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.

All of the Guinea Pig movies are quite pointless ones but this one is a bit extreme in that sense perhaps. It really lacks a purpose and instead is an odd pile of different strange and humorous sequences, mostly involving death and gore. It sometimes work out as entertaining but more often as just plain odd and truly pointless.

It's a movie that mostly leans on its devil woman doctor, a man a drag pretending to be a doctor, who is also the binding factor of the entire movie. Within him the movie would had been a totally disjointed one. The drag queen still brings some joy to the entire movie but it's simply not quite good enough to truly uplift the movie and to make it a fully successful movie.

Because of its more comical and far less serious approach, this movie is also less extreme with its gore. It also simply goes far too over-the-top for it to let its gore work out as anything shocking or realistic. Also when you compare its effects to any of the other previous entries out of the series, this movie is surely the least.

Even though its far more comical, I just couldn't enjoy watching this movie as much as I did some of the other entries within the Japanese Guinea Pig-series.

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.

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...

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.
