The Human Centipede director Tom Six has admitted the horrifying reason behind how he came up with the idea for the 2010 horror film, which will leave you sick to your stomach
The Human Centipede director got inspiration for the twisted horror from the most twisted place.
Tom Six has previously discussed what happened in the lead up to creating the film and what sparked the gruesome idea.
He said: “I saw a child molester on television and I said: ‘They should stitch this guy with his mouth to the a** of a very fat truck driver.”
“‘It would be a really good punishment for him.’ Then I thought: ‘That’s a cool idea for a film’.”
Six also admitted that he left some details out when pitching the idea to investors.
“We left out the words ‘mouth-to-a**’ because we knew they wouldn’t fund it. If I had mentioned ‘a**-to-mouth,’ I think they would have said: ‘Have a nice day, bye!'”
“But they have seen the film and they loved it. So the trick worked very well, fortunately.”
The Human Centipede follows two girls who are kidnapped, along with another man, by “demented surgeon” Dr Heiter who sews his prisoners’ mouths to their behinds.
Six has also said that he drew on disturbing Nazi medical experiments that took place during World War II.
According to the filmmaker, “there was only one actor who could play the role of Dr Heiter,” a character that was given to Dieter Laser.
“I saw a couple of DVDs where Dieter Laser was playing and I think he’s absolutely a brilliant actor. So we flew to Berlin to meet him and we were very excited about what he would think about my story.”
“I told him in detail and he absolutely loved the idea because he’s just as crazy as I am and in a couple of hours we had a deal and he was the one.”
