I thought the film was engaging, had some great acting in it (particularly from Akihiro Kitamura, who plays the front section of the centipede), good character development and some convincing special effects. When I first watched the trailer I was shocked at first, then fascinated, and after the third or fourth watch found the whole thing extremely funny. To give this article some context, I should probably make some mention of my own reaction to The Human Centipede. The main topic that was covered, both in the talk with Kim Newman and in the subsequent interviews, was the fact that The Human Centipede: Full Sequence, has been refused a certificate by the BBFC, meaning that it cannot be shown in cinemas or legally sold on DVD in this country. It's possible, of course, that he's a sick, weird, freakish pervert but if that's the case then he hides it very well. He's been labelled a sicko, a weirdo, a freak and a pervert, but having met him I can only vouch for him being very pleasant to talk to, very passionate about filmmaking and with a wicked sense of humour.
