Highly Overrated But Still Good

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

This was one of the most disgusting films I have ever seen in my entire life. It featured things I did not think I would ever see in a movie. I would advise never watching this movie in order to spare your sanity. I am only giving this film a 2/10 because the 3rd movie combined the sickening aspects of this film with even worse acting and writing. Again, do not watch this movie.

i can understand why a lot of people didn't like it, but it was supposed to be a trash AND gore movie. it's disgusting, there's no "hero" or someone who you should feel sad about it, unless the people who became a centipede...? will, i don't like to spoil everything, but if you enjoy horror movies like Man Bites Dog, Cannibal Holocaust, etc, it's a movie that you'd certainly will enjoy. it's fu#king gruesome and well done. if you're a fan of Scream movies, don't even try it, you'll be very uncomfortable.

The protagonist Martin is quite short, morbidly obese, and seemingly without friends of any sort. His job is as security at a dreary parking garage. During his copious free time, he obsesses on the first Human Centipede film. How is that for self-referential?Martin's goal is to create a centipede from 12 people rather than 3. The first big block of the film is about Martin's acquisition of enough live bodies. There is a parallel sideshow about his being sexually abused by his father, verbally abused by his mother (since father is in jail for the abuse), and his shrink's desire to bring him new abuse. Sigh. His mother tries to kill him herself. She also sets the psychotic neighbor (biker with loud music, lives above them) on him; he beats the daylights out of Martin with boots and fists. The list goes on well past these points.A bit over halfway through the film, Martin meets Miss Yennie (the actress, not the character) from the first film. There is a clash of worlds. She expects to discuss a role in a new film. She gets to see Martin's handiwork instead.Does anyone get out alive?As a film about crushing the marginalised, this is fairly effective. As an extreme horror film, this is a complete failure. The endless use of the first film destroys any sense of engaging the viewers: it is all explicitly fakery.

I think we need a discussion about genres since anything dark or disturbing is being labeled as "horror." I remember when horror movies were about being scared. I remember when movies were made in such a way that you would worry about going to sleep at night or the movie forced you to look over your shoulder as you walked down the road because *insert supernatural bad guy* might get you.Now horror is just about the shock value. Even the corniest horror movies have elements of degradation, violation, and repulsiveness which did not exist some twenty years ago.There is something seriously wrong with the world when someone can not only think up this kind of movie, but get money to actually make it. Someone opened their wallet and said "Sure, I'll help finance a movie about sewing people's lips to someone else's anus. How much do you need?" I feel bad for the actors who are obviously looking for work experience, still, it's hard for me to believe that they didn't think twice before selling themselves out like this.It all feels like sado-masochism to the extreme, where people are enjoying violating people and making people feel disgusted in the extreme.
