The Human Centipede (First Sequence) (2009) - Tom Six


This is the most disgusting movie I have ever seen. When I watched Hostel in the theater I actually dry heaved during one of the scenes, but while watching this movie I was dry heaving almost the entire time. Tom Six has successfully directed a film that will easily find a place in the "Gross-Out" category of horror film making. This movie is right up there with movies like Cannibal Holocaust and Salo: 120 Days of Sodom.

So you have a doctor who wants to create a Human Centipede. To accomplish this task first he collects three victims and then preforms ass to mouth surgery joining them all together. If you haven't seen the movie I just want you to go ahead and picture what that would look like. It is disgusting and it doesn't seem like it would work but Tom Six assures everyone that the movie is 100% medically accurate.


The movie doesn't really have any "Gory" scenes, it is all pretty much just left up to your mind. One scene that really makes me gag is when the Human Centipede is being taken for a walk outside and the head person of the creature has to... ahem... do his business. Well again, just think of how something like that would have to go down.


If you could somehow get past how disgusting this movie is then you would find a really well written story. The film is very well made and it serves as a great wake-up call to the horror movie makers of today. Enough with the family friendly horror already; lets get back to the anything goes era of horror. Watch at your own risk.

Go on, swallow it!
  • The film will be released on DVD and Blu-Ray today October 4th, 2010
  • The film received several top honors at different awards like the
    LA Screamfest, Fantastic Fest, and the South African Film Festival
  • There is a porno remake of the film entitled The Human Sexipede

Ju-On (2000) - Takashi Shimizu

Watching Japanese horror is similar to watching British comedy. If you enjoy dry whit then you probably enjoy the boys of Monty Python in drag. That's the joke, they're dressed like women. Get it? Well, that's British humor. But if you're like most Americans you probably prefer Adam Sandler farting his way across a football field and hooking up with chicks that are way out of his league. Americans usually prefer this more in your face, crass brand of humor. My point is funny in England is different from funny in the US. The same goes for J-Horror. What the Japanese consider scary is very different from what Americans consider scary and it shows in this horror film. Japanese horror is generally slow (a little too slow sometimes), suspenseful and creepy. Ju-On is a creepy effing film. The movie has almost no soundtrack. It is incredibly suspenseful and the pay-offs are pretty awesome, but I think that it was done better in the American version (cultural t...

Sleepy Hollow (1999) - Tim Burton

Tim Burton's take on the old Sleepy Hollow tale is really interesting. He adds his own flair of course. He delves very deeply into the original story by Washington Irving. The casting is usual for Burton. Johnny Depp of course in your lead. Helena Bonham Carter, thrown in for some flavor. The score is done by Danny Elfman. It's literally just the Ichabod Crane story run through the Tim Burton machine. But in a good way. Sleepy Hollow has a problem with a guy, running around, taking people's heads. Like, a lot of people. The town sends word for assistance and the nervous  Constable Ichabod Crane reports. He starts to unravel clues that take him down an incredibly strange path. With the Horseman still murdering patrons, Crane tries finding who's next before they lose their head.  I've always been a big fan of the Disney cartoon,  The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad . This movie is a far cry from Bing Crosby and quaint animations....

Le Manoir du Diable (1896) - George Melies

According to Wikipedia in August of 2011, Le Manoir du diable by Georges Melies is the first horror movie. Well, actually its a short film (about three minuets or so) but film was really hard to come by in that time so this counts as a film to me. The plot of the film is basic, you have your hero being tormented by demonic things in a crazy castle room... However, that plot isn't what brought the crowds. The thing that drove the popularity of these films was the fact that you were seeing motion on screen. I suggest going and seeing Hugo. That film is spectacular. It answered so many questions that I had. It really sets the scene and the tone. The film has strong christian overtones and actually ends with Christianity prevailing over the "tides of darkness". I provided a link at the bottom of this review for anyone that would like to see this pioneer in Horror Film. The movie uses very, very early "movie magic" that is an abundance of smoke and m...
