Wow, now this is the movie to see if you are really in for a surprise of something never seen before. The Human Centipede. I have never seen a movie like this in my life! However, I'm glad I saw it and it's not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. In this review, I will talk about the premise of the story, the crazy scientist who performed this procedure and the outcome of the movie. If you do plan on seeing this movie, I recommend you not read this review until after.
Okay, the movie starts somewhere in Germany and these two girls Lindsay (Ashley C. Williams) and Jenny (Ashlynn Yennie) are on vacation getting ready to head over to a party. Naturally, they both get lost in the woods when their car gets a flat. Not able to call for help, they end up walking on foot, having no idea where to go. When finally just deciding to go back to the car, both of them get lost along the way. Anyway, with nowhere else to go, they end up finding this house in the middle of the woods and decide to go in. Of course, this is a big mistake...one they will regret for the rest of their lives...
The man who lets them in, is none other than a severely deranged and mad scientist Dr. Heiter (Dieter Laser). At first, everything seems to be fairly normal. But this dude has a plan. His plan is to make a human centipede. So, when offering these lost girls a glass of water, he secretly puts something in the drinks. Meanwhile, as these girls pass out he takes them to a secret lab where he them performs an operation where he connects three human
beings together and make them into a human centipede. As each person is injected with some kind of solution that numbs their entire body so they won't feel the procedure, Lindsay manages to escape and runs for her life. As Heiter is looking for her throughout his house, Lindsay gets Jenny out of the operating room and makes a run for it and carries her on her back. Heiter was there waiting all along and shoots Lindsay with a tranquilizer gun, thus allowing him to continue the procedure. Heiter cuts the knees
of the three people, and puts an incision on the mouths of the women so they are connected through the ass of the the ones in front of them. Since Lindsay attempted to escape, she is in the middle. Meaning that she has to consume the waste of the person in front of her, while the person behind her consumes hers. It's quite sick.Now, these three humans are the pet of this deranged anti-social man. Finally, some cops arrive and ask questions about the whereabouts of these missing people. The man himself acts totally oblivious and does get a little impatient with these cops and just tells them to get out of the house. They return, and eventually hear screaming in the house. Offering a cup of tea to one of the cops, which is of course poisoned and dies. The other, catching on and not drinking anything. His partner eventually dies and has the same reaction that the girls did in the beginning of the film. Anyway, as the cop searches for answers and comes back with a warrant, he now is aware of what Heitner is doing and eventually shoots him, but not before dying himself and falling into a pool of blood.
Meanwhile, while all this is happening, the head of the cenitipide, an Asian dude, eventually kills himself and realizes that it's not worth living being treated like an animal. He slits his throat and dies. The girls behind him are of course scared out of their minds. Jenny, the girl at the end, dies of unknown reasons. I'm guessing it is because she ate shit that was digested twice. In any event, the film ends with Lindsay stuck in the middle of two dead bodies and there is nothing left for her to do but cry. Of course she cannot cry out loud since her face is attatched to this dead person's ass, but she does pant and this is where the film ends.
Wow, this movie really was quite a movie to see. I wish I had seen it sooner than I did, but to be honest, what with all the hype about the film and all, I guess I was expecting far more than I got. But, still, I'm certainly in no rush to see this movie again. Make sure you eat well before seeing this film. It will certainly make you sick. But once you start watching it, you can't stop!
A sequel of this movie will be hitting theaters next month. It's already banned in England due to it's horrid subject matter, but I'm sure just by looking at the poster, there is no need to wonder why. The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence) will be released in theaters October 7th, 2011. Stay tuned!
