Don't listen to the negative reviews

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

This is the first from a whole lot of "Guinea Pig"-short films. It was released in 1985 and I don't know if it's the most disturbing, but they're all in dimensions where there's really no "most" anymore at all. The story from this one can be summarized quickly: A couple guys abduct a girl (the guinea pig for their experiments), tie her up, humiliate her and torture her in every way you can possible imagine and a couple ways you can't even imagine. There's not much talk, just the occasional moaning from the victim in her white dress and girly shoes. The several segments of the film each receive a title like "burn" or "worm" which describes the method of torture about to be applied. It's hard to find any positive factors about this short film. The sudden cuts into the green with the birds singing were possibly the attempt by the director to create a bit of a contrast, but certainly weren't particularly well-executed. The only one I can think of is how the director succeeded in making it look so damn realistic and the final written words of the film certainly tricked many people into believing this was not fake, but a real documentary.This one is definitely not for the mild-mannered. So if you had too look away repeatedly during the last Tarantino movie, stay away. But if you like horror, gore, shock-and-awe, then check this one out. The only part I had to kinda look away was the eye sequence near the end. If you manage the same, you're pretty good I'd say. And if you really end up enjoying it, you got a full franchise ahead of you, in which most films are considerably longer than these 43 minutes.

This is quite easily the stupidest thing I've ever seen. I don't know how this has a reputation for being so horrible. The girl in the film is halfway smiling during most of the "torture," if you can call it that. I can't believe this was a serious attempt at horror.Oh no, they're spinning her in around in a chair! Oh, the humanity! She doesn't even make any noises for the last half of it. She's just sitting there as they pour a few maggots on a wound, and even when they shove a massive needle through her eyeball... not a peep.What was up with the sheep guts part? She screams as they lightly toss sheep organs onto her, but not a noise as they shove a needle through her eyeball. Seems pretty legit to me! I was expecting to see something that would haunt my dreams for weeks. Instead I'm laughing at how weak of an effort it is 10 minutes after watching.The second Guinea Pig (Flowers of Flesh and Blood) is 100 times more disturbing, but even that one isn't particularly awful. It took itself less seriously though, and even has a twisted kind of comic relief in the way the killer is wearing a samurai helmet, has a powdered white face, and fake half-rotten hillbilly teeth.There have been college dorm hazing rituals more awful than this lame film. If you want to laugh at something stupid, then sure give this film a try. Otherwise, just move along and find something else.

Well, how do you even rate a movie such as this one? Does it even have cinematic value really? It's a movie that tries to get as close to being a snuff movie as possible. Basically the entire movie is purely a bunch of guys torturing a young girl. Not very appealing and on top of that also not that realistic really.It's obvious that the movie tried to be as realistic and shocking as possible. However the movie is just all too fake for that to work out as intended. The slapping and stumping is all soft and fake looking, as well as sounding. They are often just kicking into the floor, rather than into the girl, obviously. Also the way the girl responds to all the torments is pretty tame. I mean if this was real, surely she would had screamed it out. There is more moaning than screaming in this one though.The movie is obviously low budget and it's a valor attempt at trying to achieve something shocking and realistic as well as original and provoking, with very limited resources. Don't really think this movie made much impact though at the time it got released, though it must had done something well, since a total of six sequels got released after this one.Fans of shock and gore will most likely be disappointed by this movie, though there are still some fetish people out there who will get a kick out of this movie.4/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

This movie is the first of the six infamous Guinea Pig Movies and is one of the best. At the same time, it looks realistic and unrealistic, just knowing that the movie is fake. The story is about a woman who got captured and is tortured in a lot of different ways. A man in the beginning of the story receives a letter without a return address, and it includes a manga video, showing the torture. The men who capture her are testing the limits of a human before they die. Some scenes are shocking, such as the eyeball scene and others are not shocking like the girl being punched 100 times, because you see punches in nearly every movie. This movie has a lot of gore so I would recommend this to people 17 or older.9/10
