THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE

After hearing Buzz Kilman talk about it on the Steve Dahl podcast last week, I had to make the hour-long drive to the Main Art Theatre in Royal Oak (near Detroit) to see this movie. It was well worth the drive. This film is gloriously fucked-up! Those of you with weak constitutions will probably want to take a pass on it. (Wusses!)

Those of you who can handle it, just take your sense of humor in with you and keep in mind it's just a movie, it's not really happening. Mind you I'm not really a horror movie enthusiast, but there are quality kills here, and pity the poor girl who ended up being the 'middle piece' of the 3-person centipede. Oh, the fresh hell that is visited upon her by the end! But that's what you get for trying to escape.

One guy sitting near me had apparently seen it already, and brought 5 of his friends to see it. During the particularly disturbing "Feed her! Feed her!" scene, which isn't even really graphic, all it took was the mere IMPLICATION of what was happening to send at least 3 of this guy's friends running out of the theatre! I am not kidding. He high-fived me and everyone else within reach. It was an awesome moment.

A sequel is due next year, with a 12-person centipede! I can't wait. In the meantime, I strongly recommend you make the trip (however far) to GO SEE THIS MOVIE. Enjoy your popcorn. And keep the empty bag handy when you're finished!
