‘The Human Centipede’ finally here

Somehow The Human Centipede has crawled to Kansas City without the kind of hype you’d expect from a work of “definitive psychological horror” (as Karina Longworth puts it in The Village Voice). Which is to say, we only just heard the good news.

The plot: A German doctor has captured some luckless tourists with the goal of surgically attaching them, mouth to rectum, to make a single, not very efficient digestive tract. (Basically, Sex and the City II.)

Director Tom Six told the Voice in April: “Some people walk out of the cinemas, others can’t stop laughing, and if people are eating during the movie, they are vomiting their food out because they didn’t expect this to happen. It has a lot of influence on people’s emotions.”

After a light dinner, you can see The Human Centipede at the Screenland Crossroads tonight and tomorrow night. Times here. Commenters, rat out your fellow moviegoers and give us a report on walkouts and retching.
