An absolutely brilliant masterpiece. I watch this film with my 5 daughters, all 6 years old and in the first grade, every single night before bed. Puts the kiddos right to sleep. In fact, instead of lullabies or stories, I simply rotate through the Human Centipede series. In addition to helping out with the kids, my wife and her boyfriend also adore this film, and sometimes the three of us will see it together! I would absolutely recommend this film to anyone with small children or a fear of anything gory. This family-friendly crowd-pleaser doesn't need gore when it has such an amazing plot and character development.
