Okay! There has been huuuuuuge talk about this movie haha. About how disturbing and disgusting it was. How people threw up watching it, left the theatre, turned it off, didn’t make it through…so, naturally I had to see it. See if it lived up to the title of one of the most disturbing movies of all time.
My first complaint would have to be how typical everything is…starts off with two young tourists…women…whose car breaks down. Oh, and its raining :P
They find a house, and whose inside? A creepy German surgeon who has a guy locked in his basement strapped to a medical bed and pumped with random shit, tubes all over the place.
Obviously, the girls find themselves strapped to beds beside the guy…and, unfortunately for the guy, he doesn’t match up with the two girls…so…buh bye :(
We get a little Asian guy now, and man…he is feisty! Haha he does NOT stop screaming and yelling in like Korean or something the entire movie!
The doctor then proceeds to tell the three of them how he plans to attach them via their digestive tract and cut the muscles in their knee joints to make a human centipede. Food entering through the first person, traveling through the second, and exiting the third…their knees like, butchered, so they have to choice but to crawl.
He performs the actual surgery fairly quickly into the movie…probably a third of the way in. The next third of the movie is him interacting with this thing he created…
I read that this was supposed to be a dark comedy :P and…the more I get over the ‘what the fuck’ thoughts, I see that it really did have its twisted funny moments :P
There is one point, before he sews them together, that the one girl escapes…she is running all around the house, until she runs into the pool room and falls into the pool. Obviously, the doctor catches up with her…and he makes this very serious and intense speech about why he is glad she tried to escape and blah blah blah…and he ends this speech by saying…something along the lines of: “Do you know the real reason why I am glad you tried to escape me?…. Because now…I know, you will be the middle piece!”
Omg…I found that so funny! I seriously, could not stop laughing! Haha.
Anyway, there is another scene when he is trying to train the centipedey thing to fetch the newspaper…its just…extremely humorous :P
I also absolutely loved the ending…the cops come. They come because of the missing girls, and the doctor, being the dumbass he is, totally blows his cover. So…they leave to get a warrant, and he goes to get the centipede…well, the asian guy, in the front, stabs him in the legs…so, we have this centipede and this legless doctor, chasing, crawling, all over the house :P
Finally, the centipede goes into this room, and the doctor is right behind them…Asian dude gets a lamp…cause he wants to smash the window to get out…but stupidly, turns towards the doctor…and when you think that he MIGHT do something smart (aka smash the doctor in the face with the lamp) He decides it would be a great time to do a speech! After he does his speech about I don’t even know…I was laughing too hard…something about human nature, and society, and his sister, and humanity…he takes a piece of glass and slits his throat. Well, that’s just great…
Now, we have a centipede with a dead front…perfect. You dumb shit!
Cops come back. Try and find the doctor…the doctor shoots the one. The other one, the stupid one, goes and sees ‘ohh a gunshot…lemme go and take a peek’ Well, no shit. He gets shot too. BUT he is able to simultaneously shoot the doctor too…so, we killed two idiotic birds with one stone there.
Now we’re back…and guess who is looking just a bit blue? The back piece of the centipede…perfect timing! Her mouth/the other girls ass is like infected…so, that’s not so good…and basically, she dies. Leaving the middle piece, yes, the feisty one from the beginning, alone in a house with two dead cops, a dead doctor, and a dead asian sewed to her mouth and her dead best friend sewed to her ass :P
I have to say, I actually found this movie quite humorous. And the less serious I take it, the more I enjoy it.

Finally! Someone who gets that the movie isn't meant to be taken seriously. It is supposed to be a fun and entertaining ride. We found it to be funny too and the parts you laughed at we did too, though maybe not as hard as you did.
