HUMAN CENTIPEDE will freak you the hell out

Sunday, July 5, 2009


Warning: This is appalling. After you have read the following paragraphs, you can never un-read them.

The other day I was saying that the movie Deadgirl has just about the most appalling premise imaginable. Well, the upcoming horror indie Human Centipede has a plot so freakin' twisted that it makes Deadgirl look like My Little Pony: The Princess Promenade.

Dieter Laser stars as a mad scientist determined to create a human centipede, so he does it by fusing people together, face-to-butt. It's a truly nauseating idea, and if you ever saw Laser's spectacular performance as Mantrid on Lexx you know he's just about the creepiest creep who ever crept.

The film's first 18 minutes screen later this month at the Fright4 Film Fest in London. Here's the festival's writeup.

Outside the more outré work of Takashi Miike and David Cronenberg, you won’t have seen anything quite like Dutch avant-garde artist Tom Six’ totally bizarre off-the-wall oddity. 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!

"Science fiction plucks from within us our deepest fears and hopes, then shows them to us in rough disguise: the monster and the rocket." - W.H. Auden

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?

Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
