Guinea Pig 6. A MAD Video release. In Japanese without subtitles. 80’. VHS PAL big screen video projection for a police investigation at VET, Helsinki, Tuesday, 23 September 1997. September has been amazingly free from the video nasties and hard core pornography that usually fill the largest part of the office’s viewing schedule. Well, here then is a reminder of what’s it’s all about. In stark hand-held cinéma vérite style a young, bound woman is brutalized by men. They hit her face till she spits blood, they kick her and tear her skin with pincers. They rotate her in a revolving chair and force her to drink a large bottle of liquor till she vomits. They torture her with a headset bombarding her ears with amplified industrial noise till slime drips from her mouth. Further atrocities include spikes on fingers, boiling oil on arms, white maggots on burned flesh and eyelids, raw bloody meat thrown all over the victim, and eyesockets pierced till they are filled with blood, and finally, eyeballs pierced. Thus ends the first episode of several. In the end credit sequence the special effects are revealed. The Japanese schlockmakers indulge even in actual sadism, but the Guinea Pig series is known as fictional.
