If you were obsessed with an idea, would you take it into motion? Are you willing to act towards the idea in any way possible? For Martin, he's going to do what other people are not capable of doing.
This is my first review on a film on IMDb, and the reason I picked this film is due to one word; controversy. I ordered it on demand last night, and calmed my nerves because I knew what i was heading into. All threw my head, I was thinking about how Tom Six wants this to be art, and he really went all out with the B&W (With a little funny twist).
Right from the start, the film had more blood than the first Human Centipede had, and from there on, everyone will know you're in for a long ride. I've seen A Serbian Film, and the hype for it did not shock me, shock value is pretty much the only rule horror directors want to go by, and only few have great shock value.
The story revolves around a mental Security Guard, named Martin, who lives with his suicidal mother, and is secretly obsessed with The Human Centipede film, it's his sexual fantasy to create his own, but not with three, but 12 people. Martin is a creepy man, and the first half hour of the film really created amazing atmosphere and sympathy towards Martin.
Now, is this Art? Not by a long shot, Six wanted to create Art by making this film black and white, trying to categorize this film with classics. In my opinion, art is something beautiful, something that can touch is by visual, and Martin believes the Human Centipede is Art, he thinks it's beautiful. But to a lot more people, it seemed like a desperate try to create something original, which it did, but in the end, didn't create the hype it was needed.
Does this have great shock value for the sensitive nerves? Yes, and it achieved it, but that's all it is. You can barely tell if anyone had good performances, the only one I found believable was Martin, and Laurence Harvey nailed his part. But for everyone else, you can't really judge since they all had a minute of screen time.
The film has more plot holes than swish cheese, and it bothered the heck out of me, I understand that you need disbelief but this was ridiculous, anyone with a brain could get this guy caught, but I think if the movie ended the way it seemed, then the plot holes don't matter.
My overall opinion, it's an okay horror film, if you want to be disgusted, then this is you're exact cup of tea, but looking for something beautiful, stay away.
5/10
