What happens

《豚鼠》(日语:ギニーピッグ)是六部争议性的日本恐怖電影,主要因前两部电影而闻名全球,因为制片人需要证明没有人真正受伤或被谋杀。制片人日野日出志的本意是制作一部改编自他的漫画作品的电影。 20世纪80年代末和90年代初,该系列的第六部电影(《恶魔女医生》)在日本連環殺手宮崎勤的5763盘录像带中被发现,使该系列电影在日本声名狼藉。最初被错误地报道为该系列的第二部电影。人们普遍误以为宫崎勤犯罪时重拍了第二部电影中的部分场景。由于最初围绕该系列的争议,该系列在日本已经停产。然而,整个系列电影已经在美国、荷兰、英国和奥地利以DVD形式重新发行。 1991年,当影人克里斯·戈雷遇到演员查理·辛并给他一份电影副本时,这些电影得到了媒体的广泛关注。然后,辛观看了《血肉之花》,误认为是真正的虐杀电影,遂联系联邦调查局,并将其报道出来。联邦调查局特工丹·科德林告诉他们,联邦调查局和日本当局已经在调查电影制片人,他们多次接受日本警方的问讯,最终传唤到法庭,以证明是特效,确实是假的。 1989年的日本暴力片《幸运天钻》经常被错误地称为《豚鼠:幸运天钻》,但实际上与豚鼠系列无关。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
