Review of The Human Centipede (First Sequence) (2009) by Filipeneto — 05 Oct 2018

I'm still wondering why this movie was made. There is nothing good here. The movie is gore horror and is based on this: two girls end up getting lost and knock on the door of an old man who is, actually, a totally crazy old doctor who will arrest the girls with another boy and try to create a "centipede" by sewing their mouth to the rectum of the person in front of them. Sounds crazy enough?

The script simply runs over medical or anatomy issues without any consideration for our intelligence. Clearly in desperation, the movie simply wants to shock. Its sick, its repulsive, but the truth is that it also brings few truly novelties that do not have equivalent in other horror films. Then you have the awful dialogues, the actors worthy of a low-budget B movie, and a flood of clichés loaded with predictability. Is it worth watching it? I don't think so.
