Just perfect...
Good start, but then it gets ruined
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
I think we need a discussion about genres since anything dark or disturbing is being labeled as "horror." I remember when horror movies were about being scared. I remember when movies were made in such a way that you would worry about going to sleep at night or the movie forced you to look over your shoulder as you walked down the road because *insert supernatural bad guy* might get you.Now horror is just about the shock value. Even the corniest horror movies have elements of degradation, violation, and repulsiveness which did not exist some twenty years ago.There is something seriously wrong with the world when someone can not only think up this kind of movie, but get money to actually make it. Someone opened their wallet and said "Sure, I'll help finance a movie about sewing people's lips to someone else's anus. How much do you need?" I feel bad for the actors who are obviously looking for work experience, still, it's hard for me to believe that they didn't think twice before selling themselves out like this.It all feels like sado-masochism to the extreme, where people are enjoying violating people and making people feel disgusted in the extreme.
So what can I say about this film, it was dark, disturbing and repulsive in parts but I had to watch till the end. The lead actor who plays Martin plays him well a damaged man with mental issues probably brought on by being sexually abused by his father and his mother blames him for her husband being in jail. Martin never speaks throughout the film he coughs and cries he lives for his obsession to The Human Centipede film, he has a scrap book which he keeps as his favourite item until his mother tears it up in anger. His rage at this ends in him caving her face in with his crowbar which he uses to knock out his victims in the car park. His job as a car park attendant gives him choices to pick his victims to make his version of the human centipede, once he dumps them in a empty warehouse all bound up with duct tape when he gets his 12 people he then tries to copy what he has seen on the film, here it's a bit different as in the human centipede 1 the doctor actually medically joined digestive systems to each one but Martin lets say joins them up using staples to join mouth to anus so the only way to make them defecate is an injection of laxative to each one and then he found this most entertaining but surely the ones that had to swallow this foulness could have choked.
I hated the first HUMAN CENTIPEDE film so I had some idea what to expect from this one: a bigger budget, more realistic effects, and even poorer taste. THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE II (FULL SEQUENCE) sees a depraved security guard reenacting the events of the first film in his bid to build a longer and better human centipede.It's gross-out stuff throughout, purely designed to shock and revolt, and it's one of the worst things I've seen ever - and that's the cut UK version too (I have no interest in seeing the full uncut edition). Thankfully the film has been converted into black and white so that the gruesome stuff isn't too gruesome, but it's the ideas and the gross surrealism that makes this so sickening.Although this is a US-financed film, it was shot in England with some terrible actors, not least the lead. But there's no semblance of a script, Tom Six instead just goes out of his way to offend with one bad taste or explicit scene after another. The ending is particularly repulsive, but incredibly a third part of the trilogy still follows.
This is "The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence)", an American English-language movie from 4 years ago that runs for slightly under 90 minutes. It is the second installment from a series of (so far) 3 movies. All of these were made by Dutch filmmaker Tom Six and basically deal with sewing human anuses and lips together so that a human being can be nurtured by the digestion of the one in front of him/her. This is obviously a very perverted plot, but you should never judge a book by its cover. I must say I truly enjoyed the first "Human Centipede" film. The action was absurd, the girls were hot and Dieter Laser was simply brilliant. Sadly, the ending of this film did not really offer much room for a sequel.But Six did it nonetheless and the way he constructed thing was actually pretty smart. In this second movie, the action revolves around the first being an actual movie and the protagonist being obsessed with that movie. Six really tried all he could to make this one worth a watch. He turned it into a black-and-white movie. He made the main character totally different from the one in the first film. (Harvey did a good job with what he was given and taking into account he never speaks in here.) He introduced us to the theory of sexual abuse as a reason for this perverted idea. And the inclusion of Ashlyn Yennie's character was pretty smart and well-done as well in the face of her being one of the protagonists from the first film.Still, as a whole, I was slightly disappointed with this movie. There are several plot references that just did not make any sense. He keep hitting the members of his centipede with heavy items to the head that I thought each time they must be dead, but somehow they all lived. In addition, I did not like the penis shots of the protagonist. I'm glad we did not see him ejaculate graphically, but the strength of this franchise is for me about how messed-up the protagonists are and not about how graphic the sexuality and violence is. The latter is obviously unavoidable, but I never watch this film from a sexual perspective. It's nothing wrong with the protagonist feeling sexual pleasure from his centipede and the anal sex scene was truly shocking, but yeah, the penis shots took it on a course that stands contradictory to the idea.Finally, this film is really only worth watching thanks to many great references to the first movie I think. One minor thing would be for example how Heiter wished he had cut the people's vocal chords in the first film and in this one here we have the small fat protagonist actually cut out somebody's tongue. I will probably watch the 3rd film at some point, but it's nothing I cannot wait seeing anymore after watching this pretty mediocre second film. It's probably easier to make a 3rd film than to make this second movie as Martin lived and left here in the end and I see the actor also reappear in the (so far) last installment. We'll see how that one goes. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend movie number 2 though. thumbs down.
