Product Description
Tom Six's follow up to the cult horror smash hit of 2010 ups the ante with a brute force unparalleled in film today. The iconic Dr. Heiter has inspired a real-life protege, the sickly, disturbed car park attendant -- Martin -- who takes his gory inspiration from the original film to horrific new extremes!
Martin, a mentally disturbed loner who lives with his nagging mother on a bleak London council estate, where loud neighbours and squalid living conditions threaten to plunge this victim of sexual and psychological abuse over the edge. Working the night shift as an attendant at an underground car park, he indulges his obsession with The Human Centipede (First Sequence) watching the film over and over on a laptop in his office and meticulously examining the scrapbook he has lovingly filled with memorabilia from the film, including the ass-to-mouth surgery instructions made famous by Dr. Heiter, the mad scientist from Martin s favourite movie. Pushed to the brink by his harridan mother and haunted by the teasing voices of his abusive and imprisoned father, Martin sets into motion his plan to emulate Heiter s centipede by creating his own version. In a rented warehouse, he begins to acquire victims, including his loud, violent neighbour, a prostitute and her lecherous client, and several more... including Martin s pièce de résistance, one of the actresses from The Human Centipede (First Sequence). Although lacking the medical skills of his hero, Martin soldiers on with grotesque DIY gusto, along with a healthy supply of duct tape, household tools and staple guns!
What follows is one of the most harrowing and terrifying films ever conceived, featuring a central character that makes Dr. Heiter seem tame in comparison. The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence) is a triumph in biological horror by one of the new masters of the horror film.

Somehow, this film has not only managed to be disgusting and ridiculous but also hilarious.
The story this time around focuses on a mentally impaired individual named Martin who is obsessed with The Human Centipede and watches endlessly. He even has his own Human Centipede scrapbook that he has lovingly crafted.
Not only is Martin obsessed and fascinated with the image/idea of a human centipede he is also sexually aroused by it.
Now, I'm not going to go into too much detail regarding the events of the movie, but if what I've already written (and what you may already of heard) about the movie sounds ridiculous, that's because it is.
In my opinion the movie is intentionally ridiculous and over the top. It is afterall, about someone who watches a movie and then goes out and copies what they saw occuring on the screen.
The majority of us know that is a ridiculous notion, but censorship groups and the like will often state that a movie is 'damaging' to the general public because 'the events depicted could be copied by someone in real life.'
This just shows how ridiculous that notion is.
The film is shot in black and white and the performances are good, especially from Laurence R. Harvey as the disturbed Martin. He portrays the charcter with a clever mixture of psychosis and childlike glee. His performance is particularly good as the character doesn't say a word throughout the entire movie.
For those (like myself) who thought that the surgery scene in the first film needed to be more graphic, then you will not be dissapointed this time around. Although Martin's medical skills leave a lot to be desired, he is afterall a security guard and not a surgeon.

Good series of films but quite sickly, don't eat your dinner while watching ha ha. Good horror movie though for all gore fans.

I saw the original Human Centipede (please don't ask me why). It was okay, for a slightly weird and depraved horror movie. So I guess I felt compelled to watch the sequel.
It's a sequel in the same way the Blair Witch Project 2 is a sequel to the first. The Human Centipede 2 starts off showing that the first part was a film and focuses on the creepiest man in London, aka Martin, obsessing about it and wanting to re-enact it.
The film's first half is like a London-based version of David Lynch's Eraserhead - full of weird (and horrible) characters all shot in black and white (I don't know why the film is shot in black and white, but it is). The second half gives you what you came for - assuming you came for the gore and general distaste.
Now, I'm well aware that horror is meant to scare/disgust/disturb etc, so I don't normally mention the acting ability, but, during those rare moments of dialogue (and there aren't many - it could practically be a silent film) the actors really are pretty bad. Perhaps it's best that they spend most of their time screaming?
What's it like? It's hard to say. If you want to be disturbed, the film succeeds. However, if you want a story - forget it. The third act is pretty hard to watch and I found myself looking away a couple of times (but then I did have a knee operation myself - you'll have to watch the film to understand).
Fair play to the filmmakers for finding the creepiest leading man in the world and putting him in the sickest film, but don't expect much of a plot. There are numerous plot holes that don't make much sense or aren't too realistic. I hear the censors made the filmmakers make 32 cuts - perhaps that would explain why a few things don't add up?...

I believe this DVD is the edited version of Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence). Apparently it was originally banned and later granted a release under the BBFC's condition that certain cuts were made.
Even without the genitals in barbed wire and extra snippets of violence, it's mighty strong stuff. The plot revolves around a mentally unstable man attempting to build his own real-life human centipede, after becoming obsessed with the first film. Hmm. How postmodern.
It has been shot in colour and converted to black and white in post production. Not quite sure why. Occasionally I get the impression director Tom Six wants to emulate Eraserhead or Man Bites Dog, but Human Centipede 2 is nowhere near as good. Maybe the absence of red and brown liquids gets past the censors and is financially lucrative. The jury is still out on this one.
The story is as follows - A warped car park attendant called Martin sets out to humiliate, torture and kill lots of people in close-up photography. The end.
There is very little script beyond screaming, expletives and brief explanations of dysfunctional behaviour. Martin doesn't utter a single word and some of the violence is poorly choreographed. At one point Ashlynn Yennie `punches' Martin in the genitals. I had to watch the shot twice to figure out why Martin collapsed in agony, such was the flimsy nature of Yennie's attack. By contrast, the scenes of Martin's attempted cosmetic surgery and forced coprophagia are a little too effective for my tastes. Others may choose to disagree.
People love getting their knickers in a twist about the BBFC, but the video nasties debacle was a long time ago and sometimes film-makers get what they deserve.... Read more ›
