American Guinea Pig 2: Bloodshock (Original title: American Guinea Pig: Bloodshock ) is an American horror film directed by Marcus Koch from 2015. It is the second part of a US tribute to the Guinea Pig film series that was released in 2014 by Unearth Films started with the first part .
action
Most of the film was shot in black and white and only needs a few lines of dialogue. The focus is on a nameless woman and a nameless man, on whom a doctor carries out cruel and brutal experiments in order to get intoxicated on their blood.
At the beginning, the man's tongue is removed and replaced with a metal structure. Then the experiments begin, the intensity of which increases more and more in pain and blood loss. After the first two rounds, a woman hands him a piece of paper through a gap in the rubber-cell-like wall structure. The two talk through these notes and thus get closer to each other. When the man expresses his wish to die, the woman begs him not to leave her alone. The two make a pact.
Then the experiments continue. The two patients are cut open with full consciousness and patched together again, nerves and tendons are replaced with metal. In the breaks between operations, the doctor gets drunk on the blood drawn.
In an unobserved moment, the woman can grab a scalpel and takes one eye of the doctor. Then she kills the nurse and gets to the man. There she locks the door and the two begin a bizarre lovemaking in which they open each other's wounds until they bleed to death together. This is the only scene that uses color film.
At the end you see the doctor with an eye patch starting the procedure with another patient who also takes his tongue.
During the credits you see the man killing his wife and daughter and the woman killing her sleeping mother with an ax.
background
After the success of American Guinea Pig , Unearthed Films decided to continue the film franchise. A total of eight films are planned. Marcus Koch, who was responsible for the first part as a special effects artist, took over the direction. While the first part was filmed in the video library by Stephen Biro, director of the first part and screenwriter of the second part, the recordings of the second part took place next door, where there was a doctor's office as early as the 1940s, which is said to have been the scene of a murder.
Marcus Koch and Stephen Biro decided to market the film less as a fake snuff film, as was the case with the first parts of the original Japanese film series and the first part of the remake series, but rather to make the story psychological and much more experimental , although gore and splatter effects should still be included. The industrial- style soundtrack as well as the black and white look have been added. The finale, on the other hand, is in color to create a kind of “ hyper-reality ”, as Koch described it in an interview. The decision to do this came while editing.
Like the first part, which has meanwhile been confiscated in Germany , the second part was also published in Austria on the Dutch uncut label Extreme. There are four different Mediabooks, each with a 500 limit. A second DVD contains extras such as behind the scenes , various interviews and recordings from the premiere of the film in Atlanta.
