A lot of "free speech believers" claim this movie should be banned. That fact alone garnered an additional star from me.
Mr. Laser is a phenomenal mad scientist. He barely even has to act. His face alone is enough to creep you out.
The concept is twisted and the execution is depraved. If you've seen films like Hostel or Salo, and not freaked out or fainted, don't expect to see something worse. The gore in this one, for the most part, is implied. This low-budget gag-fest does a great job of giving you just enough indications to keep your mouth open and your eyes glued.
Aside from Dieter Laser, the acting in this film is atrocious. The two lead females are two of the most annoying characters (prior to both of them not being able to talk) I've seen in a long time. To be fair, they do a decent job of on-screen crying and looking really scared. The Japanese guy is decent, and has a really well-acted scene at the end.
Overall, this is a decent low-budget horror flick with solid scenery and great usage of lighting and atmosphere. The centipede is twisted enough to keep a horror fan's interest, but not so over-the-top that it looks cheesy. Anybody that says any film should be banned should re-evaluate their values. This is fiction and everyone has a voice....even if it's one you don't like. Really this movie is a 5/10 or 6/10 if I'm feeling generous, but because it has offended so many mainstream movie-goers so badly that they feel the need to sign up on IMDb and WARN the world and call for a ban....it gets a 7/10.
