If the title alone isn't enough to make you squirm, a brief rundown of the premise for the indie horror movie, "The Human Centipede," certainly will. Any film involving three humans sharing a single digestive tract obviously isn't aiming to be easy on the eyes.
Yet director/writer Tom Six's portrayal of a crazed surgeon who takes his skills at separating conjoined twins and uses them to create his own living human insect has left some critics appalled that it was even created; venerated critic Roger Ebert didn't think his star rating system was even applicable.
"No horror film I've seen inflicts more terrible things on its victims than 'The Human Centipede,'" Ebert wrote in his review. "The star rating system is unsuited to this film. Is the movie good? Is it bad? Does it matter? It is what it is and it occupies a world where the stars don't shine."

But surprisingly and pleasantly free of expletives and vulgarisms.
Pennywise gave me nightmares for sure!
“They all float...”
Eeeeeeek!
I was a little kid when I saw it too.
I think the woman was played by Karen Black.
It was freaky in that she couldn’t kill the thing and it was relentless. Worse than Michael Myers.
Last House on the Left (the original)
Excellent
There can never be any justification for IRREVERSABLE being filmed!
Finally someone else who has seen and realized how awful that movie was. If Kafka had gone on a weekend peyote orgy, Naked Lunch would be what he vomitted up on Monday.
Worst, most disturbing, sick, and depraved movie I ever made the mistake of seeing. It forever changed my opinion of Woody Harrelson as an actor and as a person. Sick.
Ditto!
But the role of Torgo was one everyone competed for...
(MST3K was at its best with this one)
Johnny Got His Gun is my personal most disturbing movie ever.
