  The first film, although gross and completely sickening, actually had a point and I could see that there was a great story to of the Doctor to be told. Here, however, we have a team trying to cash in on the first film with no real effort. It's utterly horrendous and uncalled for. There was a slight bit of goodness in the aspect of abuse suffered by Martin but it was taken out of context and turned into something awful. If they kept it more subtle and more about the Martin's abuse-filled life rather than a pathetic centipede it could have been something. Also, how on earth could none of them escape? Adrenaline does brilliant things to the human body.

  [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon13.gif[/img] I think we can all agree that the first "Centipede" movie, wasn't at all horrifying and consequently just plain stupid. Every second of Full Sequence isn't any more horrible and follows the formula of it's predecessor with the exception of no dialogue. Like the original, the cinematography is pretty good but for those who dont know it's entirely shot in black and white. But it really doesn't alter how savagely unfrightening it is. Like the first one, if it was trying to scare me instead of make me feel weird Full Sequence definetely fooled me. It's not shocking whatsoever whether you saw the original or not. However it occured to me that it was rather funny and uniquely intriguing. Well, when it happened the first time round.

  I am apparently one of the few people who really enjoyed The Human Centipede: First Sequence. Before seeing that film, I was already aware that writer/director Tom Six had a sequel in the works that was going to have a 12 person centipede, but I had no idea what to make of that prior to watching the original film. However, after having seen First Sequence, I remember saying to my friend that I don't think a sequel is even warranted for this film. Everything that Six wanted to do with this premise he accomplished with this first film. What would be the point of a sequel? If he just wants to make a movie that's bloodier and more gross, he's negating the artistry he possessed in making the original. Yes, The Human Centipede: First Sequence was not just torture porn. Read my review and maybe I can convince you to give it a chance. But everything that most people thought that first film was, this sequel is. It's a pointless exercise in trying to depict as many twisted, depraved, and disturbing acts to innocent people as the censors will allow. The tagline for The Human Centipede: Full Sequence is the exact opposite of the first film - 100% medically inaccurate. That means that there is no surgery. The main character is a mentally challenged but deranged obese security guard named Martin. He's obsessed with Tom Six's original movie (yes, it's a meta-movie) and decides he wants to re-create that film with more people. But Martin doesn't have a surgical background. Thus, this entire movie is Martin abducting characters with no personality - most of the time you don't see these characters actually being captured, and since Martin is a dimwitted fool, it's hard to believe how he actually kidnaps them. You get to endure Martin creating his human centipede with whatever tool happens to be lying around. It's a full 90 minutes of this. There is no story to care about, this main character goes through no change and is thus completely unidentifiable. The logic of how any of this can plausibly happen is beyond any suspension of disbelief, particularly since all these abductions happen within sight of security cameras. The gory scenes are gross, cringe-worthy, and unrestrained, and if these scenes are the only reason you want to watch a movie like this, you and I have very different opinions about what makes a good horror movie. Tom Six has done a complete 180 and made a despicable, disposable, needless film that offers nothing but contempt for its audience. This film is a disgrace to the horror genre.

  The first half is pretty slow but had enough black humor to keep me entertained but when the blood starts flowing I was quickly was turned off by it's nasty mean-spiritedness that quickly desensitized me from the film. It ultimately winds up being an over the top shocking-for-the-sake-of-being-shocking shtick. What these amateur director's never seem to understand is that just because you can doesn't mean you should.

