What makes it different from others?

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

The Guinea Pig box, so much is said about it. When the first entry came out it was immediately a hot thing, some popular Hollywood thespians called the cops by telling them they just watched a real snuff movie and in those days it was to be believed that this was a real snuff flick. Today we do know better as with the Faces Of Death we all know that it was mostly faked.The way this flick was made do add towards the feeling that you are watching a snuff movie. No opening or ending credits, no professional editing and no real directing to notice. Not only that, shot with a grainy look and no extra lighting gave people back then the creeps. To be honest, people nowadays not aware of the horror genre and seeing this flick will indeed be shocked. It's strange because there's no real horror (except at the end) or gore or even blood to spot but it's the way the torturing takes place and is done that makes it not watchable for the faint- hearted. But for today standards it all looks a bit low on everything. The kicking and slabbing may look cruel but it's toward the end that you will ask yourself, which girl is crazy enough to do such things. Animal intestines being thrown over your face? Maggots all over your body? But at the end some will be really shocked but having seen Tampon Tango Genki-Genki and MASD-004 this flick is laughable but again, people not used in the Japanese extreme genre still avoid this at all costs.

you know I suppose I get this movie. its just meant to emulate a real snuff film and come across as authentic as possible. I guess for that reason alone the movie would score somewhat high. however there are parts of it that fail. The actress really didn't seem to be getting tortured in some scenes. You know shes getting beaten and slapped yet she just takes it. Never does she fight back or resist and never does she question what is going on. This made it seem fake. Also the kicking scene they clearly were not hitting her. The infamous scene of the needle through the eye was the absolute most effective effect and I have no idea how they pulled it off. had they not waited till the end to do this It would have made the movie feel more real, which is the only reason to watch this movie, to feel what a real snuff film would feel like without actually seeing a real murder. There is no plot, barely any dialogue and zero entertainment value. This is a group of guys standing around a room torturing a girl for reasons unknown. You'll get what you pay for.

The first in the series of ultra-gory movies from Japan, Guinea Pig: Devil's Experiment is a nasty little pseudo-snuff film that lovingly documents the torture of a woman.Each of the steps in her ordeal are titled: Hit (she is slapped repeatedly, and then hit across the face with a bag full of coins); Kick (she is pushed to the ground and kicked); Claw (pliers are used to pinch her skin); Unconscious (the woman is spun in a chair and forced to drink whisky until she is sick); A sound (she is made to listen to a terrible noise for hours on end until she is a dribbling wreck); Skin (fingernail removal via pliers); Burn (hot oil is poured onto the victim's arm); Worm (maggots are applied to the wounds).Then, in a section which lacked an English translation on my copy, the torturers chuck offal at the girl, slice open her hand with a scalpel before smashing it with a hammer, and finish off with the old 'needle through the eye' gag.To be honest, Hit through to Worm is fairly lame stuff. Sure, it is nasty in tone, but it could've been thrown together by any group of morally retarded film students (myself included). 'Unconscious' looks like your average teenage drinking game (I'm sure I played that one during my college days), whilst 'A Sound' is nothing shocking: I've had to listen to my workmate Phil's ipod for 9 hours solid—now that is torture!For fans of gore, it is only the final few minutes that will be of interest. The hand slicing and smashing is VERY realistic, as is the puncturing of the eyeball. It's easy to see how, in this film's early days of being circulated on VHS, it was often mistaken for the real thing.Devil's Experiment is certainly an interesting film if you're studying the history of the underground horror scene, but as far as entertainment goes, it's actually quite dull. I rate this film as average, giving it a 'middling' score of 5/10.

This movie is the first of the six infamous Guinea Pig Movies and is one of the best. At the same time, it looks realistic and unrealistic, just knowing that the movie is fake. The story is about a woman who got captured and is tortured in a lot of different ways. A man in the beginning of the story receives a letter without a return address, and it includes a manga video, showing the torture. The men who capture her are testing the limits of a human before they die. Some scenes are shocking, such as the eyeball scene and others are not shocking like the girl being punched 100 times, because you see punches in nearly every movie. This movie has a lot of gore so I would recommend this to people 17 or older.9/10
