunate enough to have a chance at reviewing this film. I sat in a dark room eagerly awaiting the brutality to begin. It was delivered in spades. This is a cold and heartless work of seething hatred. Two victims are utterly destroyed in gruesome detail. "Graphic gore" just isn't enough to describe it. The masterful FX work by Marcus Koch is perfectly captured with vintage equipment via James VanBebber. For a first time director, Stephen Biro brings the pain. Its a feast of agony and suffering. I hope you're hungry. If you are into the original GP series, you'll be right at home viewing this one. If you are a sick and twisted fiend for gore, do yourself a favor and watch this as soon as possible. If you are curious bystander, just know what you're getting into.
