The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) Reviews
May 21, 2013
The second installment of Tom Six's trilogy lacked everything the original provided and more. Filmed in black and white, theoretically to induce more violent mental images than were actually being portrayed, was the first step towards the disaster that was this film. Laurence Harvey did do an incredible job of acting without speaking a single word the entire film; however, this definitely does not lead to a good film. Bottom line, stick to the first one and leave it at that.

Yes, it gets better. Martin is a parking garage attendant, at a garage that seems to offer very opportune situations for abducting people. Oh, and he's a copy-cat murderer. And yes, you guessed it; he is using the original Human Centipede film as a reference for attaching not 4, but 12 people together ASS TO MOUTH. A human centipede. Or maybe it's just people attached ass to mouth?
Either way, that's as deep as the plot goes. There are no deep profound meanings, no plot twist, no climatic endings. Six seems to be aiming to please fans of gore, with anal incisions, severed nerves, mouths stapled to asses, and consequently- mouths filled with shit.
In all, the film has been shot in a high contrast stylistic black and white; which was most likely done to take the edge off of the excessive gore. Either way, he has in some ways achieved a very masterful piece of art with the shooting technique. The aforementioned, accompanied by Laurence R. Harvey's creepy and convincing delivery of Martin; makes this film is without doubt one that will stick with you for better or for worse.
There is a very strong contrast to Tom Six's first installment of this film. In fact, the approach is rather interesting. In the Human Centipede II, we find that the happenings in the first movie where just that , a movie. Which means, it never happened. Oh but wait, we then meet Martin; a short, pin-head, pop-eyed, down right creepy type of guy. Oh, and did I mention he was mentally challenged? Don't ask me how I know; just say the title of the film.

I love horror movies but this is just sick and disgusting. The only reason I watched all of it was to see if the crazy bastard would get caught by the police. The ending was stupid, ugh what a waste of time.

This film is so vile in its intentions, so disgraceful in its content, and so foul in its art. It's a dehumanizing atrocity in itself.

This sequel makes the first film Academy Award worthy.

Parece que el productor de esta pelicula quizo encontrar una forma de concentrar todo aquello que se encuentra asqueroso para cualquier persona, lo ha logrado.

While actually quite artistic, Human Centipede 2 ends up becoming way too over the top and actually quite annoying as we close the film.

Wow,...and you thought the 1st one was bad?! You've seen NOTHING yet?! I'm pretty sure this Tom Six guy just wants everyone to know it's "100% medically accurate"?! Whether is actually is or not?! It DEFINITELY 100% SUCKED!

Much better than the 1st. It's 10-20 times gross than the 1st one. The main character is so sick, the film is quite cult. It will definitely become a classic since 'Salo (1975)'. This time, Yennie from 1st episode is back, in completing the 10-person-centipede, for 'real'. 8-)

I personally can't stand the first Human Centipede movie, but I watched this one and I ended up really liking it. I liked the plot and I think the black and white fit the atmosphere of the film.

"Human Centipede II" opens with a strong narrative that leaves you wanting more, but it never fully delivers on the grand storytelling scale. Where it does deliver is the shock value. The use of the black and white effect is grotesque at times and completely takes you by surprise with the inventive use of color. It is a lot more captivating than the first one, but it still doesn't live up to it's full potential.

Tom Six intenta hacer una secuela mucho mas horripilante e infernal que la primera parte de su "The Human Centipede"... y lo logra. Las referencias a "Psycho", "Salo: o los 120 dias de Sodoma" y a "Eraserhead" estan mas que presentes, asi como el gore mas espantoso que se puedan imaginar, sin importar que la cinta sea a blanco y negro. El "actor" Laurence R. Harvey es el asco hecho persona interpretando a Martin, una especie de Igor "Fanboy" que quiere hacer un cienpies humano de 12 personas inspirado en la primera pelicula. "The Human Centipede II" es un completo descenso al averno. Quedan advertidos.

VERDICT: "Rent Worthy" - [Mixed to Negative Reaction] These films are only worth renting because of certain good things that are worth seeing, but are not worth paying at a theatre or the DVD to see due to bad things that overcome anything good. (Films that are rated 2.5 stars)
The Human Centipede gets longer (how long before it becomes The Human Millipede?) but the shocks will be familiar to anyone who enjoyed the first film. I'll say this for Human Centipede 2: Tom Six has done the impossible. He's created a sequel that's several orders of magnitude more vile, more nihilistic, and more repellant than the original. And he didn't even need to change the premise. You want to tell Six that yes, we get it already. But then subtlety isn't exactly his thing. Six has in essence backed himself into a rhetorical corner, leaving as perhaps the only option for his next stunt something in which the filmmaker Tom Six winds up with his mouth surgically attached to his own anus. I'm striving to maintain a neutral tone here because I think that's the best way to deflate this silly, clever, disgusting and ultimately meaningless project to a reasonable scale.
