Well yes - there was some of that involved. Ian was right - the lead was very good. Other than that I think I need to think about this for a bit before coming up with any other opinions. I did, however, make it through without shielding my eyes even once although I did squint a lot.

it's because the whole premise is about shit eating and the consequences thereof

This is playing in Chicago at the Music Box with a midnight showing this Friday, and I think some other midnight shows, too. I'm half-obsessed with this movie, but I am pretty sure I'm never going to see it.

seems like they coulda made this more disturbing by grafting abducted cherubic toddlers. they shoulda tried harder.
the sequel should be "human centipedes on a plane."

haha, OK, they talked about this on Charlie Brooker this week and, just...NO. Though Wiki suggests there's a whole trilogy planned, which is all kinds of incredible.
i read that all 19 members of broken-social-scene have signed on to play the centipede in the sequel.

I keep thinking back to Alex's question about the actors who portray the centipede and it really does seem like hard, horrible drugs must somehow be involved.

i've actuallt spent a fair amount of time trying to figure out WHY i find this so disturbing.i've never been disturbed by any horror movie or whatever― PappaWheelie V___________________________________________________ it's because the whole premise is about shit eating and the consequences thereof. it's brutal.i mean, that knowledge is really about as bad as it gets. it's not a graphic film, really, a few shots aside.― ian

― ian
honestly, i don't think that's why it's so disturbing (tho that is plenty disturbing, don't get me wrong). i think it has more to do with being forced into a space between life and death, where you don't control your own body at all. the whole notion of having your kneecaps removed, teeth removed and being sown to another person like that is . . . horrifying. that trailer haunted me for days.
― Daniel, Esq., Wednesday, 5 May 2010 19:54 (sixteen years ago)
f--k sakes, i can't believe i even wrote that. blech.
i like the idea that this could become a vehicle of vengeance on bad bands w/too many members, but i dont know how they will work around the polyphonic sprees robes

Woah I just read about this for the 1st time ever. I guess for copraphiles this is gonna be awesome. For everyone else yeah pretty damn disturbing. Inhuman bodily mutilation is a pretty terrifying concept if you ask me.

doubt i have anything to add that hasnt been said already, but finally saw the first HC film, and just found it kind of repellant (not sure when i last felt angry at a film like this).
funny reading the british reviews of the film, which are mostly all sniffy or typically trying to take the moral high ground and say that its either just not scary, shocking, or juvenile, which i think isnt actually true, because it is actually very powerful, just in a totally debased, awful, nihilistic way. makes me feel sullied like when i (stupidly) chose to watch a serbian film.
i kept trying to find logic to heiter's mad surgical idea, or thinking of better ways for him to achieve his great triplet idea, but after trying for an hour, i realised there was none (similarly, maybe i missed a bit but how did he call for the car company to come and rescue the girls without them giving him the number?). the worst aspect i think was maybe just that the ending made it a total tragedy.
on the plus side, its made quite well, surprisingly clinical in framing, the actor who played heiter was chillingly good, and even though some people told me its funny (which i can almost see, if you find the idea of shitting in peoples mouths amusing), its played too earnestly for me to really see the humour. urgh. weirdly though, after a night to think about it, i am wondering what the sequel could be like.
