The most disturbing movie ever made?
CNN ^ | Breeanna Hare

Posted on 05/13/2010 1:15:59 PM PDT by big black dog

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."

Two movies of the past decade stand out for me:

The Day After Tomorrow is hands down one of the worst, least entertaining, least accurate, worst acted movies I have ever spent money on.

And Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. So...ridiculously...over played.

Two movies that make me feel so awkward and uncomfortable that even typing about them makes me facepalm.

I saw it....Talk about anguish. A very insane doctor has you (and 2 others) tied to a hospital beds, and gives you a slideshow of exactly what he intends to do to you.....then he does it.

re: pauly Shore....

I'd add "Anything with a Wayans Brother" to that list.

"The Last Boy Scout" aside, a Wayans pretty much guarantees that the movie is going to suck.

I’ve never been able to sit through THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW. It’s not scarry, just silly beyond measure and way to faggy.

We saw it last night. It’s so bad it borders on unintended camp. The acting will make you cringe and laugh at the same time.

I was out drinking with the director, John McNaughton, one night (he was directing an episode of a series I worked on). I told him that I wouldn’t watch “Henry” for all the money in the world. He smiled and said, “I don’t blame you”.

Pretty cool guy.

"...The Bad Seed ranks right up there..."

As a kid, 30 years ago, I saw a movie called "Demon Seed", about a self-aware computer that forces a woman to have it's baby. You just reminded me of that.

Personally I found Willy Wonka pretty disturbing. But then that's just me...

I don't think anyone has actually sat through it sober.

Someone around here posted a photo of a real life human centipede a few weeks back. It was a shot of a bunch of dudes in a dorm room piggy backing one on top of the other on top of the other (about 5 of them) naked. They looked liked a centipede! It was VERY disturbing!
