Overview
The Human Centipede (First Sequence) is a 2010 Dutch horror movie written and directed by Tom Six. The film narrates the story of a German doctor who kidnaps three tourists and joins them surgically, mouth to anus, forming a "human centipede". According to Six, the notion of the movie arose from a joke he shared with friends about punishing a child molester by stitching his mouth to the anus of a "fat truck driver." Six also stated that motivation for the movie came from Nazi medical experiments passed out during World War II, such as the dealings of Josef Mengele at Auschwitz concentration camp.
When approaching closely to investors prior to filming, Six did not tell the mouth-to-anus aspect of the plot, feeling afraid it would place off potential backers. The financiers of The Human Centipede did not find out the full nature of the film until it was totally complete. The film achieved mixed reviews from mainstream film critics, but it grabbed several accolades at international film festivals. The film was distributed in the United States on a limited release theatrically on 30 April.

Short details of the story
The Human Centipede is an unusual – and medically accurate -- biological horror film that passionately discovers territory that some filmmakers dare to tread. When two good-looking American girls go on a road trip in Europe, they end up by themeselves at night in Germany with a malfunction car in the woods. They explore for help and discover an isolated villa, and wide awake the next day to discover them trapped in a frightening makeshift basement hospital.
Their captor is the globally respected Siamese twin surgeon Dr. Josef Heiter with a crazy vision for mankind's future survival. Dr. Heiter desires to eradicate human beings' kneecaps so they have to survive on all fours and then surgically embed them mouth-to-anus to form a centipede chain. But when his victims give him more mess than he expects – including unnecessary attention from the authorities - Dr. Heiter is required to make a decision whether to discard his most recent project, or defend it from the outside world – with their and his very lives, if compulsory.
