He made a human centipede just so he could come home and say, "Hey look, I have a human centipede how cool is that?" Or if he were having a bad day say to the two in the rear. "Bet that tastes like sh*t, huh?" and laugh evilly.

LOL! Diva, you are not going to believe this but I think I saw your movie!

I believe it's called "Infestation". Giant bugs turn town into zombies (some of them are half human-half insect). The climax takes place in the nest where the protagonists have to destroy the queen.

You need to check it out and tell me if I'm right.

Yea. That sounds about right!

I'll Netflix it and tell you if that's the one!


***I see that it was released in 2009... The film I shot was in 2003, so I',m not too sure. And they have no preview on Netflix.

We'll see!

Oh, 2003. I don't think it's the same one.

Rats! I was so excited for a minute there.

Me too! But it does sound the same.

Who knows how long it took them to finish it. We were shooting in an old porn studio.

I didn't want to sit on any of the furniture.

So I'm a little late to the party.
I am profoundly terrified and frustratingly weirded out. There may be some comedic undertone but just....why?

Knowing me, morbid curiousity will eventually win out on this one.

Can't make me.

Let's just say that the first person in that chain is the lucky one as far as that goes, Stockard.

The little "100% Medically Accurate" box is like all those "BASED ON A TRUE STORY" titles that were thrown on all the '70s exploitation films like "The Legend of Boggy Creek" and "Macon County Line."

I'm a little surprised to read Glieberman referring to himself as a "depravity head." I wonder how he'll respond to "A Serbian Film," which may never be shown in this country and which, among lots of debased ideas apparently designed just to give the odious Eli Roth a series of erections, creates a new urban legend porn subgenre: "newborn snuff porn." If you haven't read about the movie, you're lucky. Don't go looking for it. And if you stumble across a link for the preview, don't click on it. Seriously, you can't unsee it. It makes the "Human Centipede" trailer look like a simple game of Twister gone horribly wrong.

So true about the "100% medically accurate" claim, Namo.

I just saw a story about this specific advertising claim on the IMDb headlines today:

"But by wrapping it with the brash insistence that it could be '100 percent medically accurate,' it tries to plant the seeds that this weird and unlikely concept could be possible—which takes it out of the realm of movie lunacy and into a darker realm of science gone awry."

In other words, the movie is even scarier when you sell it as something that could, conceivably, happen."

"It is smartly attempting to stand out from the pack with this marketing gem—however accurate that is," Martin says.

The "100 percent medically accurate" sell actually comes from a long line of shockeroo gimmicks that horror producers have used over the years.

"This harkens back to the glory days of H. Kroger Babb and William Castle and all of those charming hucksters who lured people into theaters with outlandish claims and grand promises of what they were putting on screen," Hall says.

"You don't see that kind of old-fashioned marketing tomfoolery anymore in film promotions."

The Bore Witch Project (was that what it was called?) did some fine huckstering too.

Posted: 5/2/10 at 1:00pm

THE DUMB BITCH PROJECT had an amazing marketing team behind it. I don't think any movie has topped that since it came out.

[FindingNamo]

Posted: 5/2/10 at 1:05pm

The marketing, you mean. Just about every movie that came out has topped The Glaring Zilch Project in every other aspect, up to and including Furry Vengeance.

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 5/2/10 at 1:06pm

Yeah, the marketing. It really was brilliant. Too bad it was wasted on such an immense piece of trash.

Oh, why didn't I take your advice and not watch A Serbian Movie Trailer? You cannot unsee some of those images.

This torture porn/snuff aspect to horror films, I just don't get.

[strummergirl]

Posted: 5/2/10 at 1:46pm

The trailer for Serbian Film does not even show the absolute worst parts of the film that are absolutely appalling and will never make me want to see it. That being said the trailer itself was a turn-off. I don't get the torture porn either.

[StockardFan]

Posted: 5/2/10 at 1:51pm

I definitely don't think I want to see the Serbian one.

[SNAFU]

Posted: 5/2/10 at 2:36pm

Strummer, I saw a 7 minute trailer... It flashed on a LOT, enough to know what horrors the film depicts! I do not see where this film will ever be released here. Not unless it is cut down quite a bit!

[StarStruckGB]

Granted I am a pansy but I had trouble sleeping last night from the trailer alone.
Damn my morbid curiousity...

The Serbian one or the Centipede one?

[strummergirl]

Posted: 5/2/10 at 7:27pm

Serbian Film's red band trailer makes definitely trumps The Human Centipede, though I write this knowing a lot more about what happens in these films and the worst parts were not shown in the trailers.

[StockardFan]

Posted: 5/2/10 at 7:29pm

OK, I'm a dumbass and looked up the Serbian trailer on youtube. It was only a minute and a half long so I didn't really get that much about it.

[SNAFU]

Posted: 5/2/10 at 7:52pm

Stockard, there were some disturbing scenes of pedophila/incest and a

brief glimpse of what I assume was sex with a newborn. Later the dead infant was seen.
