Gore like Dead Alive (Brain Dead) is joyous fun, and it happens to be one of my favorite films. EDIT: For the record, I don't think any films should be banned or that filmmakers should be restricted. I just don't like films that don't have anything interesting to say. The Human Centipede is, IMO, one of those films. Now, the sequel seems to have very interesting things to say about fans of the first film, though if I were a fan of the first film I'd be offended that Tom Six thinks I'm a sexual deviant who mastubates with sandpaper and has sex with barbed wire. |
Re: The Human Centipede Review
I have a legit question. If the film didn't exist but a mere painting of the "centipede" was made, what would you think? Personally I would find it much more interesting, hilarious, etc. but the film does give us that in a still, unfortunately we have more of the story.
Also I defended A Serbian Film to a level in its own thread so I'm not bringing that here Also I think it's hilarious when people get seriously offended by a film this harmless |

Gore is the real of the human body. Every time I see gore, I think about that. It's a rather power realization if you've ever tried to accept it. Gore is in you at this very moment, allowing you to be what you are. It asks why we are so disgusted by it and, even better, how some people are not affected by it at all, or even like it! |

Isn't it harder and more valuable to engage a mind rather than upset a stomach?

The Human Centipede is an empty film that is poorly made and horribly constructed with no point. I don't give a crap abbout the gore, as I already said, Peter Jackson made some much more disgusting films that I love. It's when you take a sadistic premise and construct a really crappy movie around it that I get offended. |
Dude. This movie was ****ed up. I think it was actually kind of boring, and more disgusting then scary. Shock films, ya know? T.T

Re: The Human Centipede Review
My Mum's reaction when she finished watching it, with no hint of disgust: "Well that was silly".

Re: The Human Centipede Review
I was actually dissapointed. I anticipated more of a.. I'm not sure. I thought it'd scare me but instead it just made my stomach turn.

Re: The Human Centipede Review
HC 2 is brilliant...really great movie.

Re: The Human Centipede Review
Gore is fun. I have a very strong stomach and a sick sense of humor. I can't understand why people complain about gore or extreme violence after seeing movies like this. It was your choice to watch, and you must have had some clue what it would be like.

After all, Inception could basically be seen as an action movie version of Cronenberg's EXistenZ, using dreams instead of video games as the central plot device. So it would be insulting to imply or say that fantasy/nightmare scenarios which appeal to me are "smarter". You get where this is going? |

Then there's films like this which Nausicaä quoted from the BBFC: -
Examples of this include a scene early in the film in which he masturbates whilst he watches a DVD of the original Human Centipede film, with sandpaper wrapped around his penis, and a sequence later in the film in which he becomes aroused at the sight of the members of the ‘centipede’ being forced to defecate into one another’s mouths, culminating in sight of the man wrapping barbed wire around his penis and raping the woman at the rear of the ‘centipede’.
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. There is a strong focus throughout on the link between sexual arousal and sexual violence and a clear association between pain, perversity and sexual pleasure.

Re: The Human Centipede Review
Anyway, since the subject came up, relevant to HC, I'd just like to repeat what I've said elsewhere about horror in general:
For me, horror is more about feelings than ideas. While individual movies can certainly have clever or dumb premises and plots (which is still a matter of opinion), I think horror is essentially about touching something primal and wordless. The extent to which a film accomplishes that is largely subjective. Hitchcock's The Birds got under my skin too, and it was a very classy example of horror, many would agree. Part of that was the vague fearful possibility deep in the back of my mind...of eyes being gouged out, in that instance, by beaks. I also have friends who thought The Birds was dumb and silly. Horror is, by its nature, very personal. |

If you watch the movie in reverse, its a nice man trying to seperate 3 people.
