I've recently watched the film "Human Centipede." I'm not sure if many people have seen it, it is a Dutch film. Personally, I decided to watch this film because the title raises questions. "Human Centipede?" What could that possibly mean? I know what a centipede looks like, but a human centipede sounds really odd. The film starts off with two American teens touring Europe. On one specific night they decide to go to a party, and their car breaks down in the woods. They walk around to get help and stumble upon Josef Mengele's residence. He strongly dislikes other humans, but allows them to come inside. The girls never leave the house, and fall victim to his dastardly deed.
Most people find this film scary and somewhat disturbing. Personally, I found this film to be very interesting; It let you dive into a sick man's mind. There are also parts in the film where the victims are faced with moral conflicts. One of the girls has the choice of fleeing without her friend, or going back for her friend and possibly giving up the chance of freedom. This made me think, in that situation who would I go back for? If it were me and someone I cared about (i.e. my girlfriend, my brother, my mother), would I go back? The actor playing the deranged doctor plays his part beautifully. He, alone, makes the film the horrifying adventure, that it is. I would definitely recommend anyone who is into horror, or foreign films to watch this. It is a very good movie, and will leave you with questions that may possibly never be answered.
