Trivia
This Japanese movie from 1989 is the sixth and final one in the Guinea Pig series. However, it's the second of two in the second wave of the series - the second and final one in the series to have been produced and distributed (beginning on March 21, 1989) by Japan Home Video, which revived the series a year and a half after Sai Enterprise, the company which previously produced it, went bankrupt. That's why the movie's on-screen Japanese title includes the volume number '2'.

Bizarre but colourful entry to the "Guinea Pig" series

"Android of Notre Dame" is a strange little film. This sci-fi / horror production is the truly bizarre tale of a mad, vertically challenged scientist and his dying sister. This film reminded me of what might happen if a bunch of horror fans stumbled across a disused "Doctor Who" studio from the '80s...the production was a combination of cheap sets, colourful lighting and gallons of very bright and otherworldly gore...just what the doctor ordered!

"Android" is definitely a hesitant recommendation but perhaps a necessary viewing for "Guinea Pig" completists and fans of alternative J-Horror.
