Human Centipede is the worst sin again the world of film that I can imagine. Irreversible was a bold and controversial cinematic victory that stands the test of time. IMO the only thing the Human Centipede should be compared to is the fiery bowel movement that I endured from a very spicy burrito two nights ago, except the burrito aftermath hurt my body less than having to endure the climax and utterly infuriating ending that was Human Centipede.
Thank you for attending my TED Talk.
Cinematically they don’t compare.
Human Centipede is one of those films when you mention, those who have seen it instantly know it’s a mess and any reason you mention it is likely to remember or conjure it’s shock value and ease at which it turns stomachs.
This was my intended comparison.
Human Crntipede was a Film I watched maybe 20years ago, and it was a joke.(I am down to rewatch again, actually I’ll do that this week)
Irreversible succeeded in doing what I could only imagine Human Centipede had in mind.
It was a hard film to get through without feeling something Gut wrenching, in fact that feeling never stopped it only went up and down. I was glued to the screen yet nauseated throughout.
I couldn’t understand the undertones of disgust I was feelingthroughout so what did I do when it was over, I wanted more.....
I read up on it and immediately it became clear, my dizzy nausea mess that I thought came from disgust was purely a Cinematic sound effect called 28HZ
“The first 30 minutes of Irreversible features an almost inaudible background frequency of
28 Hz. It's a noise similar to one produced by an earthquake and can cause nausea, sickness, and vertigo – exactly the sort of ambiance you need when you're watching a man's head get pulped like a grapefruit.”
