Well, it seems sci fi but is effed up

MemberLegendSep-28-2017 1:15 AMI watched The Human Centipede and still cannot recall why I watched it. Any artistic statement was wasted on me. It seemed like senseless inhumane brutality and maybe that was the point. It was one of those things that I knew up front I would likely hate but had to watch- just to be sure. I think it spawned a couple sequels too with a weird prison huge centipede. Maybe the point was about depravity and making viewers feel the need to shower after viewing?
Weigh in on your thoughts please.

Moderator2KSep-28-2017 2:42 AMI haven't seen these films, yet. But we all have an innate need to validate our loathing/distaste by watching things we know we will dislike lol...

MemberLegendSep-28-2017 2:50 AMThere was no point.
A horrific movie that had a point and was all kinds of wrong was The Devil's Rejects- Love it to death. Centipede? Hate it.

MemberLegendSep-28-2017 3:02 AMSee the first one just to be able to say you watched it. Street cred and all that BS. It is a ****ed up movie...it is a **** sandwich and we are out of bread and we all have to take a bite. It is that bad imo.

Moderator2KSep-28-2017 3:10 AMlol I watched Sharknado for that reason, Street Cred and all that....i'd rather not have the street cred hahahaha
But as a horror film, Human Centipede has a certain appeal.

MemberInitiateSep-28-2017 3:16 AMYay, Sharknado is so wildly over the top, and bad, that it's really good. And the makers know it!
I don't think I could bring myself to watch The Human Centipede. A little too disgusting for me.
In a similar vein, the movie Martyrs (2008) is a very well made movie and nicely shot, but the subject material is just so depraved I wish I hadn't seen it.

Member2KSep-28-2017 5:12 AMOh my, I've seen THC and the second one.
If you think you want to see a movie where a chain of peoples mouths are stitched to the person in fronts anus, with all that that entails...then go ahead! Lol
However given that it's a Nazi medical experiment allegory it would be messed up! According to director Tom Six another inspiration comes from a joke he made with friends about punishing a child molester by stitching his mouth to a fat truckers anus!

MemberInitiateSep-28-2017 5:44 AMLooks interesting, but seems the rating is meh
The most unsettling movie I watched was "Dogtooth", but it has a pretty good plot. Recommend it if you are into effed up movies :D