  Roger Ebert on The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence): "The film is reprehensible, dismaying, ugly, artless and an affront to any notion, however remote, of human decency." I have a question for you Mr. Ebert: did you honestly expect an artistic masterpiece from a movie called Human Centipede? Chances are, if you are planning on viewing this film, it's either because you loved the first one and want to be grossed out, or you're just a sadistic maniac, much like the main character in this film. I, for one, am a horror maniac, and watch as many indie-horrors as I can. I knew exactly what I was getting into watching this, and I was not disappointed. Rather than spoil the film with the most spoilable plot, I'm going to get on with the review. So, if you know me well, you'll know I'm a pretty big horror buff, and a huge fan of the first Human Centipede, so the fact that I loved this too did not come as a surprise. The second addition in the trilogy (yes, a third has been announced), is obviously more crackpot-loony than the first, on almost every level. From the films gruesome opening shot, to the last five minutes prior to the credits (which stands as quite possibly the craziest moment in horror-film history). The film receives most of it's craziness from the brilliant, sadistic, creepy, graphic, underacted, and fantastic performance from newcomer Laurence R. Harvey, who makes his debut as the demented Martin. I had no words after the film ended. I mean, WOW! If the academy had ANY interest in this film, he should at least be nominated for best actor. I should also mention he has NO dialogue in the film. Not a word. He coughs a whole lot though, and has a brief crying scene, but is quiet for the most part, which actually makes it even creepier! Mr. Tom Six, you have outdone yourself. Just when you think a film such as The Human Centipede cannot be out-grossed, this sadistic madman manages to do so. This writer/director knows how to touch your "barf" bone. The way he shoots it is absoPOOPly insane, particularly one scene towards the end, that is the most shocking, revolting, disgusting moment I've seen in film. The film goes scene to scene with an unparalleled amount of tension, as we see the world through Martin's eyes, and it ain't pretty. The effects are much more balanced and realistic than the first, which didn't come as a huge surprise considering the major success of the first one, Six took advantage of his bigger budget, and added a whole lot more poop, blood, guts, and newborns. Again, I'm going to mention that this is a sadistic film, that should NOT be watched. This review is not a recommendation, as most people would be turned off by a film such as this; but for that 2% who are Centipede crazed, this will not disappoint. I'm proud to state that I loved this film. It may not be a masterpiece, but it is incredibly unique in concept, and the execution is quite good. My grade was lowered to a "B" just for the factor that I can't imagine myself ranking this film up with "A's" such as Attack The Block, Drive, and X-Men: First Class, but it is easily the years best horror film (yes, outranking Fright Night). An all around sadistic time. Highly recommended.

  "The Human Centipede 2" is a film that is worse than being in a jail cell waiting to be raped. To call this film disturbing is like calling the first instalment the movie that scarred you for life. This time, an obese (mentally insane) man constantly views the events of the first film and get's the idea that it would be fun to multiply the numbers by 4. He needs the actress of the first film to be the leader, so he makes up some plan that involves Quentin Tarantino's new film that is holding auditions? The first half of the film is easy to make fun of, but by the time he has everyone ready to become the masterful centipede (the human millipede). This is easily, the most grotesque, disturbing, sick-minded, gut-wrenching, and evilly directed. It feels too real for the director to have any excuse for why he is not the sickest mind on the planet. Director Tom Six should go through rehab in order to sort out his demented mind. Stapling mouth to ass, taking a plier to remove a tongue, killing a newborn baby with a foot pedal, medically forcing diarea into the mouths of the next person in line, and permanently scarring my mind forever. I would normally be able to forget about a film and think of it as just a film, but to think about how the director can make such a film is more than depressing. I will never recommend this film to anyone, but I will now recommend the original. This film is so disgusting, that it makes the first film feel like a mickey mouse episode. The first time I was at a loss of words, but this time, I have too many words to say. If I stop talking about it, then my mind will go crazy thinking about it. The absolute, most disgusting and disturbing film ever to be placed on screen. By the end of the movie I felt like I had already threw up over 100 times. I think I'm going to cry! P.S. 1/2 star is as low at the rating system goes. I want to give this film 0!

  There is only one aspect of ''The Human Centipede 2'' that I can say is decent and that's Laurence R. Harvey, the lead actor. His performance is solid for the most part, providing weird but interesting facial expressions and proving to be the right man to cast as Martin. Everything else however, is crap! The rest of the the acting, the so called ''plot'', the way the film drags on and on and on. It is incredibly repetitive and is not even disturbing in a grotesque way. It is more disturbing that this is the kind of film that is playing in some theatres right now. There are filmmakers all over the world who have an appreciation for film and want to try and make a truly great piece of art. Yet Tom Six comes along and gives us a self-indulgent, stupid and boring ''film''. Why? Why should people feel the need to see this?

