... And I think that overall, the UK has just made this film a cult classic. PR like this is priceless. | ||

Perhaps there should be a section of TL that is only accessible with proof of age. Viewers have been critical of Gretorp and NASL for sexual allusions. As someone with two children that frequent this site I would like to believe that TL (though not tame) is a "safe place" on the internet. This blows right past that. An NSFW tag would also do it. | ||

The concept of the movie seems somewhat interesting, maybe I'll watch it. Imo it doesn't seem to be near as bad as any of the Saw films. So if your friend came up to you one day and said he wanted to make a film where 3 people get captured, their mouth's and anus' get stitched together because the main guy wants to see them shit in each others mouth's (which is basically all the film is), You wouldn't think he was weird? The director should be locked up in a nuthouse to be honest. | ||

There should be some class imho. Put this on a porn theater or whatever, but I would not want to see '16:30 The new Indiana Jones movie' '18:00 Human Centipede II' '20:00 Finding Nemo II' God damn. Just plain disgusting. Who comes up with this crap? | ||

But all that being said, I won't bag on the guys and girls who have the stomach to actually watch the movie. Although I do question their sanity. | ||

I agree, and belive me, i'm not hater , i watched numerous horror movies, and i can count on my fingers how many i disliked, i have high tollerance. Thing with this movie is, they had really high budget for horror movie, and story that was unused by now (which is obv considering how weird it is) and they could make much more, instead they just made movie with some disturbing scenes , and story that is very very shallow, characters are not developed, story is not developed, every part of movie is rushed, and it's not even fun , its just disturbing and somewhat boring, and when its over you really feel like wasting time watching it. | ||

Or, if that didn't make sense, it sounds about as bad as your standard Japanese Hentai. | ||

This movie isn't art. No one will appreciate it. No one will be more educated after watching it. No one shall be enlightened by its intelligent, universally applied themes. Why release it? | ||

Also, there is an audience for this sort of thing. I'm not a fan of it myself, but part of the aspect of the movie is the psychological terror that ensues from being placed into a situation like that. This isn't just "some movie meant to be fucked up", there is actually thought behind why they wrote it. Yes, it's fucked up and offensive to most people, but that doesn't mean it should be outright banned. I hate when things like this are banned just because they may be offensive. Let the audience watch it, and let those who are offended not watch it, simple as that. There's no reason this should be banned, and every time something like this is banned, it undermines the freedom of speech that most western countries claim to uphold. This film is ALOT more mainstream than that. Ichi the Killer is another crazy one, but it's not mainstream so nobody cares. | ||

Guy was always a little slow and weird but my buddy just assumed he had mental health issues. Anyways, 6 months later this guy rapes and butchers a 20 year old girl who worked at a Care home for the elderly (my other friend worked with her). He stalked her on her way home from work and left her body in his closet for 2 weeks... I'm not saying the movies were the cause of the murder, but ones gotta think that these kind of movies are at least somewhat fueling the desires of the sickest people on the planet. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/story/2010/06/11/ns-maguire-guilty-horne.html Or you turn it around. A sick person that has such tendencies will seek out material that fits his fantasies. I don't think it's fair to suggest that people who enjoy this stuff are all suddenly sicko serial killers who can't wait to bathe in blood. I remember watching Hostel when i was younger with friends from school. Truth be told it's just the film version of a rollercoaster. You all get in because it's scary. You watch this stuff because it's so ridiculously disturbing. Pushing boundaries. I don't waste my time with those tortureporn/gore-fest movies anymore. Some people might enjoy that but i don't think it's fair to suggest they make you into a murderer. I think it's fair to assume that sick people do seek out this stuff. | ||
