Guinea Pig: Ginî piggu - Akuma no jikken

I believe it's impossible to SPOIL this film, if you think different: don't read this comment!

Well, think of three men systematically torturing a women using many different methods (and both physical and psychical), their intention is all along to go on until she's dead, they what to see how long she lasts and what it takes. There is no (further) plot what so ever. Everything looks totally real and homemade. All this plus a subtle background sound creates a terrible atmosphere in addition to the horrific footage. (As I see there is about 0.5 seconds of questionable material, it involves a sledge hammer and a hand; I think the response from the hand might be unrealistic)

I thought I somewhat used to disturbing films since I watch Cannibal Holocaust, Scrapbook, Aftermath and alike with hardly no problems.

It's hard to rate this film, one should probably first ask oneself the question (like yamaelle does in a comment): am I already a psychopath to watch this? The important things about this film can probably be fully assimilated without watching it; the only thing you will miss is the (eventual) chock. This film will or have already gone to the history of film creation as the creators probably intended.

Is this art? Well, it's hard to tell.

Ah, the infamous "Guinea Pig" series...I honestly have to say that I've been disappointed as a whole by this entire series ("He Never Dies","Mermaid in a Manhole", and "Flower of Flesh and Blood" being the exceptions...and even those aren't great by any means...), but "Devil's Experiment" just plain blows. There is nothing realistic-looking going on here, other than the climactic (or perhaps anti-climactic, depending on how you view it) eyeball piercing scene. The victim appears to not really care what is going on and barely whines or whimpers while being subjected to "hideous" (more often sometimes "hilarious") tortures. "Flower of Flesh and Blood" is a more violent and gory depiction of fake "snuff" material, but that film also falls flat on the realism level. I applaud the Japanese for pushing the boundaries, and they've really come a long way over the past 2 decades to wear the crown in "extreme" film-making, but "Devil's Experiment" just doesn't hold up. Worth a look if you are a die-hard, if for no other reason than to see what the fuss is about, but I can only give this film an extremely generous 3/10 and that's only for the needle-through-the-eye scene...

C'mon people, you can't be serious, another case of advertising snuff when it totally isn't! This isn't even remotely scary nor is it terrifying or depraved - it is just utterly terrible amateurish videowork, made for the next party to get the girls laid.

The gore is incredibly bad, even the eye-scene is far from making me want to puke but just making me want to take the camera and hit those guys over the head. The girl is just laying there rubber-faced, not moving at all. It would have been funnier to use a real doll instead.

One season of "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!" is more frightening than this one. Don't waste your time or your money.

SNUFF, you say?! Well, we'd all like to think that these "films" are merely Urban Legends, but who's really to say for sure whether or not they actually exist in our world. And for purchase no less. Enter GUINEA PIG: THE DEVIL'S EXPERIMENT. This "movie", straight from Land of the Rising Sun, is a real eye-opener and gut-buster for sure. Plot, simple... kidnap a young Japanese girl, beat her, burn her, and mutilate the poor thing for over an hour. Now, before you start to call the authorities, let just say that the Special Edition of this film has a "Making Of" feature and we'll leave it at that. But this thing, most definitely, is for jaded HARDCORE viewers only. It weighs really heavy on you and with the small nuances of the film, like the fact that there's no opening or ending credits and that the "actors" in the film have their eyes blacked out with bars for the sake of authenticity, really lends a hand to the entire experience of this shocker for sure. After finishing this frightfully offensive movie, I remember thinking to myself... "What the HELL have I just seen here? I think I just saw something that I shouldn't!" Now I just know that sock full of nuts and bolts sure looked real when they smacked her across the face with it. Not to mention, the gutteral scream that she bellowed out when that scalding hot water hit her elbow with that fleshy exposed wound. Ehmmm... makes my knees go weak just thinking about it. Be careful. I'm warning you, BE CAREFUL with this one! I swear it! I've tried to warn you! DO NOT WATCH THIS FILM!!!

I thought I had seen it all, CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, SALO, MEN BEHIND THE SUN. Then I foolishly watched this. Why anyone could find this entertaining is beyond me. a girl is torcherad and killed, end of story. every one says this is faked you can clearly make a case for most of the special fx. except the one where she is killed that is , how do you explain it? a large pointed object is stuck trough the girls head and comes out through her eye. IF it is a effect it truly looks real If anyone knows how this was done PLEASE let me know, by e-mailing me on davelynch16@hotmail.com, and put my mind at rest. it has disturbed me since I watched it. Yours Faithfully DISTURBED.
