The Human Centipede:

  • One might make an educated guess of what it is from the title, but it is so much worse. This clip alone can be emotionally scarring; do not view it under any circumstances if you are faint of heart or possess a weak stomach. Once viewed, it cannot be unseen.
    • For those not in the know, it gives proof once and for all why you never go ass to mouth. The tl;dr is that Heiter is giving Jenny, Lindsay, and Katsuro an explanation in graphic detail exactly how he's going to attach each "segment" from one's mouth to another's anus, making a complete digestive tract.
  • Jenny sobbing brokenly for her mom and begging Lindsay for help as Heiter is forcefully sedating everyone before surgery. Shit in the mouth is one thing, but that kind of raw despair? That is disturbing.
  • Heiter himself is a Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant. A deranged Mad Doctor who loves to inflict pain to innocent people and then playing with them simply for giggles. The part when he explains the operation to his captives is quite unnerving. You can see pure evil madness in his face.
  • Even the poster is disturbing. It depicts a man on his knees with a look of pure agony on his face with two extra pairs of hands, pressed up against a pane of frosted glass that's covered in bloody handprints.
  • In the end, Katsuro, Jenny, the police officers conducting the investigation, and Josef Heiter himself are all dead. The Sole Survivor is Lindsay, who's still stuck between the other two parts of the centipede, alone, and with nobody to help her.

The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence)

  • Twelve people going ass to mouth instead of three people.
    • While in the first movie the creation of the centipede is done by an actual doctor in a makeshift operating room, here it's just some random obsessed fan using household tools to try (and in some cases fail) to replicate what was in the first film.
    • Martin breaking a man's teeth while making his centipede.
    • Martin wraps barbed wire around his penis and anally rapes a helpless, constricted, pregnant woman without mercy.
    • Later that pregnant woman escapes and gives birth in the car. Very graphically. What else is graphic? Her stomping the pedal down on her own baby's head just to get away. In a series otherwise consisting of nothing more than mind-numbing shock value and over-the-top gore, this is widely considered by many to be the most genuinely disturbing scene in the entire series.
