Guinea Pig (film series)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The
Guinea Pig films (ギニーピッグ,
Ginī Piggu?) are a series of seven controversial 1980s
Japanese exploitation gore-
horror films. The series achieved global notoriety mostly for the first two films, which were
mondo-inspired
fake documentaries painstakingly shot and edited to resemble true
snuff films.
The tapes gained notoriety in
Japan during the late 1980s and early 1990s when the fourth film of the series ("Mermaid in a Manhole") was found showcased in the 5,763 videotape collection of Japanese
serial killer Tsutomu Miyazaki. It was erroneously reported originally as being the second film of the series. It was widely but mistakenly believed that Miyazaki re-enacted the snuff scene from the second film as a part of his crimes. Because of the initial controversy surrounding the series, the series went out of production in Japan and is a collector's item which commands a high premium. However, the entire series has since been reissued on
DVD in the
United States, the
Netherlands and in
Austria and can be imported to Japan.
According to
Snopes, the films became infamous in the U.S. when in 1991 the actor
Charlie Sheen mistook the second film of the series,
Flower of Flesh and Blood for a genuine
snuff film and contacted the
FBI to report it.