  The first "Human Centipede" is the type of movie that you either have to be dared to watch, or your just sick(which I am). To actually go out of your way to seek the second movie, your very sick(which again I am). This was a movie that I had to see out of shear morbid curiosity. I had heard so much sick stuff about it, that if I didn't watch it, I'd feel like I missed out. What I got was a movie much, much sicker than the first, but also not nearly as entertaining(yeh, I thought the first one was entertaining). The first movie has almost a tongue in cheek approach to the whole thing and offers some genuinely funny moments. Part 2 is basically the director's(Tom Six) way of saying "yeh here I'm gonna try to gross you out and make you throw up". The story is weak and honestly doesn't go anywhere. A gross fat guy named "Martin" is obsessed with the first movie, and he then goes on a kidnapping and killing spree to form a full 12 person human centipede. There's a lot of violence, masturbation, sick images, and poop(lots of poop). The whole thing is in black and white(well except the poop is artistically brown), and it adds a neat vibe to the movie, but really it doesn't help. Also the movie has very little dialogue. Martin never speaks just wheezes and giggles(I guess to make him seem crazier?). Other than being curious about seeing something so crazy, this is a pretty forgettable horror flick that has no real substance. Not gonna say don't watch it, because some of the stuff is so crazy it must be seen to believe. But if you have a weak stomach or are just a generally sane human, then watch something else. This is 80 minutes you'll want back. Who am I kidding though, if they make a part 3 "Human Centipede the whole mother f''n sequence", I'll have to check it out too.

  As a criticism on the restraint of the first film and the crude obsession of fan fiction, 'Human Centipede 2' is dementedly spellbinding and daring. As a sequel, it contorts and inverts with diametrical opposites. Rather than the lean, athletic Dr. Heiter who spoke with eloquence, we have the slovenly, porcine Martin who wheezes with asthma throughout and never utters a word. It's actually a sterling silent film performance from Harvey. The 2010 predecessor was in color, the second film is in black-and-white like a French new-wave film. What was hinted at originally is now ossified with full graphic exposure to the ghastly teeth hammerings and stapled mouths to anuses. Nevertheless the film is never truly unpleasant because of its meta gallows humor and Six's panache. An eruptive laxative scene is ripped from a Mel Brooks film and the film as a whole is a vehemently acrid black comedy.

  really brutally messed up, not in a good way, loved the first one, this one really brings out a lot of extremly graphic ''SHIT'' and images that make ''Serbian Film'' look like a test run. Gotta say, I had a morbid fascination, I couldn't stop watching the ''shit''. As horribly disgusting as it is, its something you have to watch if you liked the first one, or have a hard on for movies that are banned in more than one country for offensive material that wont go by censorship. the story was ace for a sequel, really wanted to know how they would continue the story and this was a great idea.

  While the idea of this sequel seems good on paper, it's too overwhelming on screen. The killer is a short, fat, psycho named Martin who watched the first Human Centipede on his laptop. So this one is supposed to be reality while the first didn't happen and it was only a movie. The movie falls when it becomes overly disgusting and unrealistic. One part is so nasty and ridiculous that it's laugh-out-loud funny. And it's significantly more graphic as we actually see the remains of a woman's head after it was bludgeoned repeatedly with a crowbar and a girl's tongue being ripped out. While I gave Tom Six credit for making an original concept in the first, he gets credit again here for making an even crazier and more menacing villain. Martin is a mute loser who lives with his mom, and he's one of the most insane movie characters I've ever seen. The unrealistic aspect comes into play when Martin manages to staple the victims' mouths to "the other end." How can someone who has no experience in the medical field manage to successfully perform a very complex and dangerous operation that involves 12 people? It made sense in the first one because the villain was an actual surgeon. The Human Centipede 2 boasts an interesting concept, but the movie slowly unfolds into something that's unrealistic and way too nasty for even the strong-stomached viewers.

  Clearly this film is not for everyone...or anyone (?). I couldn't even find anyone to go see this with me, so I ended up watching it online at SUNDANCENOW. Unlike the first film, which was not very graphic, HC2 throws EVERYTHING at you (and the screen) to make up for its past "transgressions". In a word, it's DISGUSTING. Other words? VILE, NAUSEATING, UGLY, and WRONG. Say what you will about the subject matter, but Tom Six is actually a talented filmmaker. Horror films rarely scare me because the directors often don't have a clue how to build a sense of dread - the key to all of our fears if you ask me. Tom Six knows exactly what he's doing. He takes a hopeless premise, thinks of the most hideous way to present it, and really gets under your skin. In this sequel, the first film is treated as just that, a film. The mad scientist has been replaced with a crazy mute loner who yearns to copy the first film, upping the ante at every turn, but without the medical training or equipment of the first. Scalpels have been replaced with staple guns for example. It's not pretty. Filmed in inky black and white, this is a film for those who love the descent into hell a good horror film can provide. Yes, this film has no redeeming social value, but do you really want your horror films to teach you a lesson, or do you just want to be scared and disgusted? There is no right or wrong answer to that question. It's all up to you.

