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 knew a “Dune” fan would kick...

It was not too disturbing..nothing really graphic..liked it!~
Best spider movie ever made:
Kingdom of the Spiders
From my childhood, Invaders from Mars. Bugged me for years...

Some horror movie buff friends of mine saw it a couple of months ago. Their reaction was that it was mostly stupid and boring, but that the guy who plays the mad scientist, Dieter Laser, made it worth watching. I believe that the comment was “He’s like a creepy Klaus Kinski.”
She did and it did.
It scared the hell out of me when I was about 5 years old...
Kingdom of the Spiders reminded me of an equally made ‘70’s flick: KILLDOZER!!!
Nothing is more frightening than a D9 slowly coming after. And I do mean SLOWLY! :)
“Near Dark” is the most intense vampire movie around.

The most disturbing movie ever made?

Even though I liked the film, and have seen about every war movie
(esp. WWII-era) made...
“Platoon” disturbed me.
For a couple weeks after I saw it, I found images of the film popping
into my mind’s eye.
I thought this must be how people that ACTUALLY experience real war
can end up with PTSD.
I don’t remember the names of the episodes but it was the one with the cannibal Yum Yum EatEmUP going after the Little Rascals. Couldn’t sleep for weeks as a kid after I saw it.
Oh, man... flashback. I remember that one also giving me nightmares around the same age!
Beat me to it I see........I couldn't even watch it to its end."
Yeah. I couldn't make it through the first time either. Or the second.
Another truly awful film was Warhol's Frankenstein.
oh now, Damon Wayans as Major Payne was pretty good
Battlefield Earth. Awful movie from an awful book from and awful pseudoreligion. If the Acadamy of Motion Pictures had a death penalty, everyone involved in this would get it.
The Ice Storm. A movie of awful, unsympathetic characters. How many movies do you say "I wish more of the stars died in the end"?
