Yes, this is an over used screen shot, but look, just look at it, it sums up the entire film
Where to start. Well, “The Human Centipede (First Sequence)” is one of those films which you probably don’t get too excited about seeing in a conventional way, unless you’ve really got a thing for what is essentially Torture Porn. Kind of like the video nasty which is Cannibal Holocaust (go to Google, but definitely NSFW), we, as human beings, get a sick kind of pleasure in knowing that we are not in the situation the people in Cannibal Holocaust and now The Human Centipede are in.
Basically, The Human Centipede follows the story of three people captured by a brilliant, if criminally insane and deranged surgeon Dr. Heiter and taken to his underground lair. Down there, after the obligatory chase sequence, he performs a complex operation to create a human centipede, joined ass hole to mouth. I think we’re all grown up enough to acknowledge that the shock factor of this has been over played…BUT DUDE, It must really suck to be in the middle.
Yes, the film looks decidedly average, and the fact I got all that information from watching the trailer alone probably doesn’t leave too many surprises other than the inevitable eye-scrunching surgery. No doubt a friend of mine who happens to often acquire videos such as these will be sending it my way sooner rather than later.
The German actor who plays the Dr. is called Deiter Laser, and forms a very cool easter egg in this game...
Anyway, the lack of a licensed video game deal has meant there is a void in the ‘humans joined ass to mouth’ genre, so enterprising Newgrounds user Mockery has released a flash game based on the aforementioned film. Titled accurately Human Centipede, you play as the rifle armed Dr. Heiter, who after getting ambitious with his centipede project, faces rebellion as a long line of humans come crawling after him. Oh, and the odd police officer.
It plays just like the traditional game of Centipede, so is very easy to pick up and play, and thankfully doesn’t tie too closely with the film. It has Newgrounds medals supported and is a well made homage to Centipede, just, in a slightly different form…
Set in sunny Normandy: THE Normandy.
After the weird news that Roller Coaster Tycoon is being made into a movie (eek, podcast spoiler), the studio that has fathered 300, The Watchmen, The Dark Knight and a whole other slew of bend-your-disbelief movies, Legendary Pictures, have acquired the film development rights to Mass Effect.
People worried that the movie might just be an onslaught of explosions may be slightly put at ease by the fact the writer of I Am Legend, Mark Protosevich, is writing the flick.
The Watchmen movie adaptation has been praised by critics and hated by the comic-fans. Will we see a similar avenue with Mass Effect?
