There Just Aren't Enough Mouth-to-Anus Human Centipede Movies Anymore

By Dustin Rowles | Posted Under Trade News | Comments (83)

I spotted this over on DreadCentral (via @Southworth) and it’s just too goddamn bizarre not to share. One of the films currently playing at FrightFest over in the UK is a movie called Human Centipede: First Sequence. The plot, essentially, is this: A respected Siamese Twin surgeon has developed his future vision of the world. He wants to remove all humans’ kneecaps and then graft the humans together, mouth-to-anus, to form a human centipede. He kidnaps two American women and a Japanese man and begins the tissue matches, teeth removal, and buttock moulding to create his triplet creature, aka, the First Sequence.

The movie comes from writer/director Tom Six, and there’s at least one thing we can say for it: It’s original. Not a movie I’m particularly interested in experiencing, but, you know, to each their own.

Here are some still images from the film. The queasy among you may not want to look any further:

So, she's sewn to the ass of another person and she still manages to get her mascara on without smudging it. I can't even manage that without an ass in my fass.

Gives new meaning to the phrase, "You've gotta be shitting me".

Posted by: TSF at September 3, 2009 9:06 AM

OK, let's talk special effects.

The whole purpose of removing the kneecaps is so the actors can wear kneepads so they don't get rugburn crawling around on the carpet.

The whole purpose of the bandages around the butts is to keep whatever modesty the actors have left, keep their mouths off the actual anuses, and keep their heads in place when they crawl around.

Man, it must suck to be number 2.

...Buh?

I'm actually considering seeing this now, if only to find out what removing their kneecaps is supposed to achieve.

Posted by: embertine at September 3, 2009 9:09 AM

Why just the kneecaps? Shouldn't he take the legs and arms too? Or the legs OR the arms?

Posted by: The Wandering Parakeet at September 3, 2009 9:09 AM

Ummm...

If he removes their kneecaps, how will they move around? 'Cause if you're stuck together that way, how else are you going to move? How do they eat? What happens when they poop or pee? How can he call this a human centipede when it's still three separate people, with three separate brains? What the fuck is the point? How is this an improvement on nature?

I guess this is one of those films where you're not supposed to ask questions, just accept the complete insanity and enjoy the spectacle of two poor actors who spent the whole film with their faces in someone else's ass. The middle person really gets the shaft.

Posted by: DeadBessie at September 3, 2009 9:13 AM

What?

How fucking drunk were the writers on this one?

DeadBessie - I don't know if the middle person gets the shaft so much as the sac. ... That's not what you meant, was it?

YES!

Wow, another Pajiba story intersects with my brother and centipedes.

My brother used to have 3 little yappy dogs who would all eat each others' feces. Disgusted with this behavior, he once mused that he could save some money by feeding one dog and then surgically attaching them all - mouth to anus - in a ring. The closed system would feed itself perpetually.
I see know that it would not have worked, as the critical step of removing the dogs' kneecaps never occured to us while discussing the idea.

This film needs a trailer with a strained and guttural Engrish voiceover a la Robo-Geisha:

"CENTIPEDE IS...HUMANS"

"SIAMESE TWIN...DOCTOR"

"ASS...BANDAGES"

"KNEECAP REMOVAL"

"TOSSED...SALAD!"

Most of you are aware of the fact that I seldom use curse words when commenting. Nothing against it or against those who do, it's just a matter of personal style and taste. However, after reading the article and perusing the stills, I must say:
JEEZUS in a fucking jumpsuit! That is some seriously fucked-up, nauseatingly shit-balls in an ice cream cone retarded! REALLY? Anus-to-mouth? Removing their goddamned knee-caps? None of it makes ANY sense!
I would rather watch ALL of Goss' idiotic remakes than see even one second of this crapfest. How do these "movies" get made? What kind of sick fuck
conceives something like this and gets other sick fucks to greenlight it? Is there an audience for this beyond the worst kind of raincoat wearing, crotch-fondling pervert?
Spare us, Godtopus.

Posted by: Kballs at September 3, 2009 10:12 AM

If they said this was from David Cronenberg, not Tom Six, I think reactions would have been more enthusiastic. It does sound quite odd, but I honestly can't be offended by this any more than I was by G. I. Joe. Both films involve coprophagia.

