![]() ![]() ![]() Who’s behind The Human Centipede trilogy? The author of this saga is Tom Six. The Human Centipede, a… controversial plot “The Human Centipede (First Sequence)”, “The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence)” and “The Human Centipede 3 (Final Sequence)” are the three chapters of this exciting horror saga, whose main ingredients are originality and psychophysical upset. Three chapters, three films in which the same plot is reinterpreted, broken down and reassembled with sublime skill and rare artistic intelligence. With “The Human Centipede”, however, this usual way of conceiving and realizing a film saga is inexorably demolished, disrupted, upset by an unprecedented touch of genius. Endless, exhausting, redundant sagas, in which the change of the characters and the modification of some parts of the plot – within the same plot, however – do not produce improving effects nor add content. In the long run, inevitably, the original essence is distorted. We are too often accustomed to horror sagas – but more generally, cinematic sagas – unnecessarily long, repetitive, in which the same story, in general, is re-proposed obsessively, almost always in a worsening way. We’re going to talk about a horror saga that has literally rewritten the genre in question. But only if the trilogy is called “The Human Centipede”. Can a horror trilogy so clearly and sharply divide the opinion of the passionate public, from film critics to the simple viewer? Yes, it can. Beloved and hated, praised and criticized, madly adored and madly repudiated also. ![]()
