At only forty-five minutes or so, this was still overlong, since there's really no story: a woman is stalked, captured, and chloroformed all quite quickly. She's next seen tied up and gagged in a room. She hears, as does the audience, a noise and this is about the only suspenseful moment in the movie - the camera takes its time getting to the source of the noise. She's drugged then dismembered and disemboweled. We're then shown the murderer's collection of other specimens. Should we say 'yuck,' or 'yawn'?
A much better movie with some similar elements is Môjuu (1969) AKA Blind Beast. Based on an Edogawa Rampo story, that one is also a Japanese film featuring a woman who is captured and tortured. However, it is much more involving and intelligent. Flowers of Flesh and Blood is to be seen only for the gore, and even then by those who are not very discerning.
