My brother recently sent me a link to this trailer of a movie that's been out for a while now, here it is: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wmTv2nqTHo[/url] THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE A German surgeon who had been famous for separating siamese twins decides that he's been doing it the wrong way and begins researching how to connect people. He begins with a trio of dogs and then quickly moves on to people; when two American party girls traveling across Europe break down and show up at his doorstep they become the unwitting middle and end pieces of his inhuman creation. German character actor Dieter Laser plays Dr. Heiter, and the performance is nothing short of brilliant. He has a serpentine look, like an evil Christopher Walken, and he is completely and totally mad. Terrifying in the level of how unhinged he is, Laser bounces back and forth between quiet menace and bugshit insanity. And he looks amazing in a surgical coat and sunglasses while holding a rifle. Heiter is a completely iconic mad scientist, a horror archetype we see too rarely. To me Dr. Heiter is the lead character (and sort of the hero), but in the great horror tradition the protagonist is one of the girls. Ashley C. Williams is Lindsay, the girl trapped with her mouth sewn to a Japanese man's asshole and her best friend's mouth sewn to her own butt (Fantastic Fest honcho Tim League described the set up as basically 'Two girls one digestive system'), and Williams actually manages to deliver a good performance despite the fact that she spends half the movie's running time naked, on all fours and crying muffled sobs into a guy's butt cheeks. She begins the film as a vapid nobody but finds a real strength that the actress manages to display with just her eyes. The film's plot is, admittedly, light. As with any mad scientist plan, things go awry in The Human Centipede, leading to a bloody conclusion and a final moment that is haunting in a truly soul-shattering way. Director and writer Tom Six has delivered a movie that is absolutely sick, the kind of film that makes you wonder what sort of crazy shit he's up to at home. He finds the stomach-churning place where body horror and bondage meet as Heiter trains his new centipede as one would train a dog. And he takes an entirely too deep pleasure in the moments when the latter parts of the centipede receive their... nourishment. It's creepy in a truly skin-crawling way, and even though Six's compositions tend to be almost antiseptic you'll walk out of The Human Centipede (First Sequence) needing a long, hot, cleansing shower. What's amazing is that Six doesn't go overboard on the gore and viscera. That stuff is there - there's a particularly cringe-inducing tooth extraction scene - but what really gets to you is the concept and Laser's deranged domination of his unholy creation. Six could have gone bigger and wetter, but he understands that sometimes concepts and ideas are more unsettling than graphic visuals. It's fucked up, I think. It's been out for a while, and thought i'd share it with everyone here.
Looks ridiculously dumb, but somehow awesome at the same time. [editline]02:09AM[/editline] Dieter Laser, oh my god, what an amazing name
Unfortunately the search function is down. But there was a huge thread on this movie. Too late.
[QUOTE=darcy010;21731183]Unfortunately the search function is down. But there was a huge thread on this movie. Too late.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I looked. Sorry man

Choo choo! Here comes the poopie train! Seriously, this is fucking sick. And appereantly, 100% medically accurate.
OP, I'm sorry to inform you that you're about [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=823186]8 months late[/url] ;) I'm so pumped for this movie, it's gonna be AWESOME!!! :q: [editline]12:29PM[/editline] Here's another link created by me: [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=912246]Linky[/url]

I am morbidly curious.
I love Eudoxia And yeah, this movie seems pretty bad. my bro torrented it.. I might watch. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Warez" - Benji))[/highlight]
This movie seems retarded.
the ending was fucking hilarious [editline]10:29PM[/editline] seriously, it was the funniest ending ive ever seen in a horror film
What's all this "First sequence/full sequence" about?
Dieter Laser is possibly the best name for anyone ever. The only exception may be Tom Six, but we will see who is better at their job once the movie comes out. [editline]05:37PM[/editline] Also, the movie looks absolutely hilarious. I am definitely going to take my woman acquaintance to see it.
[QUOTE=Mobzor;21742896]What's all this "First sequence/full sequence" about?[/QUOTE] Because there will be a sequel where dr. Heiter makes another human centipede, sewing together [highlight]up to 13 people[/highlight] :wtc:
What the fuck? [editline]08:23PM[/editline] No, seriously, WHAT THE FUCK.
I have no desire to watch this at all, but I do want to hear the worst parts. Someone spoiler tag anything mentionable.
[QUOTE=Pretiacruento;21744709]Because there will be a sequel where dr. Heiter makes another human centipede, sewing together [highlight]up to 13 people[/highlight] :wtc:[/QUOTE] [sp] Does he die in the first one though? [/sp]
Can someone explain the ending.
I'm watching this movie Friday night with the girl I took to A Nightmare on Elm Street. She suggested this as our second date. I think I've found the one :allears: lol
[QUOTE=Pretiacruento;21744709]13 people :wtc:[/QUOTE] should be 25 :v:
The trailer was pretty fucked up. I'm looking forward to seeing if this is truly as horrifying as it's being made out to be. Though...I'm still recovering from some of the imagery from Antichrist.

It was released by the same company (IFC Films) as The Human Centipede
I think they should have the cast of friends reunited for a special episode where they get placed together in this way.
why would a motion picture like this be made what the HELL
What exactly is the appeal in filming something like this/watching something like this? Jesus fuck.
[QUOTE=Pretiacruento;21774193]"Antichrist"? Is that a movie? Never heard of it before :v:[/QUOTE] It's an art house horror film that has some pretty disturbing imagery. Willem Dafoe is really good in it though. Also, Lars Van Trier directed it with a great sense of style. Visually its captivating. But it being a horror film, it gets creepy.
Looks... Weird.
