15 Best Horror Movies To Watch On Netflix This Halloween

6. The Human Centipede (First Sequence)

You can say this for Tom Six: he’ll never be mistaken for Walt Disney. A filmmaker with the appeal of an early 70s John Waters, Six spins an outrageous story with sledgehammer subtlety but tells it with such conviction that you don’t want to look away. His masterpiece thus far is The Human Centipede (First Sequence), a movie that goes out of its way to shock and disturb.

The Film tells the story of Dr Heiter (Dieter Laser), a gifted surgeon whose specialty is separating conjoined twins, but since his retirement, he’s concentrated mainly on his favourite hobby: joining creatures together. In order to give himself a “pet”, he kidnaps three tourists and connects them mouth to anus so that they share a single digestive system.

The pet must then be housebroken, so Heiter teaches the trio to move as one in his garden, beating them when they fail or when their cries keep him awake at night. Because you’re not required to show modesty around pets, he even disrobes in front of them before taking a swim in his birthday suit.
