Re: the human centipede
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I'm really glad and thankful there exist such as thing as Fantastic Film Festivals. Where else would you be offered the opportunity to watch sick-spirited and repulsive independent flicks like "The Human Centipede" on a big cinema screen? This is truly the type of movie that would never reach video stores or even e-bay and is directly intended for the international festival circuit. This film, commonly known already under its abbreviation THC, is everything you could possibly expect from a midnight crowd shocker/pleaser and then some! The plot and its main character are completely over-the-top absurd, the depiction of gore is gratuitous and nauseating and the tone of the movie is continuously surreal. It's the type of film where you are practically forced to think stuff like "what kind of sick and depraved human mind could possibly have come up with such a horror concept". The answer: Dutch born writer/director Tom Six.
"The Human Centipede" starts out like approximately ten thousand other horror movies already did before. Two American girls traveling across Europe get lost with their rental car in a remote German backwoods area. It's the middle of the night and naturally their mobile phones don't detect any signals. Obviously you expect them to end up in a type of torture hostel or in the dungeon of a deranged inbred hillbilly family, but no. They end up at the luxurious mansion of the highly respected medical surgeon Dr. Heiter. The good Dr. is retired but still very obsessively working on his life-long ambition: to create the very first unnatural human Siamese triplets! But simply attaching three people together isn't good enough, however, as he wants them to function as a centipede! Here's how this works in three simple steps: 1) you capture three persons and remove their kneecaps so that they can't stand up anymore. 2) You attach the mouth of the second person to the arse of the first person and the mouth of the third person to the arse of the second person. 3) You connect the obligatory intestines and organs to each other so that persons two and three nourish on the excreta of person one. Does all that sound slightly disgusting, inhuman and revolting? Well, it is actually.
Needless to say movies like "The Human Centipede" are only intended for a very select audience. How can you possibly legitimize your motivations for watching a movie that depicts three people agonizing and undergoing humiliation for no reason other than an irrational and implausible (but apparently anatomically attainable) medical experiment? I usually say that I'm constantly looking for new horror and cult movies that go far beyond expectancy patterns and commonly used themes. "The Human Centipede" definitely fits into that category, what with its sickening footage and utterly despicable insinuations. The true star of the film is undoubtedly Dieter Lasser, who gives a marvelously grotesque performance as the dedicated Dr. Heiter. I've seen quite a bit of mad scientist portrayals in my years as a horror fanatic, but Lasser could easily be described as the ultimate stereotype for this role. He's a sneering German (obviously) psychopath with dementia in his eyes and Nazi echoes in his voice.
