DVDs & Films Forum - RE: The Human Centipede (*that* horror flick) - Page 3
Elite Donator
I had to look Stuart Gordon up and started thinking "This was way more horrific than Re-Animator" - then I noticed he wrote "The Dentist"...
That's a movie I STILL haven' seen. I don't like dentists at the best of times, and I always figured if I saw that, I might never go to one again, even if my life depended on it! lol
So I see where you're coming from.
And yes, the lead part was very OTT, I think it was played just right as you can't take someone that warped seriously. Had it been filmed in the 80s, I could have seen Klaus Kinski taking that role. (Crawlspace, anyone?)

The Dentist is really similar in that it's carried by the villain, even though he's not in the slightest bit sympathetic, and it's really good fun, if you can get past the traumatic idea of it!
The Dentist 2- "You know the drill!"
Can definitely understand anyone being put off by the concept of human centipede though, but for me it was nowhere near approaching the shock marketing strategy behind it.

Watched this last night (sped through most of it) have to say what a pile of crap

My wife and I just watched it, and really enjoyed it. Starts off like a cheesy horror movie full of cliches, then we thought it was really interesting, exciting, and funny in places.
Missus said it reminded her of Cronenburg, and I thought it did have some Fly/Naked Lunch elements to it.

I finally saw this last week as a friend at work lent me the dvd and have to say its pretty good, yeah the subject matter is pretty grim but its nowhere near as voilent and disgusting as I expected...or as my friend had described, its very much a case of a 'thinking you saw way more than you actually did' kinda film
Yeah the main character is very OTT and it reminds me a lot of chesy 80's horror so maybe thats why I liked it
Yes!...yes!...Feed her!....Feed her! lol
