Guinea Pig 4: Devil Woman Doctor

I've always what future "Guinea Pig" films would have looked like had they continued in the same taboo-breaking vein as "The Devil's Experiment" and "Flowers of Flesh and Blood". While some of the subsequent episodes were dark tales of horror, "Devil Woman Doctor" follows in the same comic footsteps as "He Never Dies". If you imagine what a Japanese Monty Python show may have looked like, you'll have some idea of the style of this dubious entry in the series.

Casting political correctness aside, we have a crying baby's head exploding and an animated, corn-fed poo monster (think of "South Park"'s Mr. Hankey in "real-life"). With a succession of hit-and-miss sketches (well, "miss"), this installment seems to last a lot longer than its 52 minutes.

4 out of 10. I'm almost lost for words. Another "completists only" title.

I actually really enjoyed the movie, not because it was good or super violent but because I like the mixture of silly innocent humor and gory special effects. It might not be for everyone and I have to admit that "Devil Woman Doctor" is the weakest in the Guinea Pig series but if you want to have a few laughs and don't have time for a full length feature you should give this a open minded try.

Fun for the whole family! If thats what you had in mind, please go to a site more suitable for you such as www.google.ca

This movie is for gore hounds, and you would have to be one to appreciate it. This movie is the sixth and last of the Za ginipiggu (Guinea Pig) series, filmed in the style of Guinea Pig 3: He Never Dies. The movie is a bunch of hilarious scenes where different body parts will blow up with different people if they get upsetor be shocked. I do not want to spoil the fun so watch it for yourself.

I would recommend this movie to watch with a bunch of friends. That way, you can laugh with your friends although some people may not find it that funny.

8/10

If you've read any of my other reviews regarding the "infamous" GUINEA PIG series, you'll notice that I don't have much love for these films. With the exception of HE NEVER DIES, MERMAID IN A MANHOLE, and FLOWER OF FLESH AND BLOOD (none of which are masterpieces in their own right...), the GUINEA PIG series just isn't what it's cracked up to be. DEVIL WOMAN DOCTOR is another fine example of the disappointment I felt after hearing all the hype about this series, then shelling out for the box-set. Luckily I got it pretty cheap... Anyway, DEVIL WOMAN DOCTOR is a horror comedy that revolves around a transvestite doctor doing stupid experiments on patients. There are a few slightly humorous moments, but anyone calling this film "hilarious" must have the comedy sense of a five-year-old. The FX are stupid, it's not that gory or funny, so what are you left with....Not much. This one sucks, plain and simple. Also avoid ANDROID OF NOTRE DAME and DEVIL'S EXPERIMENT - these suck, too. A generous 3/10 for a couple of minor laughs...

I used to be worried about watching these infamous movies, but honestly, the first two are the only ones that are horrible. The first one is horribly bad and boring, and then the second is so unflinching and bloody and honestly looks real by B-grade gory horror movie standards, but then #3 and #4 in the Guinea Pig series have been much funnier.

This one is about... uh... god. It's about people who have weird medical conditions. They have gross things happen with their body, and then their treatments are gross. But almost everything is played for laughs.

It was annoying and one-note at first, but then it kept pushing things into further outlandish territory, and it got funnier. There aren't words for some of the things that happen in the last 10 minutes of this one. Aliens? Maybe there's just one word. This series is insane.

The third one was funnier and more consistent, but I still sort of liked this fourth one, or I was otherwise baffled by it in ways I liked, rather than hated. Unless you like gross-out horror, or you're like me and have seen 7000+ movies and keep having to search for weird ones like this, maybe stay away from Devil Doctor Woman.

Also, the star of this (the titular Devil Doctor Woman) was in Akira Kurosawa's Ran just one year prior, as the Jester character. He's also in my favorite Zatoichi film, the one that starred the late Tatsuya Nakadai as Zatoichi's opponent (Zatoichi and the Fire Festival, I think it was called). And then Tatsuya Nakadai was also in Ran. I love how chaotic Japanese cinema can get, but I don't think it's chaotic enough that Tatsuya Nakadai will show up in one of the remaining Guinea Pig films. But we shall see.
