Ginî piggu 2: Chiniku no hana


















http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0161635/
a.k.a. Guinea Pig: Flowers of Flesh and Blood or
Slow Death: The Dismemberment

The director/screenwriter Hideshi Hino has, according to the legend, recieved this videotape from Tsutomu Miyazaki about his crimes as a tribute to the first Ginî piggu.
For a few years the rumours was that all this was true, that this was (some people actually still claim it to be the real and The only existing) Snuff movie.

Following up the first masterpiece(?) there had to come a sequal in some way. So it did and is this a bloody and disturbing sequal or what.
Some find it to much over the top (as you know japanese gore movies can be in some point) and a bit funny.
Sure the infamous Ginî piggu series/movies became more and more about humor and outrageus gore/splatter scenes.

The movie starts, as much as the legend itself, that a copy of a snuff movie, pictures and a letter has been sent to the police in Tokyo - Japan - about an unspeakable crime so horrific that it had to be…real?

Sneaking on a soon to become victim













An woman, who ain´t given any name, is being kidnapped and drugged late one night. She wakes up, tied and gagged in a bed, the walls are covered in blood and a madman stands on the foot of the bed - sharpening his tools..

If you by some strange reason can´t tell what this movie is about after watching the cover, you may ask yourself if you are blind.
Ginî piggu 2 is a bloody violent and in some way a poethic little flick. The madman, dressed as a butcher, with a samurai helmet on his head speaks calmly and lustfully about what he is about to do and I can tell you that he´s gonna use every tool he has.
There will not be that much left of this poor young woman.

The whole woman, before the decaputation













What separate this from the original is not only the gore and blood, it is also that they added some short music/noice score in some scenes. An that takes away, in my opinion, some of the horrific things that are about to be displayd on screen.

I don´t know if this is a movie worth watching, but if you have or want to get the first Ginî piggu then by all means get this one also. After all it is a landmark in the wicked gore and horror genre. A genre wich may not have been matched ever since this movie.

Various sorches say that all the Guinea pigs have been banned/confiscated in Japan and others say that the movies can be found next to disney and random family movies at the local rental stores.

The woman is at present in a state of ecstasy from an injection of drugs.
She feels no pain at all, as you see.
Not only does she feel no pain but the feeling is rather pleasurable.
