If you loved Mermaid in a Manhole, try Guinea Pig: Flowers of flesh and blood
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
Both films are directed by Hideshi Hino, and they both carry the body horror, dread mood tags, and they sit in Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Mermaid in a Manhole, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Guinea Pig: Flowers of flesh and blood is
Basement. Night. Hacksaw. A bound woman watches as a samurai-armored maniac dismembers and defiles her, piece by piece. The act may be a performance for the camera, or perhaps a descent into actual madness. For gorehounds and J-horror completists only.
