#223: The human centipede, Movies recommended or seen lately... Les films a voir

Genre: Horror/Horreur
Annee/Year: 2009
Country: UK/Netherlands
Format: Blu Ray

The human centipede (first sequence). I certainly had a hard time to find this movie despite there being a lot of publicity on the web about it. I had to order it from Amazon in the end. This is one of the latest controversial movies. The sequel promised in the title has laready been banned from UK so is this a publicity stunt or a true horrific movie. Director Tom Six decided that in his third movie he would hit us hard by creating this concept of the human centipede. This means three people surgically attached together from mouth to anus and having to walk on all fours. Most people will stop at this point... For those more intrigued you will find a well built movie with good casting of the vilain doctor Heiter (Dieter Lasser who made multiple german movies and tv series Lexx). The doctor makes this movie on his own and the rest of cast is limited to grunts and crying. This is certainly not a great movie but it does stand on it's own besides movies such as Hostel and more. Only for the toughest viewers.

The human centipede est un des derniers films qui à créé de la controverse. Il m`a été si difficile de le trouver que j`ai dû le faire venir d`Amazon.ca. Le directeur Tom Six à tellement fait de promo sur la suite que l`Angleterre à déjà bannie ce film avant la sortie: pub ou horreur à vous de décider. Tom a créé le concept du centipede humain en imaginant une chaîne de trois personnes chirurgiquement attachées de bouche à anus et devant se déplacer à quatre pattes. La plupart des gens arrêteront de lire ici... Pour ceux qui sont plus curieux, vous découvrirez un film bien ficelé et qui comporte une excellente distribution du méchant docteur Heither (Dieter Lasser qui à fait plusieurs films allemands et la série tv Lexx). Le docteur tient le film à lui seul pendant que le reste des acteurs se limitent à pleurer et gémir. On ne peut qu`être triste au fait que le docteur est tué à la fin du film et ne pourra pas être intégré à la suite. Sûrement pas un grand film, mais il tien sa place à côté de film tel Hostel. Limité aux spectateurs les plus braves.



Great quotes:
Katsuro: God. Are you God? I'm just a puny insect. I cast out my parents, left my child, dismissed their love and led a selfish life. Just like an insect. No, my existence is even lower than insects, but... but dear God... that's how I've lived, and this is my punishment. I want to believe that I'm still a human being... Hey girls! Hey mister! What an insane world we live in.
...
Dr.Heiter: You want to bite me? Bite my boots!
...
Dr.Heiter: Feed Her!
