Horror

Directed by Tom Six

During a stopover in Germany in the middle of a carefree road trip through Europe, two American girls find themselves alone at night when their car breaks down in the woods.

    TRIVIA: The line that Inmate 333 says while they are all watching The Human Centipede films, "This trash belongs to a world where stars don't shine" was originally written by Roger Ebert in his review for 'The Human Centipede (First Sequence)'. (IMDB) 🖤

    The Human Centipede (First Sequence) (2009) 3/10 🐛🐛🐛💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 From the poster, I thought I was going to get a throwback where a mad scientist creates a monster. He doesn't really make a monster as much as... a thing. Why? It's gross but not really in a body horror way. Weak characters. Bad movie.

    188) The Human Centipede (First Sequence) Pretty decent! First third is the strongest for sure, love how tense & uneasy it feels & Heiter's actor does an amazing job. The messaging could've been a bit more consistent beyond just the 3rd act but that's my only big issue ngl, the rest was rlly good.

    12. The Human Centipede (First Sequence) Did not hate it. In fact, I think this is a very effective, very cruel horror movie. The villain is great, and the gore isn't too visceral. Absolutely not for everyone, but enjoyable if you can past that. Not watching the sequels though, fuck off.
