Goofs
Though possible, the ingestion of human excrement would most likely have cause the individual to throw up, thus leading to the individual's demise as they would choke on their own vomit and the excrement.

When Lindsay is in the pool her hairstyle changes between shots.
Share this
When Lindsey is hiding in the doctor's bedroom and screams, "You're a sick man; you need help!" you can see a face move in the mirror behind her (which is definitely not hers because of the hair).

Q
How did Dr. Heiter carry the three victims upstairs and downstairs alone?
A
This movie gives no clue as to how this was accomplished. Viewers have suggested several possibilities: (1) Heiter carried them upstairs in the cage on top of a wheeltray. (2) there is a door in the cellar leading directly to the garden, which then slopes round to the ground floor so that the path is level to both the cellar and the ground floor, (3) there is a hatch in the floor and the cable hoist is used to raise/lower the cage, or (4) there is an unseen service elevator.
Q
What terrible things did Katsuro confess to doing?
A
He confesses to casting out his parents, abandoning his child, dismissing their love, and leading a selfish life. He compares his existence to that of an insect, maybe even lower.
Q
In what language is this movie?
A
The two American women, Lindsay (Ashley C. Williams) and Jenny (Ashlynn Yennie) speak English only. Dr Heiter (Dieter Laser) speaks both English and German. Katsuro (Akihiro Kitamura), speaks only Japanese. Depending upon the version of the movie that is being watched (e.g., Netflix, Redbox, DVD, etc.), subtitles may or may not be provided.
