The Human Centipede 3

This is not a movie it is an assault. I have seen worse 'movies', more horrible sights, more visually foul concepts, acting, writing, directing, etc. But this... is not that. It is some of that, bad on each and every single front of filmmaking I can think of. But this... is somehow worse. This isn't simply a sadistic, visually foul exercise in scatological perversion... This is an abhorrent, indulgent display of each and every atrocious behavior and notion ramped to ludicrous excess. Misogyny, homophobia, racism, torture, sadism all taken to simultaneously horrific and cartoonish extremes. Its not fun, its not shocking, its not clever, it is simply foul. I will grudgingly admit that the main character's spectacle of pure insanity is an amazing display of maniacal excess and the cinematic equivalent of watching passenger trains derail smearing their cargo over miles, horrific yet somehow stunning to witness. There's a dark hilarity to his performance, seemingly so out-of-tune with the rest of the film I wonder how much was performance and how much is the actor itself. Regardless of brief bursts of fascination, I would not recommend or inflict this film upon any single individual on this planet and wonder what offense I had given to the individual who first recommended it.
