The Human Centipede (First Sequence)

Technically, it’s average, maybe even below-average, but its incredibly insane premise pulls it up. This film gave me a disturbing feeling from beginning to end, and I still have it now when I think about it. I don’t think anyone can come up with anything worse than the fate of one of the doctor’s victims. PS: I don’t even want to guess what Tom Six will come up with for the sequel (Full Sequence).

This was completely idiotic. At some points I even felt like throwing up. The premise was simply amazing: a doctor decided to create a human centipede so he connected people through their mouths and asses. Were I the first in the centipede, the person behind me would have their mouth full of shit all the time. (17/12/2012)

The “Barker-like” idea is brilliant, the execution, on the other hand, it’s worse. Much, much worse. Like most ideas born at the pub, actually. (25/07/2010)

From pervert to perverts. Ethically, an unwatchable atrocity, but from a horror fan's perspective, a strange date with a creepy deviant who masks his filmmaking ineptitude with the absolute sickest subject matter imaginable. I finished watching it out of curiosity about how far one can go in the pursuit of controversial fame, and I have to admit that one can certainly go much lower – for example, Human Centipede II. And I rather not speak about the third one. (30/10/2014)

The Human Centipede (First Sequence) est un film d’horreur axé sur une idée unique qui a suffit à convaincre certains et en a peut-être choqué d’autres lors de son annonce. Mais en ce qui me concerne, la hype qui a entouré le film pendant la période de sa sortie ne m’a pas du tout atteint et, en le regardant aujourd’hui (dix ans après sa sortie initiale), il n’a rien qui pourrait me surprendre ou m’amuser. La seule chose qui peut amuser, c’est peut-être le comportement totalement barjo de tous les personnages et le jeu fou sérieusement résigné de l’acteur Dieter Laser. Faiblard. (16/11/2019)
