Basement contributor Matt Bellamy has taken it upon himself to watch and
review at least one horror movie a day for
the month of October . . . because he's awesome that way! No comment on what Bellamy is discussing today.
*Collective gasp* "WHY WOULD YOU WILLINGLY WATCH THAT!?" Yeah, I'll give you that, a very valid question to which I really do not have a valid answer--all I'll say in my defense is that I'm kind of a weirdo! Seriously though, over the last few years there have been no other horror movies (save for maybe the Paranormal Activity series) that have been discussed as much as 'The Human Centipede'. They are not good movies, they're terrible however the reason everyone talks about them is because the concept is so insane, ridiculous and disgusting that heads turn as soon as the film is mentioned. What that concept is exactly, well, I won't go into too much detail because I'll assume you already know however what I will say is that in the first movie it was three, and in the sequel it is now twelve! The main character/villain is a parking attendant who was obsessed with the first movie and decides to complete a centipede of his very own, even going so far as to kidnap one of the actors from the original and include her in the sequence, very meta! Turns out that he's actually not a very good surgeon (shocker), everything goes wrong, people suffer and so do you for watching it. It's gross, it's upsetting, and it's on Netflix if you have the stomach to give it a shot!