  Don't consider me stupid for having seen this movie because I think anyone who saw the first one was curious on how in the hell they were going to make a sequel. Martin, a man in his 40's who still lives with his mom, obsesses over "The Human Centipede: First Sequence" and repeatedly watches it, getting sexually aroused by the fact that the girls have their mouthes attached to each others anus'. Already, you notice something is wrong with this guy, but when he starts masturbating with sand paper, that's when you realize how messed up this movie is going to be. After having taken down notes about how to do this procedure himself, relying on the movie he starts kidnapping people by knocking them out with crowbars. After having kidnapped 13, one of which is pregnant so he decides not to use her yet, he strips them, takes out their kneecaps and staples their mouths to other people ass. "The Human Centipede: Full Sequence" is placed in the horror genre because their isn't a "fucked up" category. Laurence R. Harvey ( Martin) does a good job making us notice how messed up this guy is, but come on.... This movie is nasty: people farting shit in each others mouths, staples ripping off peoples mouths, this is just a small quantity of the gruesome and disgusting movie Tom SIx has made for us. I watched this movie online free to make sure that Tom Six doesn't take my money because i wasted mine for the first one and he used that money to make a sequel so, don't watch it. This movie just shows how the bar for good movies is dropping, and don't give him the money to make this crap a sequel.

  This film did a great job of creating a true crapsack world. Every character is an asshole, nobody can trust each other, and even the most heartless monster is still a victim. The main character not talking completely worked. The whole film being in black and white also worked, but it also hurt the viewing experience. What makes blood so aesthetically pleasing is the juicy red coloring. Seeing it in black and white just isn't the same. Am I nitpicking here? Maybe. But this film really would have been ten times more enjoyable if all the violence was in full color. I also would have liked more heart-pounding chase moments. Probably one of my favorite scenes in the whole movie was when the pregger woman ran out. Centipede II definitely gave us what the first one was lacking, but I found it lacking a few things the first one had. Both films are alright, with this one being slightly better. I can only wonder what the Final Sequence will be like.

  Twisted and sick. This has satisfied my expectations of a very graphic and brutal film. Yes, the black and white effect is so-so. And some of the scenes are just a level up attempt to make us squirm more violently than the first, but yeah. It's really odd, yet the film does not level-up to the controversy, I think. All in all, the Human Centipede 2 is just a more dark, more violent and more disgusting copy of the first. And before I forget! IT IS 100% medically inaccurate. That is unless, his victims have high tolerance in getting bashed in the head.

  The biggest issue concerning <i>The Human Centipede 2</i> is not the controversy - the gore, sexual violence - but the boredom. For this film is very, very boring. Filmed in "distancing" black & white, this sequel pretends to be a post-modern comment on the first film, as a crazed fan who watches the film on repeat finds victims to make his own, bigger & better centipede. It's a ridiculous notion which films have pulled off far more successfully (<i>Wes Craven's New Nightmare</i>) and less well but still with interest (<i>Book Of Shadows: Blair Witch 2</i>), but it simply does not work here either in a post-irony/meta way, or as a comment on violence through media influence. But this set-up is a fallacy anyway, since it seems merely Tom Six is rubbing his hands with glee and saying "You thought the first was tough? That was nothing". Whereas the first film was, dare I say it, enjoyable since it had a streak of humour, some bad (and good) acting and a barmy but quite exciting plot, as *well* as being disturbing and memorable and being quite restrained at times, this sequel merely constantly repeats itself over and over as victims are smashed about the head and stomach with a crowbar, amid vague references to child abuse and much eye-rolling acting. The fact that the violence is graphic (anuses are cut wide, teeth are knocked out with a hammer, a tongue is - ridiculously - pulled out, a just-born baby is accidentally trod on), and that the sexual violence is luridly dwelled on (our lead actor masturbates with sand paper and rapes the last chain on his centipede with barbed wire wrapped around his cock) barely matters when you have such an enormous lack of care for anything happening. There are no characters, just victims for Martin to cut up and fuck in horrible ways. I'm reminded of my viewing of <i>A Serbian Film</i> which didn't shock me so much as bore me to tears and make me feel slightly queasy, but at least that was vaguely competently filmed (and at least the Director had the gall to suggest it was some sort of social commentary). There is nothing here to recommend, nothing worth watching, nothing to think about afterwards, nothing - unless you want a demonstration of Tom Six's utter immaturity (the one moment of colour in the film, rather tellingly, occurs when the 'centipede' has a shit). Ashlynn Yennie certainly deserves better.
