Guinea Pig: Mermaid in the Manhole

1988 · 0h 58m · Horror, Romance

IMDb 5.5

Unless you're a hardcore Japanese horror completist or morbidly curious about the Guinea Pig franchise's infamous reputation, skip this one. A 5.5 IMDb score signals exactly what you'd expect: an experimental oddity that's more art-house provocation than compelling cinema. Your time is better spent elsewhere.

Plot

An artist dealing with the grief of his wife leaving him finds solace in painting the squalor of the sewer. He discovers a trapped mermaid, whom he brings home to heal. Her condition worsens, and she asks the artist to paint her before she dies.

Director: Hideshi Hino

Cast: Shigeru Saiki, Mari Somei, Go Riju, Masami Hisamoto, Tsuyoshi Toshishige
