You actually saw The Human Centipede? I thought my co-worker was the only one...he's seen all of them (I know...I know...that creeped me a out a bit too, there's some things you just don't want to know about a person.) I'm trying to remember what he said about it...something along the lines of how it was subversive (which isn't always a good thing) and an interesting commentary on Nazi Germany, and the film technique was ...well done for what it was. (shrugs. I told him that I had no interest, the synopsis was bad enough. Couldn't get it out of my head.)
Irreversible from the detailed description that I got of it over ten years ago...is a difficult film to watch. It apparently has the longest and most graphically violent gang rape sequence ever filmed. Over 25 minutes long or so I was told. (I have not seen it). And it's done backwards. The whole story is told in reverse.
If you ever decide to see it, let me know what you think of Darren Aronfsky's allegorical "mother!". That's playing in my neighborhood, but I'm wary. Very controversial, and has a gut wrenching 25 minute long torture sequence at the end, hence the reason I don't think I'll be able to watch it.
A professional film critic, Glenn (can't remember his last name -- I want to say Kenny, but that can't be right) used to write for Premier Magazine, and lived in my neighborhood - told me about The Host, and how in his opinion it was among the best horror movies he's seen. (I don't know if I can handle it...gore bugs me. But I've been tempted by that one.)
It shares more than a few ideas with Cujo as well, though a lot more introspective
Interesting. I've seen Misery and Cujo, also read both...
I can see how it might share a few ideas with Cujo -- the whole being trapped and away from anyone. With deadly dogs around. Cujo was one of the better films adapted from King's work. Although the best were Misery, the Shining and Carrie in my opinion. Not that I've seen all of them.
