The Human Centipede (First Sequence) is a 2010 Dutch horror film written and directed by Tom Six. It stars Dieter Laser, Ashley C. Williams, Ashlynn Yennie, and Akihiro Kitamura.
The film tells the story of a German doctor who kidnaps three tourists and joins them surgically, mouth to anus, forming a 'human centipede'. Having completed the operation, the doctor begins training the centipede, while attempting to hide his actions from the attention of the outside world. The concept of the film arose from a joke Tom Six made with friends about punishing child molesters by stitching their mouth to the anus of a fat truck driver. When approaching investors prior to filming, Six did not mention the mouth-to-anus aspect of the plot, fearing it would put off potential backers. The financiers of The Human Centipede did not discover the full nature of the film until it was complete.

Tom Six began working on a sequel, The Human Centipede (Full Sequence) which will be released in 2011. The film begins with the antagonist, Dr. Heiter, kidnapping a truck driver by the side of a road. Later, two US tourists, Lindsay and Jenny, arrive at Heiter's house as they search for help after getting a flat tire. Heiter quickly drugs the women, when they awake they find themselves beside the kidnapped trucker in a makeshift hospital ward in the doctor's basement. Heiter informs the trucker that he is not a match for the women and kills him. When the women next wake, the trucker has been replaced by a new captive, Japanese tourist Katsuro.
The doctor explains to his captives that he is a world-renowned expert at separating conjoined twins, but dreams of making new creatures that share a single digestive system by joining separate individuals via their mouths and anuses. He explains that his previous experiment, a creature made of three dogs, died. However, he explains how he will attach the three human subjects to each other to form what he refers to as a human centipede. The doctor then explains in great detail to his captives exactly how he will go about surgically connecting them. Resident Evil 3 Iso Psx Iso. Once the surgery is complete, the doctor begins training his centipede to perform tasks.
Katsuro, as the front part of the centipede, refuses to do as he is told, and the doctor beats him. When Katsuro defecates, Lindsay is forced to swallow his excrement and the doctor watches with great delight. However, Heiter eventually becomes irritated after being kept awake by the constant screaming of his victims and realizing that Jenny is dying from blood poisoning. Two police detectives, Kranz and Voller, visit Heiter to investigate the disappearance of tourists in the area. After the detectives leave, Heiter informs his captives that Jenny will soon be replaced by two new parts. Katsuro stabs him with a scalpel and fails an attempt to rip out Heiter's jugular vein with his teeth, and the centipede attempts to escape as Heiter crawls after the trio. Katsuro faces the doctor with a piece of broken glass in his hand and says that he deserved to become an insect because he treated his family poorly.
He then kills himself with the glass. At this point, the police officers break into the house, and Heiter crawls away to hide in the room with his swimming pool. Kranz is shocked as he discovers Heiter's victims and soon finds Voller dead in the swimming pool near an armed Dr.
Heiter and Kranz shoot and kill each other. Jenny finally dies from her blood poisoning, leaving Lindsay alone in the house, trapped between her deceased fellow captives. * Among more mainstream publications, Total Film described the film as a disappointment that proved itself to be a slow-moving, repetitive affair that has nowhere left to go by the hour mark. Variety Magazine criticized the film's lack of any form of social commentary, stating that it couldn't 'be bothered to expand upon its unpleasant premise, inviting auds to revel in its sick humor by favoring Dr. Heiter and characterizing the victims as shallow expendables.' Entertainment Weekly was broadly positive about Dieter Laser's performance as the Doctor, and praised Tom Six's direction, saying Six 'has put together his nightmare yarn with Cronenbergian care and precision.' However, EW posited 'this is most disgusting horror film of all time.'
