The Human Centipede (First Sequence) (2009)


Bounty Films
Directed by Tom Six
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(Blu-ray, IFC Films)

After their car breaks down in the woods during a rain storm, two American tourists seek refuge at a nearby house. Unluckily for them, the resident is a retired surgeon who drugs and kidnaps them to use in his latest experiment. They end up surgically united with another victim, a Japanese tourist, and unable to talk or walk, much less escape. Eventually the police show up looking for the missing tourists, but the surgeon has plans for them as well. Essentially a one-joke plot, that has nowhere to go once its grotesque idea is revealed. German actor Dieter Laser is quite convincing as the surgeon, however.
