Review of The Human Centipede (First Sequence) (2009) by Toolrool — 05 Jan 2011
Tell you what. If you don't like this then you don't 'get' the whole body-horror genre, and David Cronenberg may as well have made 'Boo!' films like Halloween. Watch the film, which is deliberately minimalist, and imagine yourself in the middle-girl's position.
That's why the film works. This is a horror movie which reaches inside you and twists and tugs at your primal fears, not just the fears that occupy your conscious mind. This is true horror, which didn't even need gore to work.
This film is more Clive Barker than Steven King, and I can give it no higher praise than that.
