Even some horror bloggers didn't care for this one. It falls into the torture porn genre, I guess. I personally see it as a mad scientist type movie as the good Dr's purpose was not to torture but to experiment.
If you haven't heard about this movie, the plot is basically that a mad scientist want to join three people mouth to anus to form a human centipede. That is pretty much the entire movie. I guess the torture porn label is kind of apt as the soundtrack is overwhelmed by whimpering, screaming, and sobbing for the most part.
The acting was okay. It was a low budget film, but all most of the actors had to do was scream and cry. Not a lot of depth needed. Dieter was sufficiently creepy. The girls may get some more scream time in other movies as they are attractive and proved that they are capable.
Overall, it wasn't a great movie, but it wasn't as bad as what everyone led me to believe. I wouldn't say I enjoyed the movie, but I didn't not enjoy it either. It was suspenseful and creepy which is what I wanted it to be. I don't know if saw fans will like it as their is no elaborate contraptions or schemes. Not sure about Hostel fans either as it isn't really a torture flick. I would say the best match would be those that like weird Japanese movies.
The second movie is out and I am pretty sure that they upped the weird as it has been banned in the UK.
