Guinea Pig Collection
4 movies · 1985–1988
The Guinea Pig Collection is a series of four Japanese horror films released between 1985 and 1988. This collection garnered significant attention globally, particularly with its initial installments, due to the producer's stated intention to avoid any actual harm or fatalities during the filmmaking process. The project originated from Hideshi Hino's desire to adapt his own manga work into a cinematic format. The films within the Guinea Pig Collection have a total runtime of 184 minutes and a reported total budget of 255,500. The collection's individual film runtimes range from 41 to 58 minutes. While specific revenue figures for each film are unavailable, the total reported revenue for the entire collection is zero. The series comprises four distinct films: ギニーピッグ 悪魔の実験 (1985), ギニーピッグ2 血肉の華 (1985), ギニーピッグ3 戦慄! 死なない男 (1986), and ザ・ギニーピッグ マンホールの中の人魚 (1988). The films collectively represent a unique body of work within the horror genre from the late 20th century.
