We start off with two extremely unlikable, generic lead characters who are American, on the cliched "European" vacation, while in Germany they decide to go meet a guy. This leads to them getting lost in the woods. Seeing as how the female characters are written as a couple of no common-sense idiots, while lost and now with a flat tire and no cell phone signal, they decide to wander into THE WOODS instead of staying on the road, because, you know, street smarts: they don't have 'em. How they managed to find their way to the airport in the United States to get to Europe is beyond me. Although, needless to say, this is the cliched and trite segue needed…

This was so far removed from the c-tier shock-trash I was expecting, delivering instead genuinely unnerving psychological and physical torment that relies more on mental degradation rather than cheap gags. A who-knows-where house, consisting of tight corridors and low ceilings, is used for the locale and it's situational closeness delivers a sense of inescapable terror. I particularly enjoyed the complete lack of information on the location of the house (a technique used to embody the character's own sense of mystery and downright confusion), all I knew was that the house is randomly stumbled is upon after a walk through the woods—not even a hint is given as to where it is or even how isolated it is, just that these…

Y'see... this is a hard film to review. Or rather, it's a hard film to come into objectively. Because if you're watching it, the chances are great that you knew what it was about going in. And if you DID, you've probably already made your mind up about it. I DID. I will never forget the first time I saw the trailer for it. I was laughing and disgusted all at the same time. Then I watched it, and... I didn't really get the movie I was expecting. I got one that was both better AND worse than I thought it'd be.

For one thing, it's a slightly more psychological movie than the trailer made it look. Be honest-…

Después de los numerosos vídeos de las reacciones de la gente al ver el trailer de El ciempiés humano y el fenómeno odio/amor que se generó, la curiosidad me mataba. Tenía que descubrir de que bando estaba, estoy en el de amor.

De primeras podemos ver que hay una dirección y una actuación de cine. Tom Six maneja bien los planos y el guión, dejándonos claro que no nos encontramos ante un producto de serie B. Se nota un amor retorcido por esta creación, Tom Six lo da todo por su obra y lo que quiere contar. Dieter Laser se luce, realmente me sorprendió una actuación tan brillante en un papel tan trillado como científico loco, provocando la tensión solo…
