Human Centipede, anyone?

I haven't been getting enough sleep this week, for no real reason. In an ideal world, I would've already finished studying the vocab for my quiz tomorrow, and be getting ready for bed soon. For this blog's sake at least, it's a good thing I don't live there.

So. Story:
Earlier this week, I was hanging out with Will in the 図書館 and while reading magazines as a break in between studying kanji, I came across a rather intriguing movie-still in a Japanese magazine for the movie "The Human Centipede."



Intriguing, no?

I showed the photo to Will, and he told me he knew about it already "Oh that movie." I begged him to tell me the summary. *Spoilers (in case you had your little heart set on watching this, and don't want to ruin it for yourself)* The villain, a German Doctor, has a sinister plan that requires several human specimen. Luckily for the Doctor, he manages to kidnap a Japanese man, and two young American women just walk into his house from the woods after a car accident. He drugs them and when they wake up in a hospital-like room,  he reveals what his plan is. 


Zis is vat you vill become!

This monstrosity, a creature that shares the same digestion tract, is his life-long obsession. I don't really want to describe it anymore than that... He unfortunately succeeds in surgically combining the three people. The Japanese man is the first on line, and the other women following. The Doctor intends to keep it as a pet and train it. He places them in a plush room, and they writhe around the floor while the Japanese man makes Japanese-screams the whole time. Now that might not sound particularly humorous, but imagine it crawling on its arms on your new carpet. 


Don't make a mess in here, Human Centipede! It'll never come out!

If you're hoping for a happy ending, you should realize that never happens in horror movies. Everyone dies at the end of this movie; the lady on the end succumbs to blood poisoning because she had not been eating well since becoming the centipede (ack), the Japanese man feels so guilty that he kills himself, Doctor German gets caught in a cross-fire with two policemen and no one survives.
Oh, wait, someone does live: Girl-in-the-middle, which if you think about it, isn't that great. The movie ends with her in like an attic, but just stuck to dead people. What an instant classic! *tear*


For those interested here's the trailer!

Sorry for the HD. You probably didn't need to watch that in high def...
Also, maybe don't eat chocolate pudding while watching. I mean, you can't see anything. But still.
