The Human Centipede...Disgusting Gross-out Movie or Pure Artistry?

For those of you who don't know, or have heard about this movie but have never seen it, "The Human Centipede" is a movie directed by Tom Six.  This movie is 100% medically accurate.  Over the past year, it has been pinned as "one of the sickest movies of all time."  Tom Six has stated that he has "even gotten death threats on facebook about it."  For those of you who don't know what this movie is about, here is the synopsis thanks to IMDB:
Two pretty but ditsy American girls are on a road trip through Europe. In Germany, they end up alone at night with a broken car in the woods. They search for help and find an isolated villa. The next day, they awaken to find themselves trapped in a terrifying makeshift basement hospital along with a Japanese man. An older German man identifies himself as a retired surgeon specialized in separating Siamese twins. However, his three "patients" are not about to be separated but joined together in a horrific operation. He plans to be the first person to connect people via their gastric systems. By doing so, he plans to bring to life his sick lifetime fantasy, the human centipede.


You can see by reading the description why people would call this "one of the sickest movies of all time." but the fact is, none of the parts involving corprophilia are shown on screen.  Everything is in your head.  You know what's happening and you're imagining it as it was you that was being connected ass to mouth with three other people.  The operation isn't even shown on camera, nor are the people's mouths connected to the other person's ass. In my opinion its pure artistry.  The fact that someone can make a movie, and most of the disturbing parts aren't even onscreen, yet it can still be pinned as disgusting and be banned in a number of countries is amazing to me.  The best part of the whole this is the mere fact that it is 100% medically accurate.


Now, Tom Six is releasing a sequel to "The Human Centipede", and my opinion is that he's doing it just to show the world that he can make something even more disgusting.  the first film is supposed to be like "My Little Pony compared to the first film."  To give you an idea of what this film will be about:
Martin is a mentally disturbed loner who lives with his mother in a bleak housing project. He works the night shift as a security guard in an equally grim and foreboding underground parking complex. To escape his dreary existence, Martin loses himself in the fantasy world of the cult horror film The Human Centipede (First Sequence), fetishizing the meticulous surgical skills of the gifted Dr. Heiter, whose knowledge of the human gastrointestinal system inspires Martin to attempt the unthinkable. 


This film is all shot in black and white, which, in my opinion may add to the artistry behind the movie, giving it a more dreary like effect.  The only thing I'm not looking forward to in this film is the fact that Ashlynn Yennie is a part of the Pede.  This makes no sense to me, seeing as she was casted in the first film, but we'll see how Mr. Six pulls it off!  Very excited.
