5.0 out of 5 stars More guinea splatter goodness, September 9, 2002

By	Chip Sango (Flordia) - See all my reviews

The 2nd installment from the guys at Unearthed Films is a drastic difference from the first DVD(Devils/Android). This is freaking awesome all the gore was not left out of this one, Meramid in a manhole was totally digusting and He never dies had me wincing at a few parts then laughing...at others.The menu design and added trailers to this DVD are top notch. Can't wait for Flower of Flesh and Blood to come out (after i saw the trailer). Overall this DVD is bad to the bone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure malicious fun, September 19, 2002

By A Customer

One gore comedy and another freaked out gore opus. Highly awesome. Mermaid rocks, It's just was disgusting and to fun to watch. He Never Dies rules. It's the 1st Japanese gore comedy i've ever seen. 2 films per disc, very cool menu design. I like the way the knife cuts the menu leaving another menu behind it. I watched the 1st Guinea Pig dvd and I did like it but this dvd is much better designed and the movies are way cooler. Devils Experiment does make you wonder. I can't wait to see what FLower of Flesh and Blood will look like.

1.0 out of 5 stars Another reason for the fall of the horror genre, March 13, 2003

By	Spencer Wendleton (Independence, MO United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Mermaid in a Manhole isn't even an hour long. Both movies add up to be about 113 minutes. The gore is substandard and the plot is as good as what I see when I wipe my behind. Let me sum this movie up: artist finds mermaid in sewer (that's the first five minutes), puts mermaid in tub, mermaid pops multi-colored pustules, artist paints her as she flops around, and artist cuts her up into pieces (very lame effects), and he gets thrown in prison. The end and I'm out of toilet paper.

He Never Dies keeps the lackadazical torch burning. I'll sum this one up for you: sad man cuts wrists, stares at the wound, keeps cutting himself up, brother comes to see and faints, then the man who never dies is a talking head on a table. That's it. Is it worth thirty bucks? Hell no, my friend. Listen to a long time horror fan, don't buy this please.
They call these the "Guinea Pig Films" because only guinea pigs could enjoy something as irrelevant and drab. Please avoid at all costs. Don't let the curiousity bug attack you like it did me. Just don't buy it, swallow nails instead because it'll make you feel much better than watching this piece of ....
