GUINEA PIG sure sorts out the men from the boys, don't it?
UNABRIDGED AGONY (DEVIL'S EXPERIMENT) is probably more disturbing than THE FLOWER, THE FLESH & THE BLOOD with its mock-snuff stance - pelting a woman with bits of rotten flesh?
FLOWER is definately worth seeing for its fantastic prosthetic/makeup work - only thing letting the overall experience down and the viewer off the hook are the crunchy, squelchy OTT sound effects that accompany all the sawing and slicing.
(And a blatantly false chicken - director Hideshi Hino wisely insisted the animal should not be harmed)
As one observer noted, "...the effects are good - TOO good; they left my stomach feeling like a broken Slinky"...
