When people talk about the infamous "Guinea Pig" series, this is the one they are really talking about. This is the one that inspired serial killer Miyazaki Tsutomu, who performed its rituals on real victims instead of with special effects. This is the one that Charlie Sheen mistook for a real snuff film and reported it to the FBI who investigated its director. This is the one of myth and legend.

"Flower of Flesh and Blood" is directed by famous Japanese horror-manga artist Hino Hideshi, he of the Hino Horror series which have been adapted into films such as Boy from Hell and Ravaged House. He claims that this is a recreation of an actual snuff film sent to him by a fan, but Hino is well-known to stretch the truth when he feels like it. Or just to lie, so I wouldn't take him too seriously.

There is no story, and this is basically just an exercise in special effects. A man dressed in a samurai costume slowly dissects a drugged woman over the course of 42 minutes, slicing her here and there and taking off the pieces to create his final "flower of flesh and blood". For gore fans, this is as good as it gets, just pure craftsmanship with a special effects artist demonstrating some quality work and no annoying plot getting in the way. People will be quick to point out how "fake" it is, but that is probably just bravado more than anything else. This is really well done.

This DVD also includes the "Making of..." feature that the producer and director put together in order to prove that they hadn't actually killed anyone. It does take away a bit of the magic and legend, but is a nice feature in and of itself and is probably more interesting to watch story-wise than the main feature itself.

Is "Flower of Flesh and Blood" a good film? Not really. Not for casual viewers. But for gore-horror fans, this is required viewing to see just how far someone can go. And if the creepiness of knowing it is all smoke and mirrors takes some of the fun out of it for you, you can just remember that all of this DID take place for real, in Miyazaki Tsutomu's apartment, even though he was inspired by the film rather than the other way around.
