Vomit as praise? Folks behind ‘The Human Centipede’ get creative

Vomit as praise? Folks behind ‘The Human Centipede’ get creative

The 2010 shocker “The Human Centipede” isn’t your ordinary film. So promoting the movie’s Blu-ray release on Oct. 5 takes a little … creativity.

Consider the Blu-ray cover itself. Instead of slapping “Four Star Reviews by So and So” across the front and back, the folks at IFC went another route:

“I honestly got sick, and that’s the highest compliment I can give a horror film.” – Director Eli Roth

“It’s to my fellow depravity-heads that I recommend ‘The Human Centipede.’” Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly.

The packaging even includes a quote from Roger Ebert who refused to give a star rating to the unconventional horror film. WWTW filed a “Centipede” review earlier this year, but I’ll be re-watching the film and file a new review complete with comments on the Blu-ray extras.
