The Human Centipede (First Sequence)

Dr. Heiter, a retired surgeon specializing inseparating Siamese twins, dreams of creatinga human centipede. Two Rohypnoled Americanwomen and a Japanese man find themselveswaiting to be conjoined mouth to anus and havetheir kneecaps removed, forming a link throughtheir digestive systems.

Director Tom Six keeps the pace slow - andthe horror intense - in the tidy white interiorof the doctor's home. Knowing just how muchto reveal and when, the story of the centipedeechoes movies such as Pasolini's SALÒ, neatlycrossed with the cold, clinical touch of Hanke aswell as the writings of Burroughs.

Not just another spin on the HOSTEL franchiseSix serves up this slice of twisted gore with a sideorder of bizarre humor - which is badly neededin order to digest his ideas. Literally stretchingthe notion of what it means to be human, thistale of human metamorphosis is a profoundlydisquieting.
