Guinea Pig: Devil Woman Doctor (ギニーピッグ ピーターの悪魔の女医さん, Ginī Piggu: Pītā no Akuma no Joi-san) is a 1990 film directed by Hajime Tabe. Rather than horror, the tone of this installment is more akin to extremely violent and surreal slapstick comedy.
Synopsis[]
The movie tells the story of a female doctor played by Japanese drag actor Peter. The film takes the form of several vignettes in which she encounters numerous patients, including a family whose heads explode if they get upset and a woman whose heart explodes when she becomes scared, a man with dissociative identity disorder who finds a new life as a street comedian, a yakuza member who has a sentient tumour with a human face growing on his stomach, and a zombie who lives a relatively normal life with his still-living girlfriend. The doctor then saves a woman from an animate internal organ before meeting a man who sweats blood, and attempts to remove a living tattoo from another patient, who she eventually has to flay alive to finally remove the troublesome ink. In the final scene, a group of four men discuss their particularly bizarre conditions. The first patient produces soybean paste under his feet and can spit eggs containing infant aliens from his mouth, the second has an elastic penis, the third constantly emits smoke from his body, and the fourth has a heart which moves around inside him. The Devil Woman Doctor then arrives on the scene and proclaims to the audience that each of the four conditions presented by the patients are incurable. As the credits roll, several of the film's characters hit each other with metal discs coated in sharp metal spikes, causing large amounts of blood to spurt from them, though no one appears to be seriously injured despite the graphic scene.
Correct Sequence[]
Much like Mermaid in a Manhole, sources differ on whether Devil Woman Doctor is the 4th or 6th entry in the film series. The front cover art for the VHS release of the film by Sai Enterprise describes it as the fourth film in the series.[1] According to Salvador Jimenez Murguía: "despite being chronologically labeled as the fourth in the series, [Devil Woman Doctor] is often referred to as the final [Guinea Pig] film."
