Out of all of the impressive films lined up to play this year’s Frightfest UK this August, the one that really caught my interest is Tom Six’s Human Centipede: First Sequence, which was thrown into the same subgenre as Takashi Miike and David Cronenberg films. Doing some digging, we got our hands on several hi-res stills that sure do give the impression of something unique and special. You can check out the pics below and those in London can catch the film on August 30th at 1:45pm. Watch for a trailer soon.
Frightfest writes: “Outside the more outré work of Takashi Miike and David Cronenberg, you won’t have seen anything quite like Dutch avant-garde artist Tom Six’ totally bizarre off-the-wall oddity. Internationally respected Siamese twin surgeon Dr. Josef Heiter has a demented vision for mankind’s future existence. He wants to remove human beings’ kneecaps so they have to exist on all fours and then surgically graft them mouth-to-anus to form a centipede chain. When two stranded female Americans arrive at his luxury home-cum-hospital looking for help, his long-gestating plan swiftly moves into chilling action with a shocking force. Kidnapping a third Japanese male tourist he begins the tissue matches, teeth removal and buttock moulding to create his triplet creature… The First Sequence in Six’s intended trilogy features truly unforgettable imagery, clinically dazzling direction and a so-far-round-the-bend mad doctor performance from German superstar Dieter Laser you’ll scream. Behold the grotesque New Flesh. If you dare!”
