The Human Centipede (first Sequence)

Contains strong bloody violence, threat and horror

Violence
The actual surgical process of creating the 'human centipede' is not shown in any significant detail. Instead, the nature of the procedure is hinted at by two short scenes. In one, the surgeon removes one of the women's teeth with pliers, resulting in a lot of blood but with the actual process of removal hidden by the positioning of the characters' bodies. In the other, a scalpel is seen cutting into the flesh of a woman's buttocks before a bloody flap of skin is lifted. Other moments of violence include several bloody shootings and the stabbing of a scalpel into a man's legs
Threat and horror
The central conceit, in which three people are surgically attached anus to mouth to share a single gastrointestinal tract, provides the film's elements of horror and threat as the victims are chained up, drugged and left terrified by the surgeon's explanations of what he plans to do to them.
Once the surgery is completed, no detail is shown of the contact between the faces and anuses of the victims, because the attachments between them are covered in bandages. Although the central idea of the film is undoubtedly grotesque and revolting, the scenario is so far-fetched and bizarre that there is no plausible risk of emulation. The film also contains multiple uses of strong language, some strong verbal sex references as a man talks about women being 'wet between the legs', and infrequent non-sexualised nudity as the female victims crawl around with their breasts partially exposed.
