If "The Devil's Experiment" has disturbed you, the second "Guinea Pig" "Flowers Of Flesh and Blood", will do much worse. Pure gore. "Za ginipiggu 2: Chiniku no hana" is probably the most extreme movie of this Japanese series and is also the most famous and controversial enough to end up on the chronicle. Hard and disturbing to see even for horror and splatter fans has its strongest points in the usual excellent production and in a minimal and highly shocking story. Hino maitre a penser of the saga is inspired by one of his manga and directs this movie than the first episode has a little more complex plot. Just a little, even is a very short movie, a part disgusting the viewer sometimes is boring.
It’s a quite simple story. There is a psychopath dressed as a samurai who kidnaps and slaughtered a woman and do pieces for his private collection of body parts. A camera records everything and man juggles his work with absurd monologues. Forty minutes, little dialogue, a lot of blood and special effects very credible, considering the time and the obvious few resources of production.

"Flowers Of Flesh and Blood", a bit 'like the whole series, ends up on the news pages twice. A copy of the sixth episode of the series, but instead someone says this second chapter is in the large collection of horror and slasher films of the Japanese serial killer Tsutomu Myazaki. Between 1988 and 1989, Myazaki killed, raped, mutilated, drank the blood and photographed four girls, making it even more sadistic sending family the photos. Captured in July 1989 he said to have been inspired by his movie collection. He was executed in June of the last year, after a very long trial.
A few years after this event, at the beginning of the nineties, the series returns on the news, when the good Charlie Sheen is shocked after watching this episode. The American actor is not only disgusted but called the FBI thinking he was watching a snuff movie. The FBI reported the "San Francisco Chronicle" takes the issue seriously and begins to investigate involving one of the American distributors. Hideshi Hino, for some sources investigated also in Japan, release the "making of" of the movie, proving that it is a fake and above all his skill.
A fact that has brought a great fame to this crazy but great series.
