There has been a lot of news for The Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence released in the past few days. The first Human Centipede was one of my favorite horror films of the past several years. Granted, that film was terribly acted and had some serious logic flaws, but Dr. Heiter was a great character and the whole concept of the film was totally bonkers. It was the highlight of my annual horror movie festival that I host for my friends every year. It was a ton of fun to get my buddies together to watch them squirm for an hour and a half.
The director, Tom Six, promised a sequel that would make the first seem like a Saturday morning cartoon. We'll find out soon if he succeeded. News came a few months ago that the film would be banned in the United Kingdom and would require edits to get rated for release here in the United States. But, the promotion machine has started up, and we'll be seeing more about the sequel soon.
The first of the new information about The Human Centipede 2 comes in the form of an Australian trailer that takes the two-girls-one-cup approach of showing reactions of people as they watch the film. It's kindof obvious that these are actors and that their shock and discomfort have been paid for. Still, the amount of screaming in the background makes it an effective teaser. You know some bad stuff is going down. It also makes me really want to travel to Australia for a weekend to catch the real, uncut film.
The next bit of news is an official trailer that shows a little actual footage from the sequel.
I will say that Martin is a seriously creepy guy, and the thought of him recreating the events from the first film is very disturbing. Those bug eyes and tubby body are the exact opposite of the cool and refined Dr. Heiter. This guy ‘looks’ totally off his rocker. Also, I hope the whole film is presented in black and white. That's a cool look.
The final bit of news is that The Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence will be premiering at Fantastic Fest in Austin, TX during the last week of September. Reviews will be following soon, so we’ll know if Tom Six succeeded in creating one of the wildest and most disturbing movies of all time.
Who wants to come with me to Texas to see a movie in which this is the bad guy?
