It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Brennan Camacho
Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Fulke
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Cheryl
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

This is the third "Guinea Pig" movie and if you read this review, you have probably already seen the first two films. Still, this one is a bit different. There is no real sexual component in there. In films 1 and 2, the protagonists were aroused for what they did to helpless girls and so were some people watching these perhaps. However, it's finally about equality here. A man tries to commit suicide after his girlfriend left him for another man. However, it's not working out as he realizes he is immortal. So what does he do. He invites the guy who took his girl from him and gives him the shock of a lifetime when he starts ripping out his organs with the other guy watching. This may sound pretty cruel, but there is definitely a comedic aspect to this movie, something the first two films also lacked. If that is a good thing, you have to decide for yourself. There was something unique though to the ending when he only has his head left for him and everything was torn apart and he was still laughing and going completely nuts. This film really does not have any great production values, but it could turn out as a guilty pleasure. It was made almost 30 years ago already and runs for roughly 40 minutes. The only somewhat interesting factor that was not comedy was for me the question of guilt in this one. Is the main character guilty of anything? He actually did try to commit suicide so he won't cause any harm to others. But he was not allowed to. Does that make him guilty of what he does to the other man. Then there is of course the argument of insanity and the mitigating factors that the other guy took his girl from him and that he also committed fraud at the office where he works. In any case, this should not be taken as a serious drama. the only way to somewhat enjoy it is as a comedy slasher film. There is certainly something ironic to the ending with the talking head lying around and all the girl can think of is how she has to clean the place from all the blood and guts. Neither the lead actor nor the director of this film have worked on many other projects in the past and maybe that's a good thing. All in all, it's not a good movie and I cannot recommend it.

This is the third film out of the Guinea Pig series. Like the two previous films this film focuses on blood and gore with the hopes of disgusting its viewers. But unlike the first two this film takes the practice of presenting vile imagery in a new approach... A humorous one.The film is supposed to be a reenactment of an event that actually took place. Supposedly a man was found dead in his apartment. The scene looked so horrific, as his body was badly mutilated and it appeared as though the remains had been played with. But after further investigation no fingerprints, other than the victims, were found at the scene of the crime, and all the injuries were angled as though the victim did it with his own hands...This is the first splatter comedy to come out of the Guinea Pig series, and is a real joy ride. The film is very over the top, and I recommend it to any gorehounds out there.

This third installment in the Guinea Pig cycle prostitutes its way to wider acceptability with humor.Trouble is, the humor is so juvenile it's tedious.A salaryman decides to off himself. He cuts off his own hand, rips out his innards and saws through his throat with a long knife.Unfortunately (for him), these gory acts don't kill him...they only make him stronger and more determined to find other ways of suiciding.Considering the fact that these productions are shot on video (which is a very harsh, unforgiving medium), the special make-up effects are pretty amazing. If they had been filmed and lit more low key, they'd be almost perfect.HE NEVER DIES becomes even sillier when our hero's best buddy and girlfriend turn up.Definitely miles removed from the mean-spirited hijinks of the previous two installments, this is mildly amusing if you shuttle from gore scene to gore scene.Still, you have to admire the Japanese for their balls in producing material like this.

This absolutely hilarious (seriously!) gore flick documents the life of a bored businessman who just broke up with his sexy girlfriend. One evening in a fit of restlessness and depression he slits his wrists, only to find himself healthy again within minutes. He soon discovers that he will never die no matter what kind of mutilation and desecration he inflicts upon himself. Knowing this, our hero exacts revenge on his ex's new beau by grossing the poor guy out, making him witness all kinds of disgusting self-abuse, including having internal organs thrown at him. The gore is unbelievably realistic and stomach-churning, but at the same time it's so extreme and over-the-top that you know it's supposed to be humorous as well as repulsive. Definitely the funniest entry in the GUINEA PIG series. Also, be sure to stick around for the credits.
