Let's be clear about The Human Centipede (First Sequence): It's not quality cinema. If you're looking for something to hit you with artistry, go watch The King's Speech (or Inception if P.E. was your best topic in High School).
This being said, Human Centipede allows us to sit back an enjoy a completely ridiculous journey. The basic concept is that a mad surgeon (with mostly unknown motives) decides he should sew three people together...ass-to-mouth. Clearly this option is seems quite crazy but, YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO SEE IT.
From the get go, we know who the bad guy is. At roughly thirty minutes or so the grand scheme is revealed to you. Considering our motives for watching the movie, this works perfectly. The first thirty minutes though are stale and contain atrocious acting. I've seen better acting in some choice adult films.
After some pussy-footing around (and one nameless, almost story-less, captured Japanese man later) our crazy surgeon goes to work on the human centipede. It's pretty gruesome, but leaves out the some of the nastier details. The method of creating the human centipede is actually more complicated than sewing a few people of the same blood type together, so kudos for trying to tie it together with bullsh*t.
The reveal of the centipede is at around the fifty minute mark (FINALLY) and it's glorious. For some reason, the mad surgeon chose to leave the women shirtless (boobies!) but it's always overshadowed by the, you know, three people sewn together. I won't reveal the ending for you, but I'll leave you with one last thought:
Before you travel to Europe with a friend, are you comfortable enough to have your mouth sewn to their anus or vice versa?
