Reviews

Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
Unlike its obvious influence, the 1999 Japanese shocker "Audition," The Human Centipede has no real-world echoes. It's an only-in-the-movies sick goof.
80
Village Voice - Unnamed
Centipede plays on the notion that the only thing more frightening than death is a state bridging life and death, in which, though one's body is no longer his own to control, the mind remains conscious.
75
New York Post - V.A. Musetto
Dieter Laser is grand as the doc, a character Christopher Walken would be comfortable doing, and Akihiro Kitamura provides laughs as the first part of the centipede.
50
Boxoffice Magazine - Amy Nicholson
More of a stunt than a script, The Human Centipede (First Sequence) should get a modest amount of I-dare-you ticket sales, but it's about as mass market as a dogfight.
50
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
The only way to react is by bringing a barf bag or a strong sense of gallows humor.
