American Guinea Pig: Bouquet of Guts and Gore

The title of this review says it all. Never in my life have I ever dealt with a person quite as unbearable as Stephen Biro and his less than poor quality film is a clear and direct reflection of that. Literally unwatchable.

Doesn't hold a candle to the original guinea pig series. A lot of the dialogue about "i'm out of film! Out of roll! Cut!" was kinda cringy. And a lot of the gore was over the top.

The scene that truly got me was the jaw scene. I don't know if it was the quality since they used the VHS camera or what but it got to me. I will be haunted by that.

Speaking of, the 70s roll camera doesn't really help. I see what they were going for, that kinda august underground or last house on dead end street feel but it just made me go "what's happening??"

It's an ok love letter to the original and I hope to see more honestly.

There are reviews here that go into detail about the plot, what little of it there is. I won't go into that here.

The effects are actually quite good! The total destruction of these victims is precisely what the doctor ordered for gore hounds. These dudes do some really messed up things to their victims. Like, REALLY messed up.

Honestly, the only reason to watch this is for the gore, and by all accounts this film DEFINITELY delivers. A CLEAR example of why practical effects will ALWAYS be better than CGI.

Forget about an actual plot though. It's paper thin. It's made of aerogel or something. LOL

The ending was INSANELY disturbing as I think about what it hints @. It honestly bothered me. A lot.

Which I guess was the point.

Considering everything that happened in the film beforehand, the ending is EXTREMELY disturbing. Probably the most disturbing part of the whole film.

Recommended for die-hard gore hounds ONLY.

Graphic? Sure, yep, it is. Not one for the family that is for sure, unless you want to freak your in laws out around Thanksgiving.

I give it a low score for the below average special effects, the disguising of the effects by it being shot in low quality (to give it the genuine feel I suppose, however in this day and age everyone has access to high quality recording, and it is actually a distraction, not to mention a cheap way to hide terrible effects.) and the ATROCIOUS acting.

Pro tip guys! I am not a medical professional, but I highly doubt any part of the human body with bones near by can be cut straight through like they are made of hot dogs. YouTube most likely has plenty of autopsy type videos, of which you should have watched first. This was like a kindergartners take on how easily a saw would cut through bones.

I don't believe that this movie is a strong legacy of the foreign Guinea Pig films. There isn't anything to this movie except killing two women slowly using poor practical effects. There is no characterization and I think the cinematography is poor.

We don't know anything about any of the characters. Its hard to watch the gore when there isn't a compelling story.
