No, it's a political allegory, not just a pathetic excuse for the most extreme violence they can get away with.

Like the Human Centipede
is a metaphor for the extremes of body modification in our society. Or an allegory for how science is dehumanising us

Except the director of the Human Centipede didn't actually claim his film to be anything other
than a really sick idea which he turned into a film. The director of a Serbian Film actually thinks you can use allegory in films.

The director of Human Centipede
Just had a joke with his mates about how paedophiles should have their mouths grafted tp the arses of obese truckers. And thus, a classic was born...

^this
The Hollywood ones are about gore over substance. The foreign ones tend to be ultraviolent to make a point.

I was being sarcastic
It is not a political allegory, it is just an excuse for a very grotesque film. Allegory doesn't work on film, no matter what the director says.

Yes but it is about furthering the plot
Not an excuse to show a frightened lass with her tits out pleading.

How can it further the plot?
I read the synopsis and it was awful. I couldn't spot any meaning to it at all. Suggestion is sometimes more powerful than exactly the same tripe that Saw 261 gives us.

Edit: in fact trying to give it a reason makes it worse. It's a perverse kind of justification. Pretty much the point that Al made above I guess

Maybe it is
But I know I don't like Saw films. I don't know I don't like this until I see it.

It could just be that I want to see if I can handle watching it.*

I realise these are shit arguments but I've been smoking and watching Peep Show in bed all afternoon/evening. My brain is not working at the moment.
