There cannot be many horror film fans who have never heard of the 'Guinea Pig' series of films from Japan ('Za Ginipiggu' series in Japanese). The series contains some short films which are almost certainly amongst the most unpleasant films of all time, and could never have been made anywhere else but Japan. There are eight 'official' episodes in the series and the exact order of the titles is somewhat open to debate. Most enthusiasts agree on the following as the likely order:
- Devil's Experiment (1988, ?, 'Za Ginipiggu: Akuma no Jikken')
- Flowers of Flesh and Blood (also referred to as 'Flower of Bloody Flesh', 1989, Hideshi Hino, 'Za Ginipiggu 2: Chiniku no Hana')
- Android of Notre Dame (1990, Kazuhito Kuramoto, 'Za Ginipiggu 3: Notorudamu no Andoroido')
- Mermaid in a Manhole (1991, Hideshi Hino, 'Za Ginipiggu 4: Manhoru no Naka no Ningyo')
- Devil Woman Doctor (1992, Hajime Ejiki, 'Za Ginipiggu 5: Akuma no Joi-san')
- Slaughter Special (1992, Satoru Ogura/Hideshi Hino, 'Za Ginipiggu 6: Zansatsu Supeshyaru')
- The Making of Guinea Pig (1992, Satoru Ogura, 'Meikingu Obu Za Ginipiggu')
- He Never Dies (1992, Masayuki Hisazumi, 'Za Ginipiggu 8: Senritsu! Shinanai Otoko')
