BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

drazdik 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...

reubenclaridge-45-785823 This is it! This is what we've been waiting for. A pseudo snuff film that delivers on every single level. A truly unrelenting, gory trip that just keeps packing the punches for the entire 73 minute run-time, and leaves you awestruck even after the credits are done rolling. Back when I first heard that there was going to be an American re-boot of the classic 'Guinea Pig' series, I was immediately intrigued. There have been countless gore flicks produced over the years, and as a result of this, many fans have become jaded. Bouquet of Guts and Gore takes those films and rams them down your throat. This film has successfully brought a new lease of life to the gore genre, and will surely impress even the most hardcore of fans. The special effects featured are utterly mind-blowing. Oddtopsy F/X did an incredible job and the carnage looks totally genuine, a rare quality seen in 'gore' films. I found myself amazed by just how realistic they managed to make this look, and I loved it! I'm sure many people that watch this will question whether it's authentic, and that's exactly the response that effects of this quality deserve. Stephen Biro, king of 'Unearthed Films' has set the standard very high for any future fake snuff films, and it'll definitely be a real challenge for anyone to create anything to even a similar standard. For a debut film, they don't come better than this. The aesthetics are stunning, and the use of 'film' and 'vhs' gives it a great texture and raw sensation that was, at times reminiscent of the renowned classic 'Last House on Dead End Street'. The uneasy camera work also contributed endlessly to its gritty nature. I felt like I was watching an authentic snuff film, that had been found after years of being hidden away, and we all know that's not easily achieved. I also need to give due credit to the cast. Everyone nailed their roles, and I felt really attached to each and every one of them. Frank Pickarelli (aka Eig8t The Chosen One) stole the show as 'The Actor' though. He's destined to become a true horror icon and really deserves all the attention and praise he gets. When watching his performance, "I had to change my underwear"... he was just too good and perfectly suited to the role. This is a sick, twisted and amazing film, and I remained engrossed throughout. I also felt a great degree of anticipation to see what was to come next. I hate to admit it, but personally I wasn't actually disgusted by the film like I had expected to be. The film is depraved, there's no denying it, and I'm' sure the vast majority of viewers would struggle to stomach what is featured. But when watching, I saw more than just an attempt to sicken the viewer. There was so much more to it than just that, and without wanting to sound pretentious it was very artistic. I'm unsure whether it was intentional, but I actually found the film somewhat amusing at times (feel free to judge me), and that was largely due to the dialogue. In my eyes there was definitely a well proportioned element of black (and I mean very black) humour, that helped balance the flick perfectly.9/10 for being an immensely impressive film that has immediately become one of my most highly regarded flicks. I'm so excited to see the controversy this film will stir and I can't wait for the next AGP instalment: 'Bloodshock'.

abbycatt 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!

Ryan Vincent Logsdon American Guinea Pig: Bouquet of Guts and Gore ... an astonishing work of ultra violence and confrontational cinema. Three men record the vile deeds of their "Star" who systematically tortures and mutilates his costars while taking direction as well as improvising the depraved acts on display. Continuing the Guinea Pig legacy director Stephen Biro has added a worthy addition to the blood- soaked Japanese collection of movies in the series. Audience members were left speechless while viewing the incredible effects of gore master Marcus Koch with the occasional gasps heard following any of the various chaotic acts viewed. The cinematography was compelling and added much more to the overall dread felt watching this snuff film. The actors all seemed to not only understand what their characters are all about but they project their own senses of style and development throughout the piece. Rarely can one effectively recreate the revolting realities of a pseudo snuff film but the talent behind this movie not only matches the carnage that has come before it but adds to the belief that what you are watching actually has and can happen via the lens of madmen.
