Film 4: The Human Centipede (2009)


Well this is an intriguing one. A deluded scientist who despises humans embarks on a horrific quest to create a human mutilation of 3 humans, of which the digestive system is how they are connected.
Without much prior reading, I was expecting something more gory, with the consequences of this joining system being mor concentrated on. However, it is less about the gore, and more about the sick and twisted concept and how it develops. Dieter Laser, who plays the creepy doctor, pulls off the character perfectly, and really does make the film as horrific as it entails.
The concept is so convincing, it makes me wonder whether some 'real' twisted person out there might try and actually give this a go. Let's hope not.
