According to imdb.com "In Germany, two American women and a Japanese man fall victim to a demented surgeon who plans to recreate a horrific operation with humans that he performed on his three beloved dogs: reverse-engineering Siamese triplets by attaching their digestive systems." By doing so he is making a centipede-like creature for his own enjoyment.
While watching the movie it felt like there was no point to the movie because it is not really explained why the surgeon suddenly decided to make the creature, although it should be said that Director Tom Six does put in flimsy hints about the surgeon and that he used to separate conjoined twins, or what the point of the creature even was, it has no application at all in the real world.
The biggest problem, however, is that is neither shocking nor horrifying as Director Tom Six probably wanted it to be, it wasn't even that gross. And this is a movie that deals with people getting sown mouth to ass and has a scene were in the front person takes a crap that the second person has to digest!
According to Wikipedia.org "The concept of the film arose from a joke Tom Six made with friends about punishing child molesters by stitching their mouth to the anus of a fat truck driver." I kind of wish he would've stuck with that idea because by using two good looking, innocent girls instead the movie really doesn't make any sense and it makes it look like Six only did so to appeal to an audience whose favorite fetish is girls eating feces, basically the "2 girls-1 cup" audience.
The only good thing that this movie has going for it is its mise-en-scène. Visually, this movie has many stunning scenes but the most beautifully done is the last scene. The camera work, the lightning, the setting and the actors all come together for this one scene. It's a shame it's only for that scene.
In the end, Human Centipede is not a movie I would ever recommend to anyone to watch or watch myself again.
