Dread Chats with the Stars of The Human Centipede

Dread Central hit last night’s premiere at Screamfest LA of the much talked about (and sensationally denigrating) Tom Six-written and directed feature The Human Centipede: First Sequence (review here) in Hollywood, CA, and brought back some ocular candy and video of a pair of the film’s stars.

Chatting with The Human Centipede cast members Akihiro Kitamura and Ashley C. Williams, Dread touched on such topics as the film’s subject matter (a deranged surgeon joins together three people in a ghastly and rather uncomfortable experiment), the challenges the actors faced in assuming their roles, and their potential involvement in the announced trilogy (the sequel, The Human Centipede II - The Full Sequence, is planned for 2010), among other things. No word yet on distribution, but given the reaction of the audience in attendance, this one will undoubtedly appeal to those who embraced such recent and edgy flicks as Martyrs and Inside.
