Trailer

This was one of the most disturbing movies I have ever seen.

So why watch junk like that? I didn't watch the trailer (at work), but the imdb summary of the plot told me enough.

[Treesh]

I have seen some strange movies, had very strange dreams (Gnollguy can vouch for that) and I think the premise for that one is definitely twisted. I may have to go find that one somewhere and watch it just to see how bad it gets. I find it funny that I was just telling a coworker I needed to find some new movies and now I find two new threads (new to me anyway) about very different movies. I'll reserve my thanks to you until I actually watch this one though.

I watched the trailer, and it is...

...

Well, weird I guess. Possibly weirdererer. Yes, that sounds about right. While I'm prepared to endure quite a bit in the bad-movie-department (Uwe Boll bad), I'll give this one a pass. Just too weirdererish.



take care

Hi,

Has anyone else seen this?

This was one of the most disturbing movies I have ever seen.

But, was it entertaining in any way? Did it have a real plot (not just an excuse for gore)? Where the characters developed and did the actors play them well?

I watched a real dog, yesterday, Life Blood. It had the fascination of a slow motion train wreck -- I just couldn't stop watching it. Normally, I'd have given it 1 or 2 stars, but I gave it three. After all, the notion that god is not just a woman, but a lesbian vampire deserves some Whedonian credit

From what I read in the notes that came with Vampur, Dreyer removed the lesbian sub-plot from the screenplay. Would have been nice.

I know what you mean... That's the kind of bad movie I can't stop watching either...

It really was engrossing. There was sort of a plot, and the actors did a decent job (especially the freaky doctor guy). It was a pretty well made movie for the genre on what I assume was a shoestring budget. If the writer/director ever does another horror movie I'll be sure to check it out.

There were some stupid bits to it that bugged me, but it was easy for me to look past them just to see what was going to happen next.

If you don't love disturbing horror movies do not watch this movie.

It disturbs me that there were 3 people with 4 appendages making a total of 12 legs... The Human Dodecapede might not have been as appealing a title. For 100 legs, the insane doctor would need to sew together 25 people... Low budget indeed. It reminds me of the Pythonian skit of 3 brides for 4 brothers...

For horrible... I still think "Misery" with Kathy Bates was the most disturbing.

[LochnarITB]

I have no intention of watching the movie. That clip was already far more disturbing than I expect of my entertainment. However, because it was disturbing, the thought of it has struck me a few times since and it leaves me with a question. How does he get around the fact that the food provided at the front end would be almost devoid of nutritional value after passing through the first one or two segments? You never know when such information may come in handy.

Technically the movie is titled "The Human Centipede (First Sequence)". There is a sequel listed for release in 2011 titled "The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence)". Which implies to me exactly what we can expect from that sequel.

This movie was just the "First Sequence". I think that doctor is planning some additions in later movies, if there are any later movies.

The doctor wasn't exactly sane.


SPOILERS BELOW!






















I'm not sure that the doctor cared about making his centipede a sustaining model. The movie shows that he did it before on his dogs and they died early too.

Eacvh time I see 'the doctor,' I think of Tom Baker.

I have no intention of watching the movie.

Yeah, I won't see it. First, I don't much like horror. What I see in my life is horror enough. Second, I don't like "bad" movies -- meaning poorly made low budget bad script movies. And third, part of the fun of watching a movie for me is watching it with a friend and discussing it. I don't know anyone who'd want to see something this wretchedly awful in content and form.

Hi,

At the end, the trailer advertises the film with "100% medical correct"... According to the Wikipedia entry for that movie:

Tom Six stated that his intention was to create a film that was 100% medically accurate, consulting a Dutch surgeon during the creation and filming process. Six claimed that while initially reluctant to take part in the film due to both concerns about professional reputation and feelings that the film had nothing to do with medical science, after reading the script the surgeon took a very strong interest in the procedure, and went on to devise a method that he believed would work in real life. Six claims that with this method, using an IV drip to supplement the diet of the middle and back parts would allow the centipede to survive for 'years'.

I still don't know why I read the plot in Wikipedia and watched that trailer until the end. I found the idea and the pictured extremely disturbing, even though I cannot exactly pinpoint why, and somehow I still had to read the plot. For the rest of the day, I had a foul taste in my mouth, and will never ever watch that movie.

Yes, I'm a wuss.

No, but it is interesting that your movie has six or seven times as many views as Filth.

No matter how bad the movie is it's totally worth it:

Human Centipede: The Game.

Pure win! I was laughing so hard while playing that. Very twisted sure, but funny!
