A Georgian localization would be impossible not only because of censorship or language, but because the film has nothing to say to a culture that has already survived actual centipedes of the state. In the end, qartulad fails because the film itself fails: it mistakes volume for meaning, and cruelty for critique. Gelashvili, T. (2018). Soviet Legacies in Georgian Memory: Trauma and Testimony .

This paper proceeds in three parts. First, a summary of The Human Centipede 3 and its place in transgressive cinema. Second, an analysis of the linguistic and cultural impossibilities of a Georgian localization. Third, a critical reading of the film’s politics, arguing that even a hypothetical Georgian version could not salvage its shallow provocation. The Human Centipede 3 follows Bill Boss (Dieter Laser), the sadistic warden of a failing US private prison. After being denied funding for a new execution chamber, Boss—advised by the docile accountant Dwight (Laurence R. Harvey)—creates a “human centipede” of 500 inmates. The film abandons the medical pseudo-realism of the first film and the ethical ambiguity of the second for cartoonish brutality: Boss rapes, mutilates, and castrates prisoners and staff, drinks blood mixed with Viagra, and forces inmates to eat rat carcasses. The final centipede, stitched mouth-to-anus, marches pointlessly across a desert.
