The Human Centipede
This looks like the most fucked up film I will ever have seen since Salo.

It said something there about connecting them by their gastric systems. The asshole is just the far end of the mouth. Maybe the first one eats and it goes through them all and just the end one has the stomach and whatnot to fully digest and process it all? That's some messed up shit, i tell you what! i wish I had thought of it.
Well if that's the case that would be one smart and talented doctor. But i just did read a short plot summary and it said something about eating fecal matter. But i don't think i really want to watch the movie to find out. No, wait, yes i do.
I would make a 2 girls one cup joke but i really don't want to have to relive that experience.

This might be remotely based on Otsu Ichi's novel.

i saw the preview a while ago and was disturbed.

They get closer and closer to my own screenplay every day.
I need to get this thing sold.
Too many of us grew up watching Cronenberg films....

How...strange. Doubt I'll go see it, but still an interesting concept for a movie. The only problem is I feel that commercial showed everything in the movie from start to finish. And I have a good idea that who is ever in the middle of the centipede is the last left alive.

Hmmm... this seems like pure shock value. I'll watch it, in hopes of it having some kind of applicable message... like accurately describing how he was able to pull off that procedure...

Reminds me of this nigga I slayed once:
"What. Was that?!"
"We're not a little lost. We're really lost."
I love quality acting.
But really... Looks sick. I'd think about watching it (downloading it).

It hits Fearnet, I'ma watch it.

Looks kinda funny.
Shit like this is way too gross for me to watch. I'm old school, The Exorcist still scares the shit out of me.
See, the thing of this is, it seems like it's trying way too hard. The premise is so over the top as to be laughable, but then they play everything super extreme and gory and it just falls flat for me. Oooh a creepy doctor. Oooh he's gonna make some dude shit in some girl's mouth! ooooooh! Seriously, the treatment for this film must have been written at a junior high sleepover after too many hours of Silent Hill and Sour Patch Kids. Fuckin' Hollywood, man...
Firstly, Gross.
Secondly, He needs better anaesthetics.
It feels to me like it's the same movie as Hostel, if Hostel had a better story line and director.
Oh! I saw this at Frightfest last summer. Twas fucking great. I only watched it out of pure curiosity but it's actually a great horror flick, super gross but it actually holds its own for an hour and a half which I wasn't expecting. The actor who plays the doctor is amazing too. The director did a Q&A and he told us he's making a sequel which will make this one look like Sesame Street. I went out for a burger afterwards.
Yeah I read on Wikipedia that the sequel will contain a human centipede made of 12 people.

I was figuring they'd go with the trilogy thing where each movie is a different experiment, like in the next one he'd sew up a kid inside someone, and then sew that one up inside someone else, like those Russian mamushka dolls or whatever they're called, but then I couldn't think of anything else disgusting enough to do to people for the third movie...
This is a question for Dr. Josh Bazell.
ha, tietz!
The after Mamushkaman, he needs to do a human Pushmepullyou.

Never GIS "man crawling" ever again.

Saw it last night. Pretty good. That creepy german doctor was quite good at being a creepy german doctor.
And a girl eats shit, spoiler alert!

Holy Guacamole! Just found this. It's 4:30 in the morning. I'm trying to talk myself into waiting till the light of day before watching it.
Ugh, I saw some webcam question and answer the director did, he's from Poland I think. One of the questions was what inspired you to make the movie, or where did the premise come from. And he got absolutely giddy and so proud of himself, that he was watchign the news and some child molester was on it and he just kept on repeating how cool it'd be to do this to that guy. It was just weird and disturbing, and the guy couldn't honestly come up with a reason to go see this movie other than "imagine if it was really a child molester this was happening to" or something along those lines. I'm paraphrasing big time, but it was definitely as disturbing as the premise to this flick.
The movie is just another Texas Chainsaw Massacre, broken down car on the back roads causes girls to go to this guy's house. Maybe the flick wouldn't have been as trite if there was a story to it, or even if they didn't focus on the centipede. Have it be this "will we see it or won't we" moment added onto the tail end of a thriller story rather than this empty shell of a plot.
There's suppose to be a sequel, or another "half" to this story, which is gonna be hard if you know how this one ends.
Hey Parker, how was Salo? I've always been interested in seeing if I could watch it, but figured at the end of the day I'd be watching for the exploitation factor and I wouldn't be any more knowledgeable about film, afterwards.

I really can't take that as criticism at all. It's a genre film. Asking the director/writer of a genre film what inspired them is a ridiculous question, IMO. It is made to be gross. Pretty simple. You're not going to get a bigger audience if you have a grand philosophical point to you movie.
Sure, genre fans might appreciate that aspect, but it won't draw in people who don't care for that sort of movie in the first place.
If you haven't seen "In My Skin", I would suggest you check it out. I think it is a good example of this. Ultimately it is a pretty serious movie about people with body-issue disorders, but is very graphic and unsettling.

Ugh. That's a tattoo someone will regret in 10 years.
And this just ain't a movie that lends itself to merchandising well.
I had thought for sure I had come back in here after watching this.
Anyways, saw it, thought it was pretty great. Especially for a horror movie nowadays. The whole human centipede thing is the hook to get people to see it but it really doesn't have much to do with the story. It's just the "creative" way the crazy doctor keeps them locked up. Any other movie with the same formula could have been called "The Locked Basement" or "Handcuffs!" The restraint they used for such an obvious "shocker" was just masterful. An the ending...Jesus! How bleak and terrifying and perfect!
I do hope if they make a sequel or whatever for this that they don't do the whole Centipede thing again. Even if it is with more people. It's just rehashing the same thing. I don't know though, maybe there could be something else to do with it. I'd just rather see some other "hook."
Hey Parker, how was Salo? I've always been interested in seeing if I could watch it, but figured at the end of the day I'd be watching for the exploitation factor and I wouldn't be any more knowledgeable about film, afterwards.
Salo is just indescribable. Where Human Centipede is a horror movie, Salo is a horrific movie. The closest thing I can think to compare it to, would be to just watch the concentration camp scenes from Schindler's List, over and over, for two hours. And yet the way it's filmed and scored and plotted out is all an artistic marvel.
I had a thread for it a couple years ago. I'll see if i can find it to repost the review I did back then.
Holly shit...Why do movies like this exist.
And that doctor should know better than to think that one person can not live off the excrement of another. Wonder where he went to school?
