The Human Centipede

My daughter is 12 and the poor child has inherited from me, my penchant for all things gothicky. She sent me a youtube clip for a film called The Human Centipede.



Now I try to keep an open mind but I think you have to draw the line somewhere. A film about humans that a sewn together from mouth to anus to form a human centipede is distateful (no pun intended). In fact, it is a major gag factor (no pun intended again).

I ask why? Why would you make this a subject for a film? Now I vaguely remember a 1970's film called SSSSSS about a young man who is turned into a snake by a mad scientist. As a seven year old, I was horrified. But I can stomach a snake. I'm not sure I can stomach The Human Centipede.
