UPDATE: The British Board of Film Classification eventually unbanned this movie – after 2 minutes and 37 seconds of the footage was deleted from the film.
To just say that this sequel ups the ante of the original would be grossly incorrect. In fact, if you thought the first movie, The Human Centipede I (Full Sequence), was gross, then we suggest you keep a barf bag handy if you dare watch its sequel. Tom Six, the film’s writer and director, pretty much sums up the difference between the two: “…Part one will be “My Little Pony” compared to part two because it’s going to be pretty horrible part two.”

You’ve been warned.

For those unfamiliar with this horrific horror series, The Human Centipede I (Full Sequence) basically revolves around a mad, mad doctor who attempts to stitch 3 people together from anus to mouth to form – you guessed it – a human centipede. (Take a really close look at the movie poster courtesy of IFC).

The first film introduced us to a sick, horrifying idea and presented it to us in as refined a manner as possible. The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) hacks at the elegance of its predecessor, and delivers it in the basest of visual styles – all in grainy black and white film, blood and body parts splashing everywhere. The central character is Martin, a balding bulbous man, who is such a die-hard fan of the first Human Centipede that he attempts to copy the movie to create his own grotesque creation. He’s such a great copycat criminal that he somehow lures Ashlynn Yennie, who played Jenny in the first film, by pretending to be a casting agent for Quentin Tarantino. With a crowbar and gun in hand, Martin carries out his butchery until he finally collects his 12 victims to create his 24-legged centipede.

There really isn’t much more to the plot of this movie. In fact, it simply follows the plot of the original, except with so much more brute force. I can’t imagine people really wanting to pay to see a movie like this. The movie portrays the basest, sickest, darkest side of human nature, and that’s what makes it painfully difficult to watch. Personally, it’s a side of me, or rather, a side of anyone I don’t want to see exist. But then again, it’s a free world out there and you’re all free to see what you want – just as the Brits ultimately decided. My last two cents: skip the soda and popcorn with this one. You’ll thank me afterwards.
