The Human Centipede

Film Review: ‘Spiral: From the Book of Saw’ is a Horror Ouroboros Devouring Itself

CHICAGO – If you find yourself reading this review, you likely understand how much a film can influence society.

Blu-ray Review: ‘The Human Centipede II: Full Sequence’ Grows Exceedingly Tedious

The Human Centipede II Blu-ray

CHICAGO – With this sequel to his 2009 cult hit, filmmaker Tom Six appears to have finally mistaken stomach-churning exploitation for nightmare-inducing terror.

Film Review: ‘The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence)’ is Worthless

Blu-Ray Review: ‘The Human Centipede’ Delivers Campy, Queasy Chills

The Human Centipede Blu-Ray

Once you’ve discovered what the “Human Centipede” is, in all of its grotesque awfulness, your mind instantly creates a vision more viscerally disturbing than anything that could possibly be captured on film.
