THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE (FIRST SEQUENCE) **½

Netherlands: Tom Six, 2009

IMDB reference


THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE (THE FIRST SEQUENCE) is basically a gimmick 'nasty' and an okay horror film. The film pleasingly takes a bit of time to build to its disturbing revelation and the villian looks creepy as fuck. However, you'll be forgiven for not making it that far as the terrible acting by the two female leads is incredibly grating from the outset. In fact the film is only able to recover when the actresses performances improve once their mouths are sewn to asses.

The Count's Verdict: Check it out for being a call back to the 'video nasties' era but despite the incredible hype and controversy surrounding THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE (FIRST SEQUENCE) it is merely an average horror flick which you won't be missing out on anything insightful by skipping.
