Film 840: The Human Centipede
Trivia: Some scenes of the
movie are so controversial, some people walked out during test screenings.
The concept of the film arose
from a joke Tom Six made with friends
about punishing a child molester by stitching his "mouth to the ass of a
very fat truck driver."
Roger Ebert refused to assign
this film a star rating for his review (not to be confused with giving it a
zero star rating, which he hands out to the very worst films that he sees),
saying it doesn't really matter whether the film is perceived as good or bad.
He closes the review by writing, "[The film] is what it is and occupies a
world where the stars don't shine."
When the Toronto Underground
Cinema showed this film, there was a "centipede deal" where if two
tickets were purchased, the third one would be free.
Director Tom Six contacted a real
surgeon for the medical human centipede design which grants the film the
tagline "100% medically accurate".
