Flowers of Flesh and Blood is a Japanese horror film from the year 1985 . It is the second part of the Guinea Pig series.

action

The second film is also referred to by Unearthed Films as a re-enactment of a snuff film that was sent to one of the scriptwriters. It shows a man disguised as a samurai who drugged and dismembered a woman to add her body parts to his collection. The samurai repeatedly comments on the beauty of severed limbs and points out the similarity of the interfaces to red flowers.

background

Actor Charlie Sheen mistook this film for the portrayal of a real murder and reported this to the police, which resulted in a large-scale FBI investigation aimed at finding out whether the murder depicted was real. The band Skinny Puppy wrote The Mourn, believing that the film was authentic . After it later turned out that the film was not a real crime, they added excerpts from it to their stage show.

This film was directed by the Japanese manga artist Hideshi Hino , who also wrote the script.

Flowers of Flesh and Blood was found among the almost 6000 video cassettes of the Japanese child killer Tsutomu Miyazaki , whereupon the police suspected that they had found a real snuff video due to the special effects that were convincing for the time . In order to reassure the public in Japan, the makers of the film produced a making-of entitled Making of Guinea Pig ( メ ー キ ン グ ・ オ ブ ・ ギ ニ ー ピ ッ グ , Mēkingu obu ginī piggu ). After examination, the authorities admitted that the "films were nothing unusual by Japanese standards".