Posted by: laredo at September 3, 2009 10:14 AM

Oh how I was hoping this was an attempt to adapt Edogawa Rampo's story Imomushi (Caterpillar) into a feature film. Somehow, an amputated veteran being tortured by his distraught wife no longer seems so disturbing. And "The First Sequence" implies a sequel. Wow.

Yeah. Original. So's that gay zombie orgy film that was posted about a few months ago from the international festival circuit. I have no doubt that this film will be torn to shreds by the critics and will struggle to get an accessible distribution deal.

Posted by: Robert at September 3, 2009 10:27 AM

All dialogue by Kenny from South Park.

Pffft. Derivative.

Can you even imagine being one of the actors hooked up to someone's hind end? Ew. This is HORRIBLE. And not in an entertaining way, just in a horrible way. The most disgusting and horrible way.
Ugh. I'm going to have trouble shaking this one.

Oh my goodness that is deeeeeesgusting! and its not a Japanese horror flick?

And the title leaves it wide open for future *shudder* sequences?

and Hi PaulSouthworth, we just corresponded last week! fancy seeing you here. small internet.

Posted by: VinKong at September 3, 2009 11:37 AM

Dear sweet Jebus that is FUCKING STUPID.

And hilarious.

Again, I have to wonder who the idiots are at the big table in the boardroom that hear this pitch and say, "Yep! Our kinda film. Here's your check for millions. Now go have fun, you wacky filmmakers, you. Knucklehead."

But really, it is THE way to have a pretty face in your film and not have them fuck it up with, you know, dialog or some fancy gimmick like that. And probably cuts cost on craft services.

Posted by: boo at September 3, 2009 11:44 AM

Okay, I'm not shocked that something this side of waffle iron baffling was conceived, written or given a treatment. In my time in film school I actually saw things that were just as messed up if not more so. I imagine it was in no small part due to the chemical & dietary consumption habits coupled with the erratic sleep patterns engaged by most of the student participants.

However, what I can't get my mind around is how any producer or investor looked at this idea and thought it might be even remotely possible to regain any money invested in such a project- either that or I fall back onto my original theory and this is another example of "The Producers" as applied to cinematic production.

Posted by: bleujayone at September 3, 2009 11:50 AM

there should be a special way to release/watch fucked up movies like this so we can all just live stream comments while we view it because I don't think I'm really interested in seeing this movie but I am damn interested in hearing what the Pajiba Nation has to say ABOUT it.

And yet, THIS got greenlighted and Firefly/Serenity is no more.

Posted by: Todd at September 3, 2009 12:11 PM

A metaphor for the individual in contemporary society?

A being who is imprisoned in an arrangement with no means of effective communication and who is forced to consume the shit that others produce? The first person in the chain gets to eat real food presumably, and the rest on down the line eat increasing polluted versions of the same thing. Meanwhile, the doctor, no doubt privileged and well-educated, lives completely apart from the human centipede even as he creates and maintains it. Makes you wonder if it's really that different to bet the 5th person to eat the already digested and excreted meal or the 6th.

The only thing keeping this from being a perfect reflection of society is that there isn't a flat screen stapled to everyone's ass showing a perpetual stream of advertising to the person sucking their farts.

Posted by: laredo at September 3, 2009 12:26 PM

He wants to remove all humans’ kneecaps and then graft the humans together, mouth-to-anus, to form a human centipede.

*blink*

Oh fuck, no.

Wait. So no one else is wondering why the fuck he wants to make a fucking human centipede? Why? So they can then form a cocoon and turn into one giant butterfly that will destroy the school? What? WHAT?

Todd, I'll have you know that I was eating lunch as I read this (no idea why... presumably, I'm a masochist that way) and I choked a little on my yogurt.'

Please excuse me while I go hurl. Thank you.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at September 3, 2009 12:59 PM

MelBivDevoe--I should know by now not to leave my statements open to interpretation. Although I can't tell from those pictures--and I'm not looking again--what the male-to-female ratio is.

figgy--if you scroll way up, you can read my many questions as to why anyone would want to create such a thing, and if so, why they would go about it this way. Any surgeon worth his salt would only keep one head, connect the spines and harvest limbs from corpses to create a human centipede. Duh.

Posted by: DeadBessie at September 3, 2009 1:05 PM

Sometimes, in the heat of the moment, it's forgivable to go ass to mouth.

