Human Centipede

[Jim H]

I think the best thing about this movie is the actor's name who plays the mad doctor. 



DIETER LASER!!!

Entertainment Weekly gives it a B+...

This movie just makes me angry and wanting to pummel the doctor's head in with my fist.

Hmm...  I'm sorta of curious to see this movie.  But, from the trailer, it looks really sick.  And I mean, bad sick, not cool sick.  (If I meant cool sick I would have typed it like "sick")

I'll probably rent this at some point, watch about half, turn it off in disgust, then watch the rest the next day out of curiosity.

"It's to my fellow depravity-heads — and to no one else — that I recommend The Human Centipede (First Sequence), a surgical-nightmare exploitation film that has no pretense to anything beyond making you go, 'My God, now that is gross.'"

[Ash]

This movie looks awesome!   

Definitely going to add it to my Netflix queue.

After reading what is here and elsewhere, uh-uh, no thanks.

So a doctor studied hard for a decade at medical school and went through all those apprenticeships so he could surgically attach peoples
mouths to others anuses...
I'm glad society can allocate scarce resources so efficiently!

Yeah, but when that's all the movie is about, making him a renowned surgeon obsessed with... you know... is the easiest way to get there. It's like the pizza delivery in a bad porno move; how the guy gets into the woman's house isn't all that important. There just needs to be some small pretense of a story.

That gives me an even stranger thought - there are probably fans of scat porn who are having a whole different reaction to this movie.

Another thought: it would be much, much worse to be the second or third in line than to be the first...

[AndyC]

Second has it the worst, I think. The front gets to talk, eat food, see where he's going. The back at least has one end free, and I imagine the organic matter is much more broken down by the time it gets there. The middle has no freedom of movement whatsoever.

Mind you, there isn't going to be much nutrition left for the back end, and any parasites or bacteria will have had three digestive systems to breed in before they leave. Does he give them antibiotics constantly, and are they given food that will make it to Number 3 at least partly intact (although hopefully not corn on the cob). Actually, there are a lot of problems with an experiment like that, besides it being cruel and serving absolutely no purpose. This is one of the reasons why I'm now just a little bit tempted to see the movie. I understand they hired a real surgeon to devise something plausible, and I'm kind of curious about how he got around some of the this stuff.

And there are many other questions. Could the doctor punish his creation with laxatives? Or baked beans?

[Andrew]

This could have been more disgusting.  The trailer could show a big pile of chocolate Exlax in a dog food dish, which would make being second or third in line quite a bit worse.

[Raffine]

Or baked beans?

The results could shatter windows and knock down walls.

I'm thinking a huge fart is most likely going to have to escape through the next person's nose. Come to think of it, if you keep passing poo down the line like that, you're bound to generate a lot of gas somewhere.

Man, I hope this board's speculations are a lot worse than what actually occurs in the movie.  Thanks for helping to psychologically prepare me for the worst.
