Like the other Guinea Pig movies, the beginning tries to convince us that what we're seeing is real (though I highly doubt it was meant to be serious this time around), but unlike the other Guinea Pig movies, this movie is so comically over-the-top and beyond unrealistic that not even Charlie Sheen could mistake it for reality.
A depressed man slits his wrist only to find he cannot die nor even feel pain, he inflicts more self-harm to prove this for sure, and then when he's finally convinced himself that it's not a dream, invites his friend over, who is sleeping with immortal guy's girlfriend Kyoko, and gets his revenge on him by grossing him out and throwing intestines at him. I don't want to spoil too much but the ending is equal parts ludicrous and amusing.
The entire movie is very goofy, and funny in several places. Surprisingly, it's also pretty gross, the wrist cutting scene and the throat slicing scene are both more unnerving than any of the serious gore and violence in the previous Guinea Pig installments. As usual with the Guinea Pig movies, the gore effects look pretty good. I hope they made at least one of the remaining Guinea Pig installments like this one instead of trying to be shocking with plot less torture. Off to Mermaid In A Manhole!
