Never go Ass-to-Mouth

[Lt. Trull]

I enjoyed it....

But then... I was thinking.... in this part rocky horror did this... and in that part rocky horror did that... Yup theres the beginning scene... yup theres the car scene... yup theirs the running thru the woods scene... yup there's the reengineered rocky....

the only thing that was lacking was the music and the sideline actors....

 

[wamdue]

again from wikipedia

after reading the script the surgeon consulted took a very strong interest in the procedure, devising a method that he believed would work in real life.

Six claims that by using an IV drip to supplement the diet of the middle and back parts, the centipede would be able to survive for "years"

oh good, I was really hoping a surgeon would spend some time thinking about how this would work in the real world.

 

[AdmiralGarak]

I think this is the movie Doctor Forrester and TV's Frank were looking for on MST3K.

No amount of MSTing could make me watch this.

 

[Trekker4747]

I saw this on Charlie Brooker's You Have Been Watching the other night

I'd definitely watch it!

I don't really get it though, are they breathing through each others arse's?


EDIT- I just read the plot description on Wiki-

Once the operation is complete, the doctor begins training the three to perform tasks. Katsuro, as the front part of the centipede, refuses to do as he is told, and the doctor beats him. When Katsuro has to defecate, Lindsay is forced to swallow his excrement and the doctor watches with great delight.

Watch out Titantic, your 11 Oscars are surely gonna be trampled by this masterpiece!!!

This movie is going to make Avatar's box-office take look like peanuts!

Two Girls, No Cup: The Movie

More like Two Girls, One Digestive System.

 

[bigdaddy]

yes you have to wonder about the guy who came up with the idea for this movie,

Wonder no more!

The concept came from a joke that you used to make, so can you tell me how that began and how you evolved it into the concept we saw on the screen?

It began all with a very sick joke that I made with friends. When watching television or something and there was a child molester or something I'd say, "Oh they should stitch his mouth to the ass of a very, very fat truck driver, as punishment." And everyone said this was a horrible idea, and of course it is a very horrible idea, and I thought that would make a great basic idea for a horror film. So that's how it all began and then of course I began to draw how must a situation like that look. So I thought they must sit on their hands and knees behind each other, as sort of one gastric system, so to speak.

I wanted the construction to be 100% medically accurate so I consulted a real surgeon in Holland. At first he thought I was crazy because it was going against his medical oath, but later because he is a movie fan he wanted to help me. He designed a very detailed accurate operation for me as you see in the film when Dr. Heiter is showing the drawings they are real operation drawings. So this surgeon could actually make a human centipede in a hospital. Of course you'd have to be very sick as a surgeon to do it for real. Of course then you start casting.

Spoilers.... for the first film and the sequel!

[Base_Delta_Zero]

I have actually just lost three years of my life, consumed by the ... Human Centipede!

Seriously. WTF? No, I want you to answer me. W T F ?

I knew it was going to be bad, but I was thinking, haha, that's really stupid bad, not OMG, I can never unsee that shit bad.

Now, somewhere out there in the fuckedupedness of real life, some psycho with the psycho equivalent of writer's block has just been inspired by the next great thing to ruin the shit out of the lives of three clueless backbackers on holiday in Europe.

 

[Trekker4747]

The more I see of this the more I kind-of want to see it.

Here's some movie clips: (no YouTube versions near as I can find):

Clip 1

Clip 2

It looks interesting because the main actor, a poor man's Christopher Walken, looks good, the actreesses are sorta-hot and it's just such a bizzare, sick, and original concept. That it's not the usual "slasher"-type movie alone makes it interesting.

Yep, I think I'll go see this. I still think it should've gone all sick, though it'd require CG or more advanced FX work, and that the arms/legs of the victime amputated to give them a bit more "centipede-like" mobility and just to be that much more horrific.

Early reviews on Rotten Tomatoes has this movie at 61% "fresh" out of 33 reviews.

 

[The Evil Dead]

^
You'll probably get what you're hoping for. The writer/director has stated in interviews this is only the beginning, to lay the ground work for the real vile stuff in the upcoming sequel.

 

[kitsune]

Also, I can't believe anyone agreed to star in that, let alone film it.

Wikipedia provides some insight:

Additionally, the actors themselves were not presented with a completed script prior to signing onto the film, instead only being given an outline of the film's storyboard.

Me, too.

I agree. It definitely seems unique. I mean, what has the horror genre had to offer in recent years? Remakes, like this weekend's A Nightmare on Elm Street, or torture porn like Saw and Hostel. This actually looks like something new in the genre, and regardless of the subject material, which I'm sure is meant to shock you, that's pretty impressive to say in a genre that's been around for some time.

 

[JiNX-01]

Uhm...

It's either going to be really brilliant or really bad.

I don't there is an "either" here. It's going to be really bad. And, sadly, it'll make millions.

 

[Ethros]

I can't really see it getting a mainstream cinema release. I actually hope it goes straight-to-DVD in the UK, as I can see it ASAP
It is a sick and twisted concept, but it's still only a silly horror film. I'm hardly gonna take it seriously, in fact it's so ridiclious you can't really (100% medically accurate or not.) I think it would be fun to watch on a night with some buddies and a few beers

 

[JacksonArcher]

"Silly horror film"? There are people that do take horror films seriously. I mean, The Human Centipede doesn't even seem self-aware, like Zombieland or perhaps more astutely The Return of the Living Dead, and it seems to take itself very seriously, which I think means that it is hoping the viewer take it seriously. Of course not everyone is going to do that, but horror films on a whole is a genre that I think has a lot of merit.

 

[Trekker4747]

OMG! OMG!

It's not getting a theatrical release... exactly.

But it IS OnDemand! I can watch it right now!

Well, people take a lot of things way too seriously. That's their problem. The movie exists. I'll enjoy it for what it is. I'm sure it will be shite, but probably worth it for a few laughs and "eurrghh" moments

It certainly should be converted to 3-D!

 

[Myasishchev]

It almost seems like a reverse Funny Games, where, instead of playing its concept goofily yet ratcheting up the monstrosity to such terrible levels that it makes you (or is meant to make you) ashamed to enjoy stuff like this, it instead plays the most retarded concept imaginable straight, forcing a comparison to other, probably equally if less obviously goofy, films to trigger the shame reaction.

this is movie is not about child molesters

 

[melancholymecha]

maybe this will start a new horror trend, a split from the torture porn genre... freak surgery porn or something like that... just imagine the possibilties:

all kinds of forced conjoinment(like this movie does)
forced amputations
giving people extra limbs, heads, genetalia
animal body parts, human animal head/body grafts

 

[Rowan Sjet]

Saw the trailer for this earlier today, I still felt like throwing up hours later.
