Storyline

Two pretty but ditsy American girls are on a road trip through Europe. In Germany, they end up alone at night with a broken car in the woods. They search for help and find an isolated villa. The next day, they awaken to find themselves trapped in a terrifying makeshift basement hospital along with a Japanese man. An older German man identifies himself as a retired surgeon specialized in separating Siamese twins. However, his three "patients" are not about to be separated but joined together in a horrific operation. He plans to be the first person to connect people via their gastric systems. By doing so, he plans to bring to life his sick lifetime fantasy, the human centipede. Written by Producer Ilona Six

I turned it off it was so bad.
18 May 2010 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

This movie was ridiculous. It wasn't close to a good horror, thriller, suspense movie. It was a downright stupid movie and whoever actually made this move was ...well, I can't come up with a word. Yes, the title of the movie and concept of the movie was very intriguing for a horror fan. It could have been a great movie if it had been done in an entirely different way. I am a true horror/thriller fan and I couldn't persuade myself to stick it out and watch it. Based on the title of the movie, I expected to see a hideous,horrific transformation of a human to a "monster". Don't waste your time as this is far from that idea. Very, very disappointed and I have no idea how this movie got rated over a 1 (awful). Just my opinion...
