I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

"He Never Dies" is the third of the "Guinea Pig" films. It is also the first one of them to have an actual plot. And it works relatively well considering the film's shoestring budget.This is a simple tale of a depressed Japanese businessman whom after being dumped by his girlfriend, decides to end his life. But what he soon finds out that it might not be so easy. For some reason he is unable to die, hence the name "He Never Dies".What soon becomes apparent after watching a few minutes of the film is that the mood which dominated the first two parts of the series is changed to a less serious comedic one. No longer are we presented with the idea of a documentary type picture. Instead the viewer is treated to a comedic gore film more similar to Peter Jackson's Dead Alive. This doesn't necessarily mean that it is inferior, but it loses some of it's edge compared to the previous installments. Yes there is a lot of gore in it but it never reaches the stomach churning effect of "Flowers Of Flesh And Blood". Simply because it is treading in a crossroad with it's attempt to incorporate a plot but at the same time suffering from budget limitations. Production value is visibly low and while that could have been excused in the past entries because of their snuff film appearance, here they become a problem to properly enjoy the film. For what it's worth the acting is surprisingly good with the actors demonstrating some very entertaining reactions towards the main character's "problem"."He Never Dies" is a very different from the previous, film. With it's includement of plot and characters and comedic presentation it lost a lot of the shock effect the first two movies were known for. But it made it up for it's the sheer entertainment value.

It was just a few days ago that I got the "Guinea Pig" box set, so naturally I have been watching ever film in the series. The first 2 films were rather good then I get to this one. Where the hell did this one come from? The story opens up with an American talking about the upcoming story being true and how it could possibly happen to you. The story starts with a man who is depressed and isn't getting any respect at work. After staying in his apartment for 4 days in a row, he decides to kill himself. He proceeds to slit his wrists in a gross manner. For some unknown reason this does not kill him so he starts mutilating himself in all sorts of ways.That is the story. It sounds like it would be cool but it is pulled off in a rather dull comedic manner. I don't think I laughed a single time. But this was just me. It doesn't mean that most people wouldn't find it funny. The gore was always welcome but, for my tastes, it wasn't gory enough (except the wrist scene). Listen for music from the Italian horror film "Demons" when he is slicing his belly open. I thought that was the only humorous part in the whole movie. 6/10

This third installment in the Guinea Pig cycle prostitutes its way to wider acceptability with humor.Trouble is, the humor is so juvenile it's tedious.A salaryman decides to off himself. He cuts off his own hand, rips out his innards and saws through his throat with a long knife.Unfortunately (for him), these gory acts don't kill him...they only make him stronger and more determined to find other ways of suiciding.Considering the fact that these productions are shot on video (which is a very harsh, unforgiving medium), the special make-up effects are pretty amazing. If they had been filmed and lit more low key, they'd be almost perfect.HE NEVER DIES becomes even sillier when our hero's best buddy and girlfriend turn up.Definitely miles removed from the mean-spirited hijinks of the previous two installments, this is mildly amusing if you shuttle from gore scene to gore scene.Still, you have to admire the Japanese for their balls in producing material like this.

This absolutely hilarious (seriously!) gore flick documents the life of a bored businessman who just broke up with his sexy girlfriend. One evening in a fit of restlessness and depression he slits his wrists, only to find himself healthy again within minutes. He soon discovers that he will never die no matter what kind of mutilation and desecration he inflicts upon himself. Knowing this, our hero exacts revenge on his ex's new beau by grossing the poor guy out, making him witness all kinds of disgusting self-abuse, including having internal organs thrown at him. The gore is unbelievably realistic and stomach-churning, but at the same time it's so extreme and over-the-top that you know it's supposed to be humorous as well as repulsive. Definitely the funniest entry in the GUINEA PIG series. Also, be sure to stick around for the credits.
