Roger Ebert may have said it best in his review of The Human Centipede, which opens this Friday at the Plaza: "You don't want to be part of the Human Centipede at all, but you most certainly don't want to be in the middle."
Simply put, The Human Centipede is the story of mad scientist Dr. Heiter (German, of course) with a dream — to construct a human centipede by connecting victims mouth to anus via one long shared digestive tract. An impossible dream? Apparently not. The film is subtitled "The First Sequence," and only 12 of the 100 promised appendages are made good on here, so more will come from director Tom Six.
This is weird and disturbing and probably NSFW unless you work in Heiter's basement or at CL.

Everyone needs to come to the plaza cinema on ponce July 30th to August 5th at 9:30 pm as part of the splatter cinema program. If you come to see the human centipede it is advisable not to eat before you arrive. I know I almost lost it when I saw this movie in New York.
I watched this film the other day...I wasn't that impressed. It wasn't particularly that gory or disgusting. Sure, its a Human Centipede. There's the gimmick, and the film doesn't really go beyond its gimmick. The main bad guy is decent enough, but the overall film left me with the impression of a bad 80's horror film that didn't quite garner A Nightmare on Elm Street status.
