Customer Reviews

a cheese wheelin' on
I like this movie, sometimes when it's cold outside, and I'm in my basement, and I'm all alone... I put this DVD in and... and... and... marvel over this snazy piece of trash. hint, when on the display menu, click on the lips... this little easter-egg allows you to view flower of flesh the way it's supposed to be seen. All gritty and stinky like the way I originaly saw it in the early 90's. MMMM Dub's of dub's from a friends friend.

yawn.................
after the scene where the 1st hand is cut off she'd have been dead in 10 minutes. however...........she's still breathing until the evisceration. don't think so. secondly, why would someone sedate a victim who he's OBVIOUSLY out to torture. for being based on something that really happened, this is weak suace. oh yeah......i've been living in japan for the past year and a half, none of my friends in tokyo have ever heard of these crimes.

Boring!!!
If you can't spot the flaws in the special effects of this film, then you need thicker glasses!

The gore in Cannibal Holocaust is more realistic because its's filmed from a distance where you can't see latex skin and cat food filling like in this film, Men Behind the Sun has an absolutely real cadaver disected on camera, their plenty of graphic mondo docos and shows on tv with real surgery on display. If you have seen any of these then nothing about Flowers will shock or disturb you.

While the make up crew came up with the goods the problem is the way the film is shot and scored. The director should commit hari kari for ruining any realism with lingering closeups and silly sound effects. This is easlily one of the most over-rated films out there. Everyone raves about "wild anything goes Japanese cinema" when in reality they cannot even display genitals in Japanese films without them being optically blurred!?

In all reality I had high hopes for this film and if it was a genuine looking snuff film then it would have being well worth the time. However it's boring, dragging out every single scene in order to fill out the running time and when the payoff comes the special effects are filmed ineptly enough that any seasoned viewer will see right through them. No plot, no depth. All this film has is special effects and they are not as great as several sheltered viewers would have you believe.
