I was very curious Bloodshock, simply said it's about a man who's locked up in a white room. And every few minutes he gets tortured in all kinds of creative ways, the first half hour was decent but nothing too shocking unless you've never seen the harder stuff. It starts to get interesting after 40 minutes, i thought that for most of the time it was just pure torture for the sake of torture and nothing else, but oke there's a little subplot about another prisoner of which i won't spoil anything. In my opinion the movie was just oke because i expected it to be just as extreme and nauseating as Stephen Biro's Bouquet of Guts and Gore , it never reaches the same level of gore. But Bloodshock does deliver at some moments, especialy near the end. My final point of criticism is that i personally would've rather seen the movie in color, but to each his own. If you like blood and gore just add it to your collection.
This film was obviously based on the 2009 Horror Exploitation Classic Grotseque. It's literally the same exact princip. However, this movie is overly repetitive and slow. The end scene was the sickest scene dye to it being only colorized, and we see our two victims, having a sexual intercourse, and bite their own wounds, getting into a pool of blood. That was really nasty, everything else dye to being black and white, was kinda boring and dull.
The film was supposed to be a shocker, it was more a creepy movie instead of being really shocking, except the ending, the ending was really dark.

How do you review a film like this? Well, imagine being a hospital patient with "locked in syndrome." This is an illness where, due to a very specific type of stroke, the sufferer finds themself trapped in a body that, while completly devoid of voluntary muscle control, can feel every indignity of a normal person. So imagine that a fly lands on your nose. You are unable to swish it away, but you can feel every little itchy leg as it dances on your shnozz. You cannot ask for help, because you cannot move any of your voluntary muscles including those which control speech.
OK, you get where I'm coming from. Now imagine you took an enourmous painful diarrhea defecation, and had to just sit in it for an hour and a half before your wet-nurse came in to change your adult diaper. That is comparable to what its like to sit through this film. To paraphrase Christopher Walkin, "That isn't any kind of fun. But in terms of what this movie has to offer, that's as good as it's gonna get. And it wont ever get that good again." However, if you wish to ignore my heartfelt advice, and soil your mind with this load of visual fertilizer, the smell of which, will stay with you for a long time, you can watch it free on YouTube at a channel called Kings of Horror.
But don't say you havent been warned!

A man and a woman are put under extreme experiments so that natural morphine and adrenaline are created in their blood. The doctor draws out the blood at the right time. He then injects that blood into his own blood stream for some sort of wicked high. Weird.
This wasn't like a Guinea Pig movie at all. It's supposed to be the sequel to American Guinea Pig: Bouquet of Guts And Gore (2014) which was a nasty slice of film. This was the one where they used bolt cutters to get through the rib cage. Bloodshock however doesn't even compare. There is a couple of cringing moments but mostly boring believe it or not. This is shot in black and white which doesn't help the cause for this film. It does work for the director who wanted the end to be in colour showing the two patients ripping out each others stitches and playing in each others wounds. For an ultra violent black and white done right watch Infidus (2015).
This one just seemed too tame and puts you to sleep. Hopefully their next outing will be better.
In one scene the woman's chest cavity is opened a good ten inches exposing everything and you see the heart beating. I wondered what he was going to do to keep things from getting infected and suddenly the doctor bends over and licks all inside of the chest cavity. Problem solved.

The original Guinea Pig series from the 80's were more shocking than the American series. They are similar in many ways with hardly no dialogue and over the top gore. I have seen several reviewers compare it with or to Human Centipede 2 maybe for the fact it's black and white. The difference I feel is Centipede 2 could not have been made in color the special FX were too good. This films FX are sub par. With that said I did enjoy it somewhat for what it is. I just can't for the life of me tell you what it was. Some enjoyed the score I found it annoying and tedious. The film overall made no sense and perhaps that's what makes it watchable.
