In another thread on another board, someone said that the doctor used IV supplements to the second two people to keep them alive. I haven’t seen it so I couldn’t say for sure.
As other said, it sounds kind of dumb to me (ok, really dumb). Once you stitch them together, it seems like… “Huh. That was fun. Now what?”
Agreeing to call it plausible was probably the fastest way to fulfil their side of the contract, so that they wouldn’t have to watch it any more.
Sigh. I knew what this thread was about coming into it. I knew…
Certainly seems that way here. If there is no way the critter could survive, the point of the exercise is obviously to use living people as instruments of one’s own sadism.
Damn this dial up! I can’t watch the horrific, vomit-inducing trailer.
On another note-
Why does torture porn seem to focus just on the physical? Where are all the mad psychiatrists?
My first thought was where was Brizon when you needed him?
They’re the directors filming the films. 
It is porn, after all. It must be graphic. How aroused would you get if a porn movie consisted of nothing but moaning, o-faces and cybersex messages?
I’m so glad I clicked on this thread! I’m not that easily grossed out, but for some reason ever since I heard about it (here), this movie has pinged my wake-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night-can’t-stop-thinking-about-it buttons. Not in a seriously disturbing way, just in a kind of nagging way. But I think the good solid laugh I just got from Max Torque, Ferret Herder, and CalMeacham discussing the medical issues in that deadpan tone just exorcised this particular demon for good. Thanks, guys (gals?)!
Plus, she’s stuck in front of a mirror, unable to turn away, which just makes it even more disturbing, when you think about what’s going to happen in the next couple days, if she even lives that long.
They did have IV tubes connected but I have no idea if that was supposed to give them nutrition, or antibiotics, or what.
“Go on down to the cellar with him.”
“Gee, do I hafta, sarge? Look at that puss. He looks like Boris Karloff!”
Just when I think humanity is capable of no further depravity other than what it has already devised over the span of recorded history… I’m proven wrong. Blegh.
When I first heard about this movie, the first thing that came to mind was the four-assed monkeys from South Park. And about as stupid. This would be better as a spoof than a real movie.
Roger Ebert reviewed it and is not rating it at all. He said the star rating system (as in 1 star bad, 4 stars good) is just not compatible to this particular movie type. Actually I think the tone of his review overall was “it is what it is.”
My first thought was - “best Bay to Breakers entry ever!”
It’s an unfortunate truth that due to record low levels of crime, Germany has only two police officers. I think there’s also some strange anti-Nazi regulation involved with that as well.
Next up: The Human Millipede followed by its direct-to-video sequel The Human Billipede (tagline: and you thought Hands Across America was glurge inducing")
Yeah, a friend of mine forwarded me Ebert’s review a couple weeks ago. I’m curious what the premises of the other films in this series are going to be (as I understand it, this is just one part.)

Ah, looks like The Human Centipede II: The Full Sequence is slated for 2011, and is rumored to include a human centipede consisting of 12 individuals. The director describes it as being much more disturbing than the first, and says the first part is “My Little Pony” compared with part two. Oh boy, are we in for a treat…
One local reviewer notes that, since it contains twelve individuals, rather than three, it’s certain to be four times as good as the first.
I seem to remember a film with this plot being discussed in past movie threads. Is this a remake?
People are saying this is medically accurate, but how, exactly? What is connecting them? Is like…you stitch the skin together or you’ve put something down someone’s GI tract through the next person’s mouth? And like, can they not talk, the ones on the bottom? Sorry, I just can’t wrap my head around it.
