Human Centipede Now Part of Screamfest LA
Thanks to the programmers at Screamfest LA, some American film fans will finally be able to see what may be one of the weirdest sounding films to emerge in recent memory. Yes, The Human Centipede will be playing as part of the festival’s line-up. If you’re in Los Angeles from October 16th to the 25th, you can catch this flick at Grauman’s Mann Chinese Theater (thanks to Dread Central for spreading the good news…)
Here’s the official plot synopsis. It’s a doozy.
Internationally respected Siamese twin surgeon Dr. Josef Heiter has a demented vision for mankind’s future existence. He wants to remove human beings’ kneecaps so they have to exist on all fours and then surgically graft them mouth-to-anus to form a centipede chain. When two stranded female Americans arrive at his luxury home-cum-hospital looking for help, his long-gestating plan swiftly moves into chilling action with a shocking force. Kidnapping a third Japanese male tourist, he begins the tissue matches, teeth removal, and buttock moulding to create his triplet creature… The First Sequence in Six’s intended trilogy features truly unforgettable imagery, clinically dazzling direction, and a so-far-round-the-bend mad doctor performance from German superstar Dieter Laser you’ll scream. Behold the grotesque New Flesh. If you dare!”

I saw this posted up on another site not too long ago, looks like just about the most f’ed up idea for a movie. Certainly the most screwed up I’ve seen in a while. Definitely looking forward to this one.

Good LORD! All right, I’m in.

I may be in the minority here, but this sounds like the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.

Well, that’s the thing–there’s certainly the potential for this to be horrible. The other side of the coin is that it’s so bizarre it could also be awesome. I guess some of us are just optimistic…or into weird shit.

You’re right, but when I think of A2M, a human centipede isn’t what what I had in mind;)

Oh I needed this laugh on a crappy Sunday morning at work.
I kind of agree with Ram….this does sound stupid.
But it sounds so stupid it might just be awesome.

[...] Thank god Comcast now carries the red zone channel. I’m not sure which would have been worse- watching the entire rams/redskins game, or being the 3rd segment of a human centipede. [...]
