A work of sadistic and disgusting genius.

How good can a movie called "The Human Centipede" possibly be? Not good enough for most people.Film critic Roger Ebert awarded the film 0 out of 4 stars and the movie only scored a mere 5.1 rating on IMDB.Despite the negativity around the film, I still wanted to see it.Let this be a warning to the people who are interested in seeing this movie: It's not all sunshine and rainbows.This is a sadistic and sometimes really messed up movie that features one of the most unique yet disturbing operations in history.There's a German doctor who's obsessed with his passion to make things out of living organisms that even Buffalo Bill couldn't possibly think of.His first attempt to make a siamese triplet involved 3 rottweilers tied together via mouth and anus.This experiment was a failure, but when 2 girls who get lost in the middle of nowhere show up on his doorstep, he thinks that this is his time to shine.He drugs the 2 women and brings home a japanese man he shot with a dart.He then shows a slideshow that explains the experiment that the 3 people will go under.It's called the human centipede.How original! Why didn't I think of that? The human centipede involves exactly what the surgeon did to his dogs.To explain how it works, he puts one person in front and attaches another person's mouth to the anus of the person in the front.He does the same thing to the person in the back.It would work in a way so that when the first person ate, it would enter the mouth of the 2nd person, then it would enter and leave the person in the back.Sucks for them.Despite some of the bad acting from the 2 central female characters that eventually get put in the human centipede, I enjoyed the movie for what it was.It's definetly sick and disgusting at parts, but the actor who played the German surgeon did a very good job at playing a man who's fantasy involved doing strange things with other people's flesh.While the level of sickness doesn't match up to "Cannibal Holocaust", "The Human Centipede" does exactly what "Cannibal Holocaust" did.It went to extreme levels at times even though it's one of those movies that you need to look past from the gory scenes and appreciate the effort that went into the film.If you think you can stomach it, go ahead and see it.

Grade: B+
