This movie is a real thinker.

Not since Cronenberg was in his heyday has someone manipulated the human form for horrific effect to the extent that Six does here, not since Miike has someone created such a compelling, just-off-center view of humanity. Despite the bizarre premise, Six creates something here that feels entirely plausible, entirely real. There is no nodding to the audience, no winks. So focused is he on the reality of his premise that Six actually consulted with a practicing surgeon to ensure that his scenario was, as he proudly proclaims, one hundred percent medically accurate. It's a dedication that has yielded one of the most troubling pictures in years.


Todd Brown's take

Will Patti and Liza star in the musical version of this?

" Apparently it's not as bad as it sounds."

That's a bummer.

Frankly, I found this teaser clip to be more disturbing than the actual trailer.

So, they are all connected, but wouldn't they still have separate nerve systems and...I just don't see how this is possible. It's sick.

And how would they get liquids?

It's just too gross.

It's just.............I don't know. Can you imagine having someone's intestine shoved down your throat like that.





Wait. Never mind don't answer.

I read the plot summary on wikipedia (don't know why, since I'm just giving myself the freak out)...

SPOILER
















and it seems that the front and back person both die. So does the girl in the middle then just die a slow, horrible death from dehydration?





















And what do you even *do* with a human centipede? and why is there going to be a sequel?

What's the point?

Does having the three of them connected not require the last two to breath on their own? I'm confused about that. Does the first one do all the breathing?

[JerseyGirl2]

Posted: 4/10/10 at 2:31am

I guess they can breathe through their noses. Not that that would be a pleasant experience. Seriously... how does one bathe when attached to two other people? lol

I've seen showers that could easily accommodate the three of them. Or maybe the doctor would just hose them down.

I caught a screening of this in London about 8 months ago. It was 8.30 in the morning and there was about another 4 buyers in the audience. Two of the woman left after ten minutes leaving just two of us left.

The film itself isnt as disturbing as you may think. The worst part for me was a scene where the doctor explains to his three captives what he's planning to do to them. That was more horrific than anything else that followed. The producer Ilona Six was there and is very happy with the final result. The film is very tongue in cheek and well worth a view. Just dont est during it

Those girls seem to have studied acting with Tommy Wiseau.

Just how does one "get into character" for these roles?

I wish people would stop bumping this thread so it can fall off the boards and I can pretend it never happened.
