If you loved Guinea Pig Part 2: Flower of Flesh and Blood, try Guinea Pig: Mermaid in the Manhole

What they share

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 Guinea Pig Part 2: Flower of Flesh and Blood, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
