Human Centipede. There was talk of it in another thread, but I finally watched it via instant netflix and feel it's home is here now.
Ludicrous from day one. From beginning to end it's a full-on assault on your sense of, well sense I guess. It starts as most horror movies do, with a nighttime flat tire in the woods of some unfamiliar territory. As the chicks stumble through the woods, things start to pick up with the writing. One of the chicks gets pissed because they shouldn't have left the car, so decides a better alternative is to stand frozen in place crying. She doesn't want to go back to the car, doesn't want to continue onward, she just wants to sit there. She's the perfect character for a movie such as this. Anyway, of course a few steps later the other chick discovers a light and tells the first chick--to which she replies through tears, "I don't beliiiiieeeevve you for some reason!" I'm not doing the line any justice here, you'll have to enjoy it on your own. The move goes from good to great starting right here. As they walk up to the house they pass a grave with the inscription, "My sweet 3 dog." That is where I will leave you in the plot, as to not spoil it for you.
I will now address issues that came up in the other thread. I'll start off with a couple to get the ball rolling, but please feel free to ask me any additional questions, as I'm now a Human Centipede expert.
The writer supposedly used a surgeon to aid in the realism of the procedure and then claimed it to be medically accurate. It is likely that if this surgeon's name is at all attached to that statement, he is no longer able to practice. The accuracy claim has been described as "laughable" and "rubbish" by the (I'm assuming European based on that last word) medical community.
The middle piece is apparently by far the worst piece. Aside from the fact that your mouth is sutured onto someone's asshole, the healing process is apparently the most painful.
Fun fact: My brother convinced my sister-in-law that this was based on a true story.
