I saw the Human Centipede on netflix and how have now lost 90 minutes of my life. The poster art is far more creepy and disturbing than the actual film.
You have been warned....

I love horror films, but this one and the sequels are just fucking stupid and Tom Six should never be allowed to direct another movie in any genre. The one positive I can say, is that this introduced us to Ashlynn Yennie, who's become a stalwart of B movies and the sequel introduced us to the that creepy, bug-eyed actor who seems to be a genre fave now.

The ape scene was significant but nothing tied it to the rest of the film- most of us just watched and asked WTF???? was that? I would also add that the characters were boring as well, most of them devoid of any personality whatsoever, including Dave and the computer!

The film was released before the novel was published. Both were inspired by a short story from 1948, by the same author, that was just about an alien warning beacon that earthlings had developed space travel (the second monolith discovered on the moon). The two other main plot points, the first monolith being some sort of memetic panspermia for our ancestors, and third monolith making contact with the astronaut, are the same in both works. In my opinion, the book expresses the former better, and the film expresses the latter better.

The apes scenes in 2001 meant that at the beginning we were all apes, only aware of one thing, to feed and sleep and feed and sleep, nothing changes, and if you noticed they were barely scraping by every day, in a lush land full of food and they were eating grubs, barely enough to eat to survive.
Then every day at the common watering hole different tribes of apes will gather and growl and yell at each other, not one tribe getting ahead of the another tribe, no one claiming the watering hole as their own. Then the monolith appeared and chose one group of apes and gave them knowledge. The knowledge to pick up a bone and turn it into a tool to hunt wilderbeasts with and turn them into food that's better than the grubs they are used to. Food that will give the tribe advantage over another tribe: by making them strong and healthy, i.e. survival of the fittest. The knowledge to turn that bone into a weapon to take out the leader of a competing tribe at the common watering hole. Then the leader of the tribe looks up at the sky and knows that there is no limit to what he and his tribe can now accomplish. They possess the knowledge to survive, to be the fittest, the sky is the limit. He throws the bone in the air and the symbolism of the bone turning into the Pan America space ship means that tribe are our ancestors. The Homo Sapiens that eventually evolved into the humans we are now. 2001 is not that difficult to understand. You just got to keep an open mind. |

The section starts by showing a big cat catching an ape for food: at that stage mankind was prey, not predator. Once the main ape had touched the Monolith, and gained the spark that set it apart from other animals, he figures out how to use a tool (a thighbone) to kill another animal. We then see the apes eating raw meat: mankind had progressed to being predators. Finally, we see the first tribe of apes all tooled up with bones and using them to defeat their rival tribe: this shows how, with tools, mankind could overcome obstacles. As pointed out, the sequence that depicts the bone becoming a spacecraft shows how the use of tools evolved up to the ultimate point: being able to take mankind off the planet and into the stars.

The Poltergeist (original)
I dont care about its legendary status along with who made the movie; its absolutely the worst crap ever to be widely praised as a horror classic masterpiece. Garbage. |

Are you kidding? It's a horror classic and definitely better than any of the PG-13 horror wannabee or the Horror Porn we are subjected to nowadays. Have you watched the Poltergeist reboot? I would very much love to know what you will think of it. If you said the reboot is better than the original, then I can say I THOUGHT SO and I will rest my case. |
