status: 2009; on dvd
rating: * * (just for originality) (2 out of 5 stars)
After all the talk and hype, I decided to finally watch "The Human Centipede". The acting: atrocious, the scenario: cliche, the idea: original. The concept is really all this movie has going for it. The movie starts with two girls on a vacation in Germany. They head out to a club, get lost and get a flat (wow, new idea!). They proceed to wonder through the woods (what was wrong with the road) and come across a house. They come to find out its home to a demented retired surgeon who has a very interesting vision.
The bizarre nature of the idea and seeing it come to life is what sets this movie apart. That is the movie's only notable quality. Otherwise, its a low budget horror movie filled to the brim of bad cliches. Fulfill your curiousity if you need, but don't expect too much.
