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."

I love that movie.
My childhood horror was First Spaceship on Venus. Until I was twelve I checked under the bed for living lava.

Very disturbing film.
I lasted 15 minutes into "I Spit On Your Grave" and I'd never turned off a slasher flick before that in my life.

okay, i admit it..... I love that movie. it is so stupid and campy that it is hilarious. and one must admit that john leguiziamo makes a pretty girl.
VERY funny! My laugh for the day! :-)
On The Beach.
I met Divine once. Still have ‘her’ autograph around the house somewhere. Right next to Annie Sprinkle’s probably.
I watched The Fly 2 last night, it takes off where the modern Fly left off, i.e. Brundle’s girlfriend has his baby and dies at birth. It actually was fairly well done but very gory, more so than I would have wanted to see.
I watched the Exorcist again last week, another well done horror flick except all of the comedy skits that have been done about it since it came out in the early 70’s made me laugh most of the time, especially when the little girl’s head rotated, I am laughing now just writing about it.
I don’t mind a good insect horror flick as long as there are not a lot of the little buggers. I tried to watch Eight Legged Freaks the other night but turned it off about 30 minutes in, too many spiders for me.
Gorgo is next.
As far as creepiness, the latest one I watched was "Quarantine"
... or Ishtar.
“anything with Pauly Shore.”
oh c’mon now.... “The Son-in-Law” was funny.

Beat me to it I see........I couldn't even watch it to its end.
This goes on in the Whitehouse basement all the time now. Ever notice how many missing tea party members there has been lately?

Glad I missed that one. LOL!
