Leave your thoughts about The Human Centipede (First Sequence).
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyHigh concept meets sustained graphic horror in Tom Six's satirically challenged thriller that succeeds if only by the realistic treatment of its gross-out premise via the best mad scientist performance in recent memory. |
| Slant MagazineSimon AbramsIn its single-minded determination to prolong its viewer's agony, writer-director Tom Six's The Human Centipede (First Sequence) is nothing short of an inspired bit of modern exploitation cinema. |
| What Would Toto Watch?Christian TotoThe title only hints at the horrors within this deeply disturbing - and thoroughly original - shocker. |
| Lessons of DarknessNick SchagerAbly achieves its goal of providing original, eye-scrub-required horror imagery. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanThe film is strange, disturbing, gross, and shocking. I loved it! |
| CNNRadioPaul ChambersPotentially this film could scar you for life. With that said, horror fans shouldn't miss the performance of Dieter Laser. Be warned, less gore than "Saw" but a hundred times more memorable. Paul Chambers, CNN. |

| SFX MagazineAndrew OsmondIt's no shock classic, yet it lingers in the mind, prompting weird thoughts like, "Would I go in the front, middle or back?" |
| MovieCrypt.comKevin A. RansonThere is a tradition among mad scientists who exhibit creativity with their victims that comes down to three little words: some assembly required. |
