Guinea Pig 4 - Devil Woman Doctor (1990)

My rating - 4/10

Devil Woman Doctor is the 4th entry, well the title card on the screen says "Guinea Pig 4" even though this was the last to be made. Mermaid In A Manhole was made 2 years before this but has the onscreen title of "Guinea Pig 6". There's always been debate as to the series order and it's these two films that are the reason for it.

Here we get a series of short vignettes featuring a female doctor, actually a Japanese drag artist called Jack, at least that's what I can gather. Anyway we get people's heads exploding when they get upset, a womans stomach exploding when she's scared and a bunch of other nonsense!. Playing out in more of a slapstick comedy style, it's really not very good. There's one decent effect of a man after he's been skinned alive but the rest of the gore is cheap and, probably intentionally unrealistic.

I watched this one again for this site and it was the first time in many years, and no, it wasn't anymore entertaining after all this time. If you're just looking for some Japanese weirdness then you may find some of it fun, but for me it's easily the worst in the series.
