American Guinea Pig: Bouquet of Guts and Gore

Unbearable. A hell. Impossible not to cover your face. And the author goes and dedicates it to his mother.

Guinea Pig is one of my favorite underground horror franchises. So, naturally I was excited to watch Bouquet of Guts and Gore. And, I couldn't help but be disappointed. It offers not much more than shock value and gore

Guinea Pig: Flower of Flesh and Blood (the film out of the franchise this tries to recreate) had an artistic beauty to it thanks to horror manga legend Hideshi Hino. It showed the beauty of human life while also showing the horrors one is capable of. It's a gut wrenching, spine tingling, beautiful yet sickening art piece. This one, on the other hand, loses all of that artistic value. And boils it down to nothing more than mindless, over the top, unbelievable gore.

The "dialogue" of which there is not much of, is just characters shouting "out of tape!" and "oh yeah that's it" over and over. And even then the actors still manage to make it feel weird. Making it feel just cringeworthy and annoying.

This film is nothing more than a shock piece that, if you are in the mood for, can be good. But if you are expecting a good art piece à la Guinea Pig, you have been warned.

Sure it's gory, but the special effects are really rather unrealistic and lack luster.

No story, no plot. What would this be.. a 10 page script?

This here people is called how to do a movie with the least amount of work possible.

If you want to see this crap there are ton's of real internet sites showing real people dying in worse ways.

This may of been "shocking" in the 80's... today it is just boring.

Do not waste your time or money with this junk.

And wow IMDb want's at least 10 lines for a review. There is not 10 lines of dialogue in this movie. Literally my review has more words than the entire film.

I can see what they were trying to do. It has some ok gore effects in places but some do look cheap and take you right out of the vibe.....also the guy with long hair is the worst actor I've suffered in a long time, terrible dialogue....which was totally unnecessary. He ruins most of the scenes with his pathetic pointless lines.

The opening scene was beyond amateurishly filmed, the girls can't even act 'walking'. I 5hought it was a joke at first....then the part in the car!? Hilariously bad and again ruins the atmosphere they were desperately trying to create.

It's not a patch on the original for style and the most disappointing part is that even with all the nastiness it still felt as if it was holding back, it could have been far dark kn feel and nastier. Then they totally pussy out right at the end when they bring out the baby and young boy....which turns out to be nothing.......what a let down. Now that would have been something to see. But chickens out.

An ok effort and fun watch only for a couple of nice gore effects but far from as great as the filmmakers seem to think it is in the low budget amateurish interview included as an extra...... self congratulatory back slapping nonsense.

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.
