My son noah wants me to review The Human Centipede. this movie is German, about a couple whose car breaks down, you know the plot, they go to a house ask for help and bang! crazy psycho guy terrorizes them. Sounds like the Texas Chain Saw Massacre only in Germany, so it has to be every grosser right? I mean this country invented Xylon 3 or whatever it was, gas chambers, oven, death wagons, so it only makes sense they can make a movie WORSE than Texas Chain Saw Massacre. anyway, the mad psycho cuts up people, cuts their legs off at the knees, and connects them together mouth to anus to form a human centipede. truly disgusting. I absolutely refused to go watch it when it was at the Regent Square theater, i mean, i watched Dead Snow (Danish zombie movie with zombie nazi's) and Let the Right One In (Swedish vampire movie, the best vampire movie ever) and showed them in my political film class (zombies? 12 yr old vampires? political? sure, why not, the students loved it). But i refuse to watch this film. If i showed this in class i am sure there would be complaints. Of course its political (everything is political) because the centipede is....is....let me think....the proletariat being exploited by cruel capitalists, yeah thats it....its an allegory about the proletarian nightmare, trapped in a capitalist cage, forced to eat one another's feces, crawling on their knees.......forget it.... this movie is just awful. I think.. it got good reviews in City Paper. Supposedly its good. somehow. if you can stomach it. i dont think you should buy popcorn or anything to eat if you watch this in a movie theater.......South Park had an episode based on the the human centipede concept, poor Cartman was number two in line, the Indian guy in front of him wanted to eat something spicey, poor Cartman yelled, NO Dont eat that!!!!