This is not one of those moments.

Posted by: L.O.V.E. at September 3, 2009 1:22 PM

I'm jumping on the bandwagon of not understanding why you would remove the kneecaps. If you wanted to them to be all connected and mobile, wouldn't they need kneecaps? How do you crawl/walk without them? I NEED ANSWERS. I predict I will have to watch this movie, if only to find out why.

Um, that's about 4:59 too long for it to be a good idea.

Posted by: Skewicide Blonde at September 3, 2009 2:52 PM

When I first read this, the kneecap removal made total sense to me. In looking at these people as centipedes, and in thinking of centipedes' (and bugs' in general) weird-ass legs, I thought, "obviously."

After reading all of your responses, I am less sure. Of myself and of the feasible anatomy of a mouth-ass humanipede abomination. And if I can't be sure of that, where does my faith go?

Posted by: coryo at September 3, 2009 3:01 PM

Why are the kneecaps removed?

and somewhere in the planet Eli Roth had the greatest orgasm of his life followed by his inevitable suicide, since he didn't think of that first, which takes us to the actual reason this movie was made in the first place. Free us from him,

Well, I know what I'll be discussing with my workmates today. I was sure I couldn't top the Twilight Dildo for sheer WTFuckery, but turns out, I was wrong.

Posted by: ScienceGeek at September 3, 2009 4:49 PM

Wouldn't an arrangement like that cause the person on the end to die of starvation/dehydration pretty quickly? I mean, your waste is… waste. It's what your body couldn't use. I'm sure there's some meager amount of nutrients and water to be gotten from it, but really I doubt it's enough to keep even one human alive, much less a whole string of them.

So you'd have a well fed guy with a string of dead corpses attached to his ass. Nice.

Yes, this is the kind of thing I think about after my initial WHAT!?!? reaction.

Posted by: Rusty (formerly Genny) at September 3, 2009 5:01 PM

Rusty,
I believe in that case he would just attach a new person to the front. This humanipede cannot grow backwards, only forwards for that very reason. I would assume...assume...

I'm sorry.

Posted by: coryo at September 3, 2009 5:17 PM

Showed this to my coworker, yep today should be interesting, conversation-wise.

Figgy, forget malnutrition, what if #2 caught a cold? With their nose blocked (and it's not like you can blow your nose anyway with an arse in your face), they're going to suffocate. So poor #3 is going to be attached to a corpse, and starve to death. That's a baaad way to go.

Also, in news that will stop your heart, this is apparently the first in a trilogy.

Posted by: ScienceGeek at September 3, 2009 5:33 PM

Actually, coryo, re-reading my last comment I was like "huh, 'dead corpses' is kinda redundant isn't it? I mean, I guess that's to distinguish them from what? Live corpses? Wouldn't those be…

Zombies.

I totally know what the sequel is."

Your idea works too, but only for a finite period of time until the people on the end do start to die. And then become zombies. And then the dude at the front has to figure out a way to get all these zombies, LITERALLY, off his ass before they eat him too.

Zombies make everything better.

Posted by: Rusty (formerly Genny) at September 3, 2009 5:33 PM

Rusty, with logic like that you need a job rescuing doomed franchises. Doomed franchises that were never good in the first place. So you're less of a rescuer and more of an improver.

Posted by: coryo at September 3, 2009 5:38 PM

I'm deeply sorry to say I spent a couple of hours thinking about this after I heard about it for the first time last night. I agree that's it's WTF, OMG, and EW, but interesting you know?

(Disclaimer: NOT a medical doctor - don't try this at home kids)

#2 and #3 would starve eventually unless part of #1 and #2's intestines were removed, as in a gastric bypass operation.

#2 and #3 would dehydrate in a couple of days unless #1 and #2's urethras were rerouted out through the anus.

The reason to remove the kneecaps is to prevent standing and force crawling, centipede-style. That's where your quadricep muscles attach, allowing you to extend your leg and stand up.

Could the skin of the buttocks and face carry the load of all that crawling around without tearing? Maybe the leftover quadriceps tendon could be used to connect the anterior palate to the coccyx.

Finally, everyone would have to be on anti-rejection drugs indefinitely, just like an organ transplant patient.

By the way, I'm pretty sure this is a BDSM porn movie disguised as a horror movie, folks.
