He does address the camera is some weird poetic ways speaking of blooming flowers and other nonsense. His teeth are half missing and decayed combined with his black moley face. Our killer is oddly white-faced pale man, wearing lipstick and some sort of ancient samurai hat.
Though I think the point was to engage the viewer more as voyeuristic eye on the process so we never really connect with any camera person on screen. We are always in the presence of the 2 actors, but of course we assume a third person who is doing the camera work. The title name of Flower, refers to the killer being a flourist, which to be honest I didnt really get the first time around. To allow for a slower procedure he heavily drugs the victim to the point of complete numbness and displacement.Īs far as reviews go, there really isn’t much here accept the description of what occurs. Now what follows is the slow torture and dismemberment of this young lady till complete dislocation of all her parts. The scene is set in some room in his lair where he keeps his tools and torture devices. It is a killer and his on screen torture session. Thank god its not real, but its certainly feels real! Flower of Flesh and Bloodto break it down starts with a stranger stalking for a victim, chasing down that victim and then bringing her back to his torture chamber. To clarify, the film is presented as a re-telling of a supposed video tape that was sent by an obsessed fan that captures and murders women on tape. If you really can avoid vieing it, then I advise doing so. Now before you read too far, I must instill a disclaimer that this film is only for viewers of cinematic experience…. Gross, disgusting, perverted stomach churning, and as close to a real snuff film as you’ll get….it must be a Guinea Pig film! This one is called Flower of Flesh and Blood. In fact, the actor playing the killer is the creator of the 1970s manga from which the story is derived. Most of this element of the story is cut out for the making of Guinea Pig due to the low budget and need of shock value. The snuff film rumour has been shown to be a contemporary legend the film was in fact based on a manga about a florist who kills women and uses their dismembered parts as the seed of his beautiful flower arrangements. In it, a man dressed as a samurai drugs a woman and proceeds to cut her apart, and finally adds her body parts to an extensive collection. The second video, Za ginipiggu 2: Chiniku no hana (1985) is said to be based on a snuff film sent to the director Hideshi Hino by a crazed fan.
