Wow..That is is really creepy. Can you imagine that really happening? Reminds me of some movie, can't remember if it's one of the Creep shows or Tales of the Darkside, where a man finds out his wife is cheating and then switches the heads of his wife and her lover. But this movie is definitely creepier.

[glow=red,2,300]Warning: Contains Spoilers[/glow]
I actually saw this on OnDemand. It is literally a disgusting film and everyone might say I'm crazy because I liked it. And for two reasons:
1. Dieter Laser's performance as the sick Dr. Heiter. He moves this character to the top of the mad scientist list. He gives off the creepy, cold, sinister look. When I first saw him on screen, I swear he looked like a mixure of the Tall Man (not Angus Scrimm, but the sinister Tall Man look) and Christopher Walken.
2. The plot is new. Nowadays, movies have similar plots or are remakes, but this movie is creative. I was reading through the threads on IMDB about this film and to me it seems that they are bashing it because of the torture and disgust-ness. Then why do they praise The Devil's Rejects? They seem to bash the scene where the first segment of the "centipede" is forced to defecate in the second segment's mouth. Yes, it's gross, but look at the film in it's creativeness. Horror movies today just seem to be slasher flicks. It seems to me people don't want to see what new things directors can come up with.
The film also has its fair share of stupid moments. When you get a flat tire, and want to go for help, it's best to walk down the road, not through the woods. Also, when you have the chance to kill the doctor, don't just stab him in the knee with a scalpel and bite his neck, kill the mother f**ker! That is just to name a few.
Overall, I'll give this movie 7/10. This is just my opinion about the film. It's not supposed to be a review since I don't write them very well..

I finally saw the movie. It's gross and disgusting but believe it or not, I actually expected it to be worse. I thought Dieter Laser was great. Very sinister looking. The flat tire scene was stupid and I thought the girls acting in the beginning was a little weak. I actually had to pause it for a few minutes when they became the "human centipede". It made me a little sick. Yeah, everyone is going to think I'm crazy too Natalie but I liked it too.

I read a lot of actresses walked out during the readings. I think the front guy got the best deal. Canβt wait to see the 2nd sequence.

I must confess... I saw this film and thought it brilliant for a multitude of reasons, two of which Natalie posted earlier in this thread.
No one else I've encountered in person shared this. In fact, several bad arguments have stemmed from it at work. Anyone else see it?

The Human Centipede, a 2010 horror film in which a scientist stitches kidnap victims together, was proudly touted as "the most horrific film ever made".
But its Dutch director, Tom Six, may have gone too far in the follow-up, because the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has denied The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) an 18 certificate for fears it poses a "real risk" to cinemagoers.
The BBFC refusal means it cannot be legally supplied anywhere in the UK β even on DVD or download.
In the sequel, a man becomes erotically obsessed with a DVD copy of the original film β in which the victims are surgically stitched together mouth to anus β and decides to recreate the idea.
The film then focuses on his fantasies and the torture he inflicts. I've just removed some of this in case it offends anyone or breaches any regs
The BBFC described the central plot of the film as the "sexual arousal of the central character at both the idea and the spectacle of the total degradation, humiliation, mutilation, torture and murder of his naked victims".
It took the rare move of refusing to classify the film and explaining that no amount of cuts would allow them to give it a certificate.
"There is little attempt to portray any of the victims in the film as anything other than objects to be brutalised, degraded and mutilated for the amusement and arousal of the central character, as well as for the pleasure of the audience," the BBFC said.
The board also said The Human Centipede II may breach the Obscene Publications Act, and "poses a real, as opposed to a fanciful, risk that harm is likely to be caused to potential viewers".
Only 11 films have been banned outright by the BBFC in its 99-year history, the most recent being Grotesque, a 2009 Japanese horror film whose premise was likewise deemed dangerously offensive.
"The chief pleasure on offer," said BBFC director David Cooke at the time, "seems to be wallowing in the spectacle of sadism (including sexual sadism) for its own sake."
Grotesque's director, Koji Shiraishi, responded warmly to the ban, saying he was "delighted and flattered ... since the film is an honest, conscientious work, made to upset the so-called moralists".
Last year the organisation demanded an extensive edit totalling 49 cuts to A Serbian Film, another hardcore torture movie, before it was passed with an 18 certificate.
But the publicity surrounding the BBFC's action was feared to have increased the film's reach.
Similar fears surrounded the release of the first Human Centipede film, whose content was vigorously defended by Six in interviews.
The director also promised then that part one would be "My Little Pony compared with part two".
Of the 11 films the BBFC has banned, eight have since been passed uncut, among them Tod Browning's Freaks and Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

I'm a bit weary of this... the reason I enjoyed the first one so much was BECAUSE it horrified you with its ideas more than its visuals. It's what you didn't see that was so horrifying.
Time will tell... was really hoping the Doctor from the first one would be returning. He was so very entertaining.
