The follow-up to the "shocking" movie The Human Centipede, and centers on Martin, a night time security guard who is a big fan of the original movie and fetishizes the incredible skills of Dr Heiter...and wants to make a 12 person "full sequence" human centipede. After kidnapping the people he wants for his project, then then goes about making his creation, but with the lack of medical equipment uses kitchen utensils and household tools instead.
Although the movie was shot in color, the movie is in black and white, Tom Six said that while he was editing it he thought black and white was much scarier. It does kind of add an atmosphere to it, but I'm not sure it makes it scarier....after all, you would have to make it more scary and less boring first.
An interesting thing of note was that Ashlynn Yennie played herself in the movie and is part of the human centipede Martin makes.
The movie was initially banned in the UK by the BBFC in June, but was granted an 18 rating in October after 32 cuts to the movie totaling 2 minutes and 37 seconds....I'm not sure what the cuts were, although I viewed the uncut version and to be honest, I really don't understand what all the fuss was about....sure this movie is "worse" than the original (on many levels including quality) but I have seen movies with worse in that haven't been banned.
If you liked the first movie (which I do not, I also found that movie boring) you may like this...it does try to ramp up the ramp a little more but to be honest it really isn't that good, there was no real story to it and it just felt like it was made for the sake of being made.
Not a great movie... 4/10
The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) is rated 18 and in UK cinemas now and available for download in the US.
