    So I saw the first film after all the hype and talk about it being really nasty and shocking, and like many films throughout the years I was scoffing at how rubbish those claims were. Original in terms of the idea yes but hardly shocking, more bizarre, and you didn't even see muc... read moreh.

    Now we have the same issues all over again with the sequel, only this time its all completely bloody true I tell ya!!! Let me start by saying I have never felt quite so uncomfortable whilst watching a film since I saw the original 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre'.

    Right...so after I scrubbed my eyes and took some deep breaths I was able to clear my mind (kinda) and write about this errr film. I use the term 'film' loosely as this really does come across as director Six's own personal horror fetish fantasy. To be honest it is actually quite a unique piece of work and one could almost say its very arty or indie of sorts, apart from the gut wrenching gore of course.

    The film is in black n white which does give it a stylish approach, it also makes it more unnerving and leaning towards more realism. Add to that is the clever idea of virtually no dialog but mainly sound effects, the lead character does not speak one word, he merely grunts, squeals, cries and moans in very disturbing ways. There is of course some dialog from various characters but its very short and to the point, no messing around here no sir.

    The other thing about this film is the fact its not connected to the original in any way AND it shows the events of the first film as just that...a film. The main character in this sequel watches the first film on his laptop as an inspiration for him to carry out his own agenda, so the first film never happened in this franchises universe. Ashlynn Yennie who played one of the victims in the first film returns in this sequel as herself, so this sequel is basically in the 'real world' where as the first film is a film and fantasy/fiction.
    At first I didn't like this idea as it reminded me of 'Wes Craven's New Nightmare' where Englund plays himself but after getting into the plot I think its a pretty ingenious way to go for the follow up, complete U-turn and makes it more interesting for sure.

    Another plus point I must say is the casting of unknown Laurence R. Harvey as 'Martin Lomax'. Now this guy looks incredibly scary, spooky and quietly mental, he's short, disgustingly fat (his belly is a sight to behold), odd frog-like eyes and a receding hairline that's been made to look all greasy and demented. The way this guy just stares without blinking, his facial expressions when he gets upset, angry or excited just unnerve you BIG time!. Six did well in finding the crazy German Dieter Laser who looks like an evil Nazi scientist character type straight out of the videogame 'Wolfenstein', but he has outdone himself finding Harvey, how or where beats me but this guy is fudging creepy!, a big fat child like psycho who enjoys pain in rather eye opening ways.

    Of course the plot is totally dumb with some plot holes you could drive a Land Rover through. The fact that people are getting shot and bludgeoned all over the show and no one hears or see's anything ever and how on earth this nut job manages to do all this on his own isn't worth going into really. The film cuts to and fro allot leaving it up to you to imagine how he did this and that or moved someone etc...

    Its all about gore and shock value here folks, you do see nudity both male and female, you do see the lead character play with himself (you will see his little fireman), there is plenty of blood and head bashing, teeth smashing with hammers, tendon cutting of the knees, throat cutting, bullets to heads, force feeding, injections of laxatives, people eating excrement and seeing it dripping from mouths as they do, stapling faces to asses, hints of child abuse, crooked abusive doctors, harsh British language, mother killing....need I continue?

    This film is actually so graphic the BBFC would not allow it unless it was heavily cut, I saw the uncut version and I can understand why, seeing the death of a new born baby by having its head crushed!? yep its pretty hardcore here folks.

    Very dark, very bleak, seedy, murky and very sadistic, on one hand its very original and highly imaginative as a horror/gore flick, but it hasn't got the psychological or realistic vibe that the original 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' had. Its still very close to the bone and works well to make you uneasy, the sound effects alone will make you shy away in places believe me. Very nasty as Six delivers with his promise of more gore but you have to give kudos for the way he approaches it.

    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.... read more 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.

    How hard can it be to escape the clutches of an obese asthmatic dwarf?? There's humor here, buried deep beneath layers and layers of sick, disgusting, over-the-top special effects. I laughed, I hurled, I wondered how much you'd have to pay actors to crawl around with their face... read more in someone else's ass.

    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'... read mores 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 p... read morerior 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.

    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 Hu... read moreman 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... read more 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. Everythi... read moreng 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... read more. 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.
