Let me just follow your train of thought here: “I see, if they put the Japanese guy up front, the lack of an emotional response would make it easier for the doctor to train and hide the centipede! Genius!”

Edit: Unless this was explicitly stated by the movie, which would make that particular thought process marginally better.

It is pretty damn obvious in the movie, yes. Tom Six has also said the same thing in interviews. “Why the **** do you read interviews with ****ty horror directors?” I like to know what’s going on behind the small budget. It’s been mentioned before, he did a good job with it. He lucked out a bit with casting the doctor. It would have received more funding as a slightly less controversial film in a different genre. With the kind of corporate funding needed for a bigger budget film though, I’m not entirely sure Six would have been allowed to make the social commentary as effective as he said he wanted to. All I was getting at, Six put a lot of thought into THC, it will always be fail for reasons beyond its control, and I appreciate the effort.

While the horror movie genre in general sucks terribly (not inherently, just the idiots who make them) this movie was especially bad.

Tom Six should have just made another movie where an insane redneck chases 12 moronic teenagers with an aggregate IQ of 80 around a forest or big house in the middle of nowhere and kills them gruesomely one by one. (But then again, far from being scared, most people love watching dumb teenagers get mbumacred)

I disagree. There are TONS of movies about dumb teenagers getting slaughtered, we don’t need any more. It’s rare that I find something even worth talking about in the slasher/gore horror genre. THC is one of them for the reasons I stated in the OP. If the horror genre disappoints you in general, maybe you should watch some good Korean psych-horror or Lovecraftian ****.
