The Human Centipede is an atrocity of film making.  Sure the idea of it is revolting and somewhat compelling, but the film is just down right BAD! The acting is terrible, the story is bollocks and the effects are just laughable.

 

Do not listen to Gypo, so know's nowt about good films

I'm collecting the Hammer Horror films. I've got 26 so far. I don't know that one though  I love the 3 main actors of the Hammer Horror age. Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing and Vincent Price. I got the Hammer Horror TV series for my birthday a couple of years ago and have watched it soooo many times.

"Rest In Pieces", <small>14 November 2010</small>

"Asylum" (1972) is one of seven horror anthology pictures released by Hammer rival Amicus over an eight-year period. It had been preceded by "Dr. Terror's House of Horrors," "Torture Garden" and The House That Dripped Blood," and would soon be followed by "Tales From the Crypt," "Vault of Horror" and "From Beyond the Grave." Here, in a rather clever framing story, a young doctor applies for a position at the Dunsmoor Insane Asylum and is given a very unusual test for qualification: He must interview the asylum's four inmates (a very exclusive crew, given the size of this pile!) and determine which of them is the residence's ex-head doctor, who had recently gone mad. Thus, the interviews reveal four highly interesting tales. In "Frozen Fear," a woman (beautiful Barbara Parkins) tells of the homicide that she and her lover (Richard Todd) had perpetrated on his wife (yummy Sylvia Syms). This is a suspenseful segment with a good number of jolts. The grisliest tale in the film, it nonetheless contains the picture's most amusing line: "Rest in pieces." Next, in "The Weird Tailor," Barry Morse (unrecognizable here) tells of the weird CUSTOMER he had made a suit for recently. That customer, portrayed by the great Peter Cushing, unfortunately turns out to be short on cash but well loaded with horrible secrets. Some sympathetic characters and a chilling windup really put this segment over. In "Lucy Comes to Stay," a woman (scrumptious Charlotte Rampling) tells of the murders that her best friend Lucy (not-bad-looking Britt Ekland) committed on her brother and nurse. But does Lucy really exist, or is she just a figment of a disturbed young woman's mind? This tale blurs the fine line between fantasy and reality most effectively...until its conclusion, that is. Finally, in "Mannikins of Horror," an inmate (Herbert Lom) tells the young doctor of his experiments in placing his own soul into a foot-high look-alike doll that he has created, leading to some inevitable mayhem. "Asylum" features some very effective direction from Roy Ward Baker, a playful and quite ingenious script from Robert "Psycho" Bloch, an excellent score by Douglas Gamley, and a sicko surprise ending that I doubt anyone will see coming. Thus, I'd say that a person would have to be crazy NOT to check into this "Asylum"!
