0:00.0 | The Injestion by A passing through B, expression of the expression of sea. |
0:27.0 | The human centipede. This film was about a crazed surgeon called Joseph Heiter who |
0:47.6 | kidnaps three tourists and joins them surgically from mouth to anus. |
0:53.0 | The film in many ways felt like the natural evolution of the torture porn era which had been getting increasingly |
1:05.2 | extreme throughout that decade. But according to six, it was also inspired by the work of |
1:11.6 | Takache Mique and David Lynch as well as of course one of the most |

2:57.0 | Welcome back to the evolution of horror. My name is Mike and as ever I am your host. |
