> [@Snickers](#): > > Yeah, it’s not very good. The two female leads aren’t that great of actresses, and you do want to smack them for their idiocy. The concept seemed horrifying at first, but after hearing them talk for five minutes I was already anxious to see them tortured—and relieved when neither girl was placed in the front position, ensuring that they couldn’t speak. ---

As several have already mentioned, it was better produced than I expected, it wasn’t as gory as I expected, the characters (all of them) make dumb choices, and one of the girls has nicer boobs than the other. Ok, I added that last one. ---

That was pretty funny, certainly _didn’t_ make me want to see the movie! 'Course, it didn’t particularly make me want to see Tosh.O again, either. . . ---

I don’t think it’s the sort of movie one watches for enjoyment. It’s more a test of fortitude or a dare. Like 2 girls 1 cup… ---

I want to do a remake of this. It’ll be _The Muppet Centipede_ Miss Piggy will be in the middle. The Swedish Chef will be in the front. (“Bork! Bork! Bork!”) ---

I figured out I wouldn’t like it from [this video](http://www.comedycentral.com/videos/index.jhtml?title=spoiler-alert---human-centipede&videoId=343578). The guy from Tosh.0 describes the entire thing. You’d think it’d be illegal to spoil that much of it. ---

The guy from Tosh.0 describes the entire thing. You’d think it’d be illegal to spoil that much of it. That’s the cut version of the uncut version I linked to above. Why would (should?) it be illegal to spoil a movie? ---

I just saw it with a friend. It is boring. The end \*DID \*effect me in some way. The middle being the only survivor, even though she’s an idiot for not escaping when she had a perfect chance to. ---

> [@Enright3](#): > > That’s the cut version of the uncut version I linked to above. Why would (should?) it be illegal to spoil a movie? It was a poor attempt at a joke. Maybe a better way of putting it is: He told us so much about it, you wonder if he’ll have to pay royalties. The idea being that he’s practically showing you the movie. And sorry I didn’t see your link. My mind must’ve been elsewhere that day. ---

I saw it, it was…rough to say the least. Read Ebert’s review [http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100505/REVIEWS/100509982](http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100505/REVIEWS/100509982) My favorite part "I am required to award stars to movies I review. This time, I refuse to do it. The star rating system is unsuited to this film. Is the movie good? Is it bad? Does it matter? It is what it is and occupies a world where the stars don’t shine. " ---
