An artist who is trying to cope with the recent death of his wife. One day while visiting the sewers beneath the streets of Okinawa, he comes across a mermaid that he had once met as a child, when the sewers used to be a large river. She is now stranded, stuck in the sewers. He sits down to paint her, but soon she starts crying in agony. That is when the painter notices that she has boils growing all over her body, due to being stuck in the sewers for a long length of time and contracted infections.
The Guinea Pig film series is a splatter fest in the true sense of the word, and over the years it has attracted a lot of attention due to the surrounding controversies (the film makers had to go to court and show people that they're actually weren't torturing anyone for real). Mermaid in a Manhole is the series fourth entry, and the one I found was the "best". All the films are basically an excuse to show a bloodbath for about 50 minutes, but Mermaid features more of a disgusting infection rather than being all out torture porn like the others. Low-budget and grisly, that's Guinea Pig.
