It is playing a midnight weekend gig here in a few weeks. I've also recently read about Serbian Movie, which has piqued my interest despite even the most weathered gorehounds warnings against it.

Possible sick mofo reporting for duty.

Re: Human Centipede (What?)
 

I just read the plot summary on wikipedia. Grosssssss....

Re: Human Centipede (What?)
 

Yeah I may check this out. Tonight I went to a Midnite showing of "Secretary" (Spader 2002) at The Nuart here in LA and I forgot how cool Arthouse/Cult film Midnite shows are. :up:

Re: Human Centipede (What?)
 

I did too. Glad I did as I doubt I will take the time to watch the movie as apparently



Furthermore, as opposed to trying to make something truly scary and disturbing, that summary just gives off the vibe that it wants to be gross for the sake of being gross.

Re: Human Centipede (What?)
 

So I've noticed a trend lately with IFC acquiring films that have a really nasty edge to them.

Re: Human Centipede (What?)
 

I have too and I say it's awesome :up:

Re: Human Centipede (What?)
 

I haven't seen the film, but from the interviews I read the film is pretty minimal in showing the "Human Centipede" digestive system working. Oddly enough shooting for the idea that your mind fills in all the disgusting blanks.

Many of the articles I've read it say other than the stitches on each of the persons' mouths, not much is really shown.

Re: Human Centipede (What?)
 

I don't care how it leads up to the gimmick topic but I really want to know how they get out of that problem.

Re: Human Centipede (What?)
 

I'll see it.

Re: Human Centipede (What?)
 

It doesn't seem like they do...

in the first film.

Re: Human Centipede (What?)
 

Might want to spoilerize that one, even if the second half of the title is "First Sequence."

How in the world they intend to get the idea for the sequel to work is beyond me.

Re: Human Centipede (What?)
 

For those of you who live near San Francisco, the dates for the Bay Area showings are up.

May 7th + May 8th @ The Bridge Theater (Midnight Showing)

I have plans both days, but I might have to cancel my May 7th plans to see this :)

Re: Human Centipede (What?)
 

LA Midnight shows at The Nuart


Fri, May 7: Premiere! The Human Centipede
Fri, May 14: Premiere! The Human Centipede

Re: Human Centipede (What?)
 

I am seeing this film tomorrow night. Can't wait!

We are fixing up some segmented food items to get the theme right for the evening.

Re: Human Centipede (What?)
 

Oh man, May 7th is the day before my birthday. I may have to go to this midnight show. :lol:

Re: Human Centipede (What?)
 

Just saw the movie. It's a simple concept, simply told. You get to see a 3-person "human centipede," and the maniac who creates it, in a battle for survival with a couple of stupid cops in a giant house in the middle of nowhere. The actresses' performances aren't very good but that's understandable considering what sports they had to be......but the guy who plays the maniac is amazing. If Lance Henriksen and Udo Kier had a love child, it would be this guy. It's shot very well on a small budget and you can't beat an original premise these days.....

Re: Human Centipede (What?)
 

You know what? I kind of thought he had a Lance Henriksen look to him. His face just reminded me of him.

Re: Human Centipede (What?)
 

I'd like to know what in the world they are going to do for the third one

Re: Human Centipede (What?)
 

I can't shake the feeling that is one of those "fishing for controversy" films. What'd the writer/director do, go down a list or something?

Re: Human Centipede (What?)
 

One day I'll get to this film...it's crazy as fuck concept intrigues me but not enough to watch it right now.

Re: Human Centipede (What?)
 

Even though the maniac is German, and the centipede is made out of one Japanese guy (from Osaka, given his dialect) and two American girls, the film doesn't really exploit history to the extent it could have. The Japanese guy calls the German a Nazi at one point but obviously we're not dealing with a WWII vet.

Also, the film is quite restrained in odd ways. There is nudity but in no way exploitative, and the violence level is small-scale, with a lot happening offscreen. Technically, this could be an R-rated film but its bizarre concept and vague indirect satirical tone could make this a glossy Texas Chain Saw Massacre-type of film.....more notorious for its title and its suggestive quality than anything else.

Re: Human Centipede (What?)
 

After viewing the trailer, I think this looks more like the plot of a South Park episode featuring the Marlon Brando like doctor who wanted to graft butts on everything.

Re: Human Centipede (What?)
 

hmm, i thought for sure that given that the landmark theater has a strict 'no one under 18 admitted' for this film, i was sure it be as graphic as can be.

You have the same birthday as me!
