Please don’t think less of me for writing about the horror film, The Human Centipede
The Human Centipede
I've been holding onto this post for one solid week. I just haven't been able to push the "Publish" button, for fear of losing every single one of you, my Precious Readers. Just stay with me for a second, okay? I have to purge. There's this...movie. I truly don't think I'll be able to watch it (if it were even showing anywhere 'round these parts), but I have a weird fascination with the whole Evil Scientist thing...and "The Human Centipede" takes the cake.

"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. Searching for help at a nearby villa, they are wooed into the clutches of a deranged retired surgeon who explains his mad scientific vision to his captives’ utter horror. They are to be the subjects of his sick lifetime fantasy: to be the first to connect people, one to the next, via their gastric system, and in doing so bring to life “the human centipede.”
Okay. THAT was a very tame synopsis of what this movie depicts. MILD, even. I'm really at odds with myself in terms of even posting a blog about this movie. Clearly, only the fringe-iest of the fringe will actually see this barfness. What I wanna know is, WHY am I so obsessed with this crazy thing? I can't stop watching the trailer or reading reviews...many of which are well, glowing! (Granted, most of the reviewers are freaky-assed horror "stans" (skalker-fans") of the genre.
For me, it all started with THIS:
"Water, Water, Every Hare"...Warner Brothers.
Dieter Laser. That's the German actor's REAL NAME. Even his LAB COAT is creepy.
"If an INterestin' monster can't have an INterestin' hairdo...." This has been my FAVORITE Bugs Bunny cartoon since I was little. I used to want to BE the "E-villll Scientist" when I was a tiny girl watching cartoons on Saturday mornings. (Calling all Psych majors!) Then as an adult, "Ren and Stimpy" became my animated characters, but that's a whole 'nother story.
Seriously. Do NOT watch this movie trailer. Just DON'T.
Please don't hate me because I'm a freak. I swear I won't I won't see it. I won't. But if YOU do see it? Send me a well-thought out review.

That’s a spoof trailer right? Not a real movie? I can’t see the horror only the funny side:-) Not that i think there’d be much funny about having my face surgically implanted into somebody’s arse but….well….hilarious idea!

Annette: I think YOU are the ideal viewer for this film. It has been mentioned that it is indeed a “dark comedy”. However, other people who are barfing while running out the door may differ. The director worked with a physician who made the “operation” scenes/outcome (so to speak) were medical correct. It’s one of the “tag lines”.
But NO. It’s not a spoof.
