The Human Centipede (First Sequence)
April. 26,2010 RDuring a stopover in Germany in the middle of a carefree road trip through Europe, two American girls find themselves alone at night when their car breaks down in the woods. Searching for help at a nearby villa, they are wooed into the clutches of a deranged retired surgeon who explains his mad scientific vision to his captives' utter horror. They are to be the subjects of his sick lifetime fantasy: to be the first to connect people, one to the next, and in doing so bring to life "the human centipede."

Awesome Movie
I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
These films have been out there for awhile, daring people to check them out. Written and directed and produced by Tom Six, this is a lackluster attempt at a horror/disturbing film. I actually felt ashamed at myself for even viewing this disaster. There was absolutely no real true dialogue, no suspense, no real horror, just simple, disgust. The plot is VERY lame, very simple. A renowned Dr of separation of Siamese twins is deranged and hellbent on reversal, making people conjoined to form a human centipede. So he kidnaps people, holds them prisoner, and mutilates them, conjoins them for his sick pleasure. Tremendously laughable acting, horrid editing, painful to watch with any real enthusiasm. I give it a 3
Don't watch this movie unless you have a weird fetish for seeing people pooping in each others mouths! This movie is disgusting and disturbing! Yes it is original but not in a sane way. All I want is just to forget about this movie.
I went into this motion picture with low expectations and an open heart. Boy was I surprised with what I was rewarded. This gentle and tender little number was all I could ask for in a film. Comedy? Check. Drama? Check. Romance, double check. It never leaves a spot dry. You'll walk out of this one dabbing your eyes and nursing your cock. Tom Six - you have traversed all lines on which the famed directors of old would never dare to cross. Francis Ford Coppola? A fucking bean counter compared to this cinematic master. Dieter Laser. Where do I even begin? He's a chameleon in this role, completely slips into the skin of Dr. Heiter and makes it his own. Obviously credit needs to be given to Six for the opulence of the role, yet here Laser can be compared to the likes of De Niro in The Deer Hunter or Brando in On the Waterfront. What masterful work. The words "Feed her" will swim through my dreams. Just stunning. Of course there'll always be the critics - the naysayers who want this gem to be hidden under the monopolistic pillars of Hollywood. What a crime. This painting should be studied as the work of art it is. Truly worthy of cinema.
Of course the bad guy's nowhere around when the main girl manages to evade him early on and earn a chance to run away because she stops and makes the ever-typical decision, "I can't leave my friend," and then suddenly IS there to stop them both once she has her around her shoulder. And unlike the newest The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, does she end up regretting that idiotic decision? In the worst way. The Japanese guy goes through the trouble of coming up with the plan of grabbing the scalpel and hiding while the bad guy's talking to the cops upstairs, only to set the group up for failure by biting the guy's neck NEXT to the jugular so that it merely takes a chunk flesh away but clearly isn't spurting any blood and leaving the scalpel in the guy's SHIN (harmless) as he leads the group up the stairs. He didn't have to end up cutting his throat to avoid a standoff with the bad guy had he rationally assumed he wasn't dead by having a scalpel in his shin and a chunk of flesh from the side of his neck gone, or at least taken the scalpel WITH him.
