Guinea Pig Part 4: Devil Doctor Woman (1986)

the leading man is my tpye

Admirable film.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

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.4/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

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.

this film is (fortunately) not the first of notorious guinea pig films i had a 'pleasure' to watch. unlike 'mermaid in a manhole', devil doctor is and probably was intended to be a comedy. unfortunately - not a very good one, and to be honest 'a man who never dies' made me more amused, probably because it didn't intend to be funny (and was shorter). devil woman doctor is filled with exaggeration and slapstick humour, it doesn't appear to have any plot or time/place setting. the shots are or not loosely connected with a figure of a Japanese drag queen (supposedly a doctor... and a cleaner). they reminded me of (dont hate me, i didn't mean it this way) Monty python sketches that went bad. the stomach chasing a young girl in a tunnel was certainly the worst part of it, i liked the straightforward conversation of four patients suffering from various diseases and the moving tattoo scene, the opening was quite funny too. 3 out of 10... because i have seen worse.

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...
