A beautifully exquisite bloody masterpiece
18 December 2014
The "Guinea Pig" films are an infamous rites of passage in the extreme underground horror community. Dating back to 1985 the 6 films (7 if you count the "best of") that makeup the Guinea Pig franchise were the types of films you would pick up on 7th, 8th, or worse generation VHS and feel like there was a chance you were watching something very real and VERY wrong. That is until 2005 when Stephen Biro and Unearthed Films brought the Japanese Guinea Pig films to the States on DVD and nothing has been the same since.

Now in 2014/2015 Stephen Biro brings forth his own vision by grabbing the franchise by the throat and offering up "American Guinea Pig: Bouquet of Guts and Gore". With a team that consists of a who's who in indie underground horror consisting of Director Biro, practical EFX wizard Marcus Koch (100 Tears), Cinematographer Jim Van Bebber (Manson Family) and Music by Jimmy Screamerclauz (Where The Dead Go To Die) you know before you ever press play to strap yourself in because you are about to take a very torturous journey into depravity.

Clocking in at 73 minutes the movie starts rather slow paced as we are introduced to our two victims played by Ashley Lynn Caputo, and Caitlyn Dailey who are quickly abducted and then introduced to the team who will become their sadistic butchers lead by newcomer actor Eight The Chosen One. Masked and armed with an arsenal or tools of destruction laid out on a table that will bring a rise to any gore fan the carnage that unfolds is relentless, savage, uncompromising, and steps through the total deconstruction of the human form. No body part is safe or spared; nothing can prepare your eyes or soul for what you want to turn away from watching but cannot. And with an ending that will leave you with your hands white knuckled the film finally somewhat lets you breathe.

Some viewers might not be able to look past the complete annihilation of the human bodies and see into the beautifully exquisite bloody masterpiece that is created. Once you witness American Guinea Pig: Bouquet of Guts and Gore you will never be able to unsee it, and that tiny part of your soul that the film takes with it as the credits role was your price of admission.
