I've got the 'Flower of Flesh and Blood/ Making of Guinea Pig' DVD. If you're looking for an actual horror movie with plot and tons of chills, this is NOT it. It's all pretty mininmal at best. However, I got it to see the "supposedly" amazing gore effects. I was not disappointed. The scene where the 'samurai' saws off the girls left hand and then the fingers close still makes me cringe (I have a thing about wrists for reasons unknown). The effects are bar none top notch. 'The Making of...' is fantastic for any of us indie filmakers or FX enthusiasts since they give a whole run down on how to do this, that and the other thing. Fascinating stuff. If you have ever seen the Tom Savini 'Scream Greats' video in the early 80s, you will be blown away by how advanced the "art" has become since then. The most scary thing of all about it, I was able to get it on Amazon.com LOL
