I can’t remember seeing a film so depraved, immoral, and
pointless as William Friedkin’s Killer
Joe, based on the play by Tracy Letts. Of course, I’ve never seen The Human Centipede, so there may be
hope yet. I’ve seen it described as a dark comedy and yet I found no humor in
it. It is full of characters so stupid, who make such bad decisions – life-changing
decisions – without much thought, that it’s almost impossible to side with
anyone. There is perhaps one exception in the form of a pure innocent young
woman, but she is such an odd portrait of a human being that her entire
character has no credibility.
