TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Brightlyme i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

S_Craig_Zahler Deliberately paced vivisections are the meat of this nearly plot less gore exploration, which in quite a few ways tops the original Japanese Guinea Pig series whence it sprung. Although many will complain of the lack of dramatic content, this movie is a hideous spectacle that displays creativity in ways other than developing an interesting "plot" or "characters"...and these ways are for the most part exceedingly nasty. Some angles and films stocks and effects look more realistic than others, but most of the rough stuff plays pretty well or very well. It is no small achievement that after nearly an hour of carnage, Biro, Koch, Bebber, and company manage plumb the most disturbing depths in the final gore sequences and epilogue. Included are some quite memorable usages of needles, a crucifix, and branch clippers...

Travis Love Since the making of American Guinea Pig: Bouquet of Guts and Gore was announced there has been a frenzy of people clamoring to see this film, and after watching it for the first time is it warranted? Emphatically so. This film isn't just cinematic viewing, it's an exercise in personal thresholds of how much the viewer can actually stomach and still continue watching. The feel of this being grainy and gritty blurs the lines of believability causing you to question, "It's just a movie, this isn't real." but no matter how much you assure yourself, it has an uncanny ability to allow that little shred of doubt to seep in.The torture is cathartic, unbridled and animalistic, at no time do you feel what you're watching is anything other than an obligation to take a life deemed worthy of this "attention". Orders are barked from masked men filming, shouting orders like a circus trainer would an animal that without direction would lash out uncontrollably. The imagery you're privy to is nothing short of grotesque and demented, and the FX are so life like that you easily become sucked into the atrocities that unfold.This film firmly places it's foot down defiantly, it's claim is simple; "You will watch everything we have to show you, if you feel sickened, then you receive no sympathies. You have only yourself to blame.". Bouquet of Guts and Gore unapologetically captures your attention and holds it prisoner the entire duration of the film, and I for one can only show my gratitude to Stephen Biro and everyone involved for doing so.

Robert Emery I was fortunate enough to have a chance at reviewing this film. I sat in a dark room eagerly awaiting the brutality to begin. It was delivered in spades. This is a cold and heartless work of seething hatred. Two victims are utterly destroyed in gruesome detail. "Graphic gore" just isn't enough to describe it. The masterful FX work by Marcus Koch is perfectly captured with vintage equipment via James VanBebber. For a first time director, Stephen Biro brings the pain. Its a feast of agony and suffering. I hope you're hungry. If you are into the original GP series, you'll be right at home viewing this one. If you are a sick and twisted fiend for gore, do yourself a favor and watch this as soon as possible. If you are curious bystander, just know what you're getting into.

Farmer Vincent 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.
