The Human Centipede

Friday, August 29 - Saturday, August 30, 2025

SHOWTIMES AT IFC CENTER

Truly one-of-a-kind, Tom Six’s hair-raising bio-horror vision opens as two young American women on a carefree European road trip find themselves alone in the woods at night when their car breaks down. Searching for help at a nearby villa, they fall into the clutches of a deranged retired surgeon obsessed by a mad scientific fantasy: to surgically connect people, one to the next, via their gastric system and create the first “human centipede.” 100% medically accurate.
