Who was bold enough to pick up the rights?
Strange, but true. Soon, all of you will be able to see The Human Centipede, Tom Six’s film which elicited various reactions from those who saw it on the festival circuit last year.
IFC Films announced this afternoon that it has taken the rights to Centipede. It will get a release this year via the IFC in Theaters platform which brings independent movies to on demand viewers at home the same day they premiere in theaters.
“I can’t remember when I have been as excited and had as much fun being horrified and repulsed while watching a movie,” Jonathan Sehring, President of IFC Entertainment said in a statement. “Echoing back to the early works of David Cronenberg, ‘The Human Centipede’ is a landmark work in the horror genre, taking the “mad doctor” conceit and perversely twisting it into a mind-boggling roller coaster ride. Everyone at IFC is excited to introduce such a unique talent as Tom Six to American audiences and it’s a perfect film for our theatrical and VOD platforms.”
