DVDs & Films Forum - The Human Centipede (*that* horror flick) - Page 1
Super Admin
After seeing the trailer for it on Charlie Brooker's You Have Been Watching, I really can't decide if this is a horror flick I should see because it is either genuinely hilarious, somewhat disturbing, or avoid because the trailer has all the good bits,,.

The first of three parts as well.

Robert - this is your site - when are you going to remember how to embed youtube videos into posts? 
Just copy and paste the entire url without any youtube brackets - it's so easy! 
Yikes, that's gruesome stuff!

I forget what works on the old one and doesn't, using [youtube] tags works fine on the new version!

I used to be with it, but then they changed what 'it' was.
Now, what I'm with isn't it, and what's 'it' seems weird and scary

So is it worth a watch

Not my cup of tea.

Some friends of mine (who are very much into horror films) saw it and said it was really good.

Just got up to speed with this because Total Film are bigging it up in their latest issue. Really really doesn't sound like my cuppa tea, but I'm getting mellow enough in my late forties not to get my knickers in a twist about this sort of thing.
TF are making out it's a sort of ultra-black comedy-horror, which is fine if they're reading it right. The outraged-of-Tunbridge-Wells brigade are lumping it in with the "torture porn" cycle.
Personally I don't have any problem with these movies once they're out in the wild and accepted by their target audience, I just get a bit depressed somebody could have thought the storyline up in the first place...

Perhaps less so with the sequels, but the first Saw really came across as being quite new and original. The clips and trailers made it out to be far more horrific than it actually was, a lot of the film itself was (in the same vein as Seven) implied more than shown.
My first exposure to THC's trailer really was a case of OMG I cannot believe someone has made a movie about this. But now I'm over the sock and have heard more about it, I'll definitely be getting it on DVD when it is out.
We've had a few offers to see screenings, but I've yet to go to a screening that wasn't incredibly poor in some aspect or another.
