The human centipede

Anyone seen it? Sounds absolutely horrific. There are clearly some twisted minds out there.

 

I just read a little on the Wikipedia page about it, apparently inspired by the work of "Dr" Josef Mengele. Anyone familiar with his work? I followed a few links from the human centipede page on Wiki and ended up reading about Mengele, or "the Angel of Death", as he was known.

 

Absolutely sickening. I knew that sort of thing happened at Auschwitz but that's the first time I've ever read about it in any great detail.

 

My mind is now in a very dark place.

I skim watched it.

 

The bit where he explains to them what he's going to do is very disturbing and quite effective from a horror pov.

 

Overall I didn't like it.

Spurned 2 sequels that were both horribly shite and an excuse to cram as much gore as possible to shock audiences.

 

It's a pretty grim concept to be sure, you'd have to question the guy who wrote the script and the producer who gave it the green light. But hey, torture porn sells! (I only liked the first 2 Saw films before anyone says owt ;))

Dr Mengele liked to experiment on twins and would stand in by the railway lines at Birkenau and "select" children as they got off the trains.

First became aware of it via South Park's parody. Haven't seen it, but it looks funny. Hard to take a film of that nature seriously; I have seen scenes of the doctor hamming it up and the two dumb hot chicks who get lost and wind up at his house.

Dr Mengele liked to experiment on twins and would stand in by the railway lines at Birkenau and "select" children as they got off the trains.

 

fucking savagery. this from wiki: a real life torture porn movie.

 

 

Mengele used Auschwitz as an opportunity to continue his research on heredity, using inmates for human experimentation. He was particularly interested in identical twins; they would be selected and placed in special barracks. He recruited Berthold Epstein, a Jewish pediatrician, and Miklós Nyiszli, a Hungarian Jewish pathologist, to assist with his experiments.

 

As a doctor, Epstein proposed to Mengele a study into treatments of the disease called noma that was noted for particularly affecting children from the camp.While the exact cause of noma remains uncertain, it is now known that it has a higher occurrence in children suffering from malnutrition and a lower immune system response. Many develop the disease shortly after contracting another illness such as measles or tuberculosis.[

 

Mengele took an interest in physical abnormalities discovered among the arrivals at the concentration camp. These included dwarfs, notably the Ovitz family – the children of a Romanian artist, seven of whom were dwarfs. Prior to their deportation, they toured in Eastern Europe as the Lilliput Troupe.

 

Mengele's experiments also included attempts to change eye colour by injecting chemicals into children's eyes, various amputations of limbs, and other surgeries. Rena Gelissen's account of her time in Auschwitz details certain experiments performed on female prisoners around October 1943. Mengele would experiment on the chosen girls, performing sterilization and shock treatments. Most of the victims died, because of either the experiments or later infections.

"Once Mengele's assistant rounded up 14 pairs of
twins during the night. Mengele placed them on his polished marble dissection table and put them to sleep. He then injected
into their hearts, killing them instantly. Mengele then began dissecting and meticulously noting each piece of the twins' bodies."

At Auschwitz, Mengele did a number of studies on twins. After an experiment was over, the twins were usually killed and their bodies dissected. He supervised an operation by which two Roma children were sewn together to create conjoined twins; the hands of the children became badly infected where the veins had been resected; this also caused gangrene.[16]

 

 

 

The subjects of Mengele's research were better fed and housed than ordinary prisoners and were, for the time being, safe from the gas chambers, although many experiments resulted in more painful deaths.[When visiting his child subjects, he introduced himself as "Uncle Mengele" and offered them sweets. Some survivors remember that despite his grim acts, he was also called "Mengele the Protector".[

 

Mengele also sought out pregnant women, on whom he would perform vivisections before sending them to the gas chambers.

 

Auschwitz prisoner Alex Dekel has said: "I have never accepted the fact that Mengele himself believed he was doing serious work – not from the slipshod way he went about it. He was only exercising his power. Mengele ran a butcher shop – major surgeries were performed without anaesthesia. Once, I witnessed a stomach operation – Mengele was removing pieces from the stomach, but without any anaesthetic. Another time, it was a heart that was removed, again without anaesthesia. It was horrifying. Mengele was a doctor who became mad because of the power he was given. Nobody ever questioned him – why did this one die? Why did that one perish? The patients did not count. He professed to do what he did in the name of science, but it was a madness on his part."

 

An Auschwitz prisoner doctor has said: "He was capable of being so kind to the children, to have them become fond of him, to bring them sugar, to think of small details in their daily lives, and to do things we would genuinely admire.... And then, next to that,... the crematoria smoke, and these children, tomorrow or in a half-hour, he is going to send them there. Well, that is where the anomaly lay."

 

The book Children of the Flames, by Lucette Matalon Lagnado and Shiela Cohn Dekel, chronicles Mengele's medical experimental activities on approximately 1,500 pairs of twins who passed through the Auschwitz death camp during World War II until its liberation at the end of the war. By the 1980s only 100 sets of these twins could be found. Many recalled his friendly manner towards them, and his gifts of chocolates. The older ones "recognized his kindness as a deception—yet another of his perverse experiments to test (our) mental endurance." He would also kill them without hesitation, sometimes administering injections to the children or shooting them himself, and would dissect them immediately afterwards. On one evening alone he killed 14 twins.

 

In 1960 Hans Sedlmeier returned from Asuncion, Paraguay with a statement from Mengele that said, "I personally have not killed, injured or caused bodily harm to anyone." Mengele repeatedly insisted that he had not committed any crime, and that instead he had become a victim of a great injustice.

Haven't seen it but it doesn't sound a patch on A Serbian Film. Raping babies, killing people by poking your erection into their eye socket, shagging your own son. Makes stitching your mouth to someones arse seem like good wholesome family fun!

The Human Centipede's a pretty shit film tbh, I've not bothered to watch the sequel yet. Caught about 10 minutes of another weird film on the Horror Channel called 'Dead Girl', there's some very sick minds out there.

I don't get this post at all. What did you think A Serbian film was about? Has someone seriously misguided you, there's no way I'd think my lass would want to fuck me after watching a man fuck his own son.

I wasn't watching it expecting the movie to act as an aphrodisiac you mong. I watched it after hearing hype about the film on several film websites. Being someone (and the lass) who has never seen films like Saw and Hostel, we felt like it was high time that we should venture into the contemporary 'genre' of gore/taboo-breaking horror that had been getting so much press attention in the past few years. ASF was the 'wave-making' film at the time, so we watched that. The fact that I wanted to fuck my lass earlier that day was not related to a film we saw later on that portrayed fucking 'new born' porn or whatever it was called. I reiterate, anyone who hasn't seen it, don't bother. It is abysmal and disgusting.

Picked the worse film to start off with there. :lol:

 

I'd have started with Saw.
