Synopsis

A demented surgeon will wield any instrument to perform the unspeakable. No conscience, no mercy and no hope!

It’s the horror event of the year and one of the most talked about films of 2010. The film has been described as everything from a post-Cronenberg body-horror to the most horrific film ever made. Hailed as one of the most twisted, stomach-churning movies of all time which has sent American cinemagoers reaching for the sick bags.

On a road trip round Europe, tourists Lindsey (Ashley Williams) and Jenny (Ashlynn Yennie), find themselves stranded in the middle of nowhere when their car breaks down in a remote forest in Germany. Setting off for help through the woods they eventually reach an isolated house.

Offering to call them a taxi, the owner Dr Heiter (Dieter Laser), invites them in to wait for help to arrive. Little do the girls realise their host, is a psychological disturbed yet leading international surgeon in conjoined surgery.

Drugging the girls, Dr Heiter seizes the chance to enact his horrific vision of instead of medically separating patients choosing instead to gruesomely surgically join his victims together to forma human centipede.

Tom Six's twisted biological horror THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE (FULL SEQUENCE) is not for the faint hearted.
