Ugh... I went on the Wikipedia page for that movie... I'm pretty nauseous right now. That's just disgusting. Dude who came up with that has some issues.

Okay, so this thread made me google "Human Centipede."
There must be something wrong with me because I found the movie so absurd I giggled through the second half of the trailer. I probably won't watch it, but I'm trying to figure out the surgeon's motivation. Why exactly does he want to do this thing? And the answer "for funsies" won't cut it.
Even crazy people have some motivation for what they do...
Anyway, that movie sounds nuts. I can't be disgusted by it because it's just too silly. It sounds like a South Park episode or something.
Anyway, as for the original post, I never watched The Passion simply because I heard about the particular scene in it. I think Mad Mel went too far in that film. What boggles my mind is they show that movie in churches, with young people present. And yet, video games are too violent.

I figured I would be open and watch the trailer...that was so shallowly dissapointing. Is that all horror is these days? Torture Porn? If the whole thrill of the movie is how bad/gross/disgusting your kills are in the movie then really you could just look around on the internet for detective file evidence photos or for those videos PETA posts about how "evil" meat is based off one or two producers that arent humane.
I miss movies like "The Haunting of Hell House"...the 1960's version...the one where you could go 2hrs without someone dying and it was still got you. Or like Alien where the fear was the claustrophobic environment and being effectively trapped with a semi-intelligent, hungry preditor completely different from nature as we know it.
These days "horror" relies on torture/gore or simply pairing a fast movement with a loud noise (usually an artificial noise at that, lame). Both of these require no real creativity and are just pushing a button biologically built into us. The former can be acheieve just my walking down the street with a photo of a mutilated dog for the same reaction, and the later just as easily accomplished by jumping out and saying "Boo." Hell, I've even show people the same could be achieved by squiftly raising a piece of paper with a large red dot on it in front of someones face while making a loud "QUACK!" noise...an experiment my peers referred to as "The Quacking Dot." We can all agree that these are not exactly brilliant contributions to the horror genre...though the Quacking Dot was a fun psychology experiment (fueled by this specific frustration with modern film, actually).

Lol, wow that trailer makes that movie look like its something I don't want to see. Not because its disturbing (which the idea would be if it was real), or because its scary. It just looks like a stupid movie. The first 0:30 seconds of the trailer were those two girls talking and my god, they were so annoying to listen to.
I just thought the Human Centipede was too ridiculous to find all that scary, I mean all he really did is sellotape 3 people together, not much of a surgeon, is he? I mean, what's the point of making 3 people crawl around and munch on each others' excrement? What purpose does it serve? Is he going to try and conquer the world or something?Humiliated Grape said:
That may well be it. I try to avoid being desensitized to stuff like that. Where do you go on the Internet to find things that are worse than that? On second thought, don't tell me; my curiosity would ultimately destroy me if I knew.sinclose said:
I won't say that it "went too far"... because from a technical standpoint it was brilliant.
But a French film called Irréversible is by FAR the most disturbing, nauseating, sickening film that i have ever endured. More so that anything (of those of seen) that has been mentioned thus far.
EDIT:
For those interested... key moments in Irreversible include...

A man, nicknamed 'The tape worm' getting his face brutally mashed in (repeatedly, long after his death) with a fire extinguisher after trying to rape some other guy in the ass after ruthlessly snapping his elbow backward.
A woman getting raped in the ass for 10 minutes non stop, and then getting beaten into a coma.

Oh it can't be that bad! Let me just go look up the trailer...
What the hell? That wasn't really scary, just made me ask "WTF" a lot.
And the plot from Wikipedia didn't answer my question at all...
Also, I find a lot of films that are coming up in this thread happen to be on this list...

I thought that Antichrist's first 20 min or so were absolutely brilliant though...UnableToThinkOfName said:
The very first scene, with the black and white sex and the slow motion and the music and the death and what-not. Gorgeous.
Pity it went downhill after that.
I'd have to say A Clockwork Orange. It isn't scary per say, more like disturbing. I first saw it when I was 15 years old, and that "Rehabilitation" scene FREAKED ME OUT!!!

... is it weird that I went and looked up Human Centipede and didn't find it disturbing? I kinda want to see it... but maybe I'm just twisted like that.
Anyway, that being said, I've never really seen anything go too far. And I've seen Deliverance as well. Guess I'm weird. :T
EDIT: I just saw Bill Hader make out with a small Pug puppy. I think I just found something that crossed the line. XD

Haven't seen it, but from what I've heard, A Serbian Film is the ultimate version of this. All reviews I've seen have stated that it is worse than Antichrist, Hostel, Cannibal Holocaust, etc. Not only that, but it features a scene where (SPOILERS...sorta?) a man rapes a newly born infant. (straight from the womb) If you want to see the NSFW trailer, click <url=http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/news/new-teaser-for-serbian-film-will-have-you-wondering-what-the-hell-is-wrong-with-these-people-neilm.php>this, for the SFW version click <url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0zPbwuKANU>this. (well, not quite SFW, but certainly less graphic)
On another random note, I really love the <url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QrW31LPz6o>music in the second trailer.

It's movies like this that make me think that true horror movies are dead, the only ones that ever come out are just shock movies that are only scary because someone thought it would be a good idea to fund it.Humiliated Grape said:
but back on topic, I think Saw and hostel were the last movies I saw that took something to far, mind you they were both at my friends house and no one tole me we were going to watch crap like that, when they said horror movie marathon I thought around the lines of Phyco and Silence of the Lambs.
