Review of The Human Centipede (First Sequence) (2009) by Frostbite — 13 Oct 2010

I'm not gonna follow the trend of these reviews and say that this is a horrible horror movie. It actually isn't, it just suffers from a bad use of its budget, which is a shame, because the idea of a, "Human Centipede," is just the disgustingly nasty thing the horror genre needs.

The story basically follows a crazy ex-surgeon in Europe who kidnaps two American female tourists and some Japanese guy. You can pretty much tell what is gonna happen to them just by looking at the title, and yeah, he does turn the three people into a human centipede.

And yeah, it is pretty effing nasty, and you might gag more than once. Without going into too much detail, I'll just say that they are fused from mouth to rear end, so going number 2 isn't pleasant but quite graphic (Yeah, they show it, and that is one of the nastiest parts of the whole movie.

) but the fact that this movie does something any other horror film hasn't shows that it is unique. And unique is something much-needed with all these crappy horror flicks managing to crawl out of the Sci-Fi channel and onto the store shelves where they suffocate the stuff that is managing to separate itself from the group.

I'm actually not gonna recommend this movie to anyone, but if you are willing to manage through some sick stuff then I guess this is worth a shot. Otherwise, just stay in your safe cubby-hole and don't try anything new, that's what you have been taught.
