"100% medically accurate." (The Human Centipede).
I know this movie creep a lot of people out. Heck, this movie even grossed people out. And I don't blame them. This movie is freaking sick! Everything about it is sick sick sick! BUT....that's what also makes it a work of art.
Now.....people will probably look at me like I just arose from the dead when I call this film a work of art. Before you try to rip my head off and turn me into the headless huntchman, let me explain....
For us horror movie fans, we look for a movie to do one of two things: scare us or gross us out. A bonus would be if it did both. You have to be a big horror movie fan to take this film for what it really is. When you first watch the film, you will think; "Dude, what the F---!" Your eyeballs will pop out of your sockets. Your mouth will extend. Your stomach will drop. Everything around you stops. And you become one alone with the movie.
With that said, here goes....
Put yourself in this situation. You and a friend are driving, but your car breaks down, and you're in the middle of nowhere. Typical horror movie stuff, right? So, the two of you thinks it's wise to get out of the car and search for help. I mean, what else are you going to do? The phone is dead. The car is toast. The logical thing to do would be to find the nearest house or place where you can use a phone to call for help. I don't know about you....but if I had to choose between a house and a store, I would choose a store. On the flip side, there may not be a store for miles depending on your location.
So you're walking. It's dark out. You come across a house. Yes! Help is on the way! Or....maybe not. Yeah, see, what you did is you chose the WRONG house. But heck, how could you have known, right?
You are greeted by a man. This guy already seems off. No warming invitation. No sympathy for your troubles. Very quiet. Maybe you woke him up out of his sleep and he's a cranky bastard. Maybe he was dreaming about unicorns and rainbows and you've disturbed his happy dream when knocked on the door. Shame on you!
But no worries...because he will make sure you pay for that. From this point on it's all downhill for you, sweetheart. You are now is a nightmarish dream. At least...you wish it was a dream. See, Dr. Heiter has been working on a masterpiece experiment....and you have just become his subject.
Dr. Heiter, played by Dieter Laser, is awesome in this movie. I may be demented for saying that, but it's true. The story, the plot, the acting, is all two thumbs up. It's just the concept that's screwed up and makes it lose one thumb.
The Human Centipede. It's all in the title. That's all you need to know.
So....brace yourselves, and watch it on Netflix.
Peace.
