Guinea Pig: Devil's Experiment |
The film is presented under the guise of being a video sent to director Satoru Ogura, with the explanation that it depicts "an experiment on the breaking point of bearable pain and the corrosion of people's senses". |
In the film, three men abduct a woman and torture her before eventually killing her. |
Their methods of torture include hitting and kicking her, pinching her with pliers, forcing her to endure sound torture, burning her with scalding oil, dumping maggots on her, and poking a needle through one of her eyes. |
Writing about the presentation of "Devil's Experiment" as being a genuine snuff film, J. Doyle Wallis of DVD Talk wrote that "it didn't strike me as the slightest bit true", but noted that, "despite spotting the stumbles that betray its reality, it is quite disturbing". |
He called it "hard to watch" and "bold but also utterly deplorable", and asserted that its "perversity is there merely to exploit a part of the human psyche that is totally without merit." |
In his book "Eros in Hell: Sex, Blood and Madness in Japanese Cinema", Jack Hunter wrote that the filming and editing techniques implemented in the film lend to it being "an effective and surprisingly low-key meditation on the cumulative dehumanization that violence causes in both aggressor and victim alike." |
In "Nightmare Japan: Contemporary Japanese Horror Cinema", author Jay McRoy similarly notes such techniques, writing that while the film "[blurs] audience distinctions between fact and fiction, thus heightening the visceral impact generated by the 'experiment's' verisimilitude", its "technical sophistication and artistry" exposes its fictional nature. |
