The original Guinea Pig series from the 80's were more shocking than the American series. They are similar in many ways with hardly no dialogue and over the top gore. I have seen several reviewers compare it with or to Human Centipede 2 maybe for the fact it's black and white. The difference I feel is Centipede 2 could not have been made in color the special FX were too good. This films FX are sub par. With that said I did enjoy it somewhat for what it is. I just can't for the life of me tell you what it was. Some enjoyed the score I found it annoying and tedious. The film overall made no sense and perhaps that's what makes it watchable.

I couldn't go to sleep yesterday so put on this movie to help me do so. It was quite enjoyable! I loved the music and how it complemented the b&w medical aestheticic. It was like a gory lullaby. However I have a couple of issues with the film: 1- The audio. You can't hear what the characters are saying. 2- The staff was killed off too easily. 3- The 'patient' doesn't give that much of a reaction to some of the rather painful 'pedicures' yet he was screaming and twitching when the doctor ran some spurs over his back. Really? The back isn't even a sensitive area. Maybe if he ran them over his balls that would've been more convincing. And fun too.

This is black and white gore porn. At least "Centipede 2" made sense. This one has no rhyme or reason. Being as it is black and white the gore effect was lessened...well the last 15 minutes has color if you make it that far. Our main character is in a cell and gets "experimented" on i.e. cut out his tongue, beat his knee with a hammer etc. (No power tools) . I initially suspected they are supposed to be making a snuff film, but even at that, it wasn't entertaining. He communicates with the person in another cell by passing notes.There is about 30 seconds at the end that ties this film together...sort of.Bloody sex and nudity that I don't wish to see again. A film you can watch and burn to prevent others from seeing it. I like "Blood Sucking Freaks" and had a fondness for "Centipede 2." This one I didn't like any scene at all.

'Bloodshock' is nightmarish, tender, perfectly paced and very intense. It's not derivative at all but it did, in some ways, remind me of 'Eraserhead' and 'Le Chien Andalou'. Having seen both AGP films in a row I've noticed that they absolutely excel at sound mixing ('Bloodshock' even uses some delicate piano notes to chilling effect) and the use of textured film-stock. I was utterly gripped for the entire 90 minutes and the tension (and weirdness) built up beautifully. 'Bloodshock' is a film that I expect to be recommending to people for a long time to come - it's definitely my favourite horror film on 2016, so far. Marcus Koch (the special effects guru behind 'Bouquet of Guts and Gore') proves that he is a brilliant and visionary director. I don't want to give anything away, so I won't say anything about what actually happens in the film...but you need to see it!
