Unless you've been living under a rock for the last couple of years, you've heard SOMETHING about The Human Centipede. The Human Centipede was a "shocking" look at what happens when a doctor obsessed with the idea of centipede people decides to connect three unsuspecting people through their gastric tracts. You know...ass to mouth. Promising to be one of the grossest and shocking films of the decade, we were given a film with minor gross outs, a strong leading character, and nothing more than a couple of decent scenes. Sorry, but I was a little disappointed by the first film. I was promised horror so gross I would vomit, and I didn't. I didn't even cringe. The most graphic scenes of the entire movie were leaked months in advance and it left absolutely nothing else redeeming for the film. Hell, I've seen more graphic episodes of Law & Order: SVU. I mean, if Matt Stone and Trey Parker can parody your film and make it more entertaining...there's a problem. I digress...
Tom Six, apparently a little butt hurt from critics like myself, decided to step up his game and make a sequel. Instead of having three people connected...he's connecting twelve. While this sounds "oh-so disgusting", I think this idea is going to have the same effect as watching a twelve person porno. It's a really good idea on paper, but when you try to execute it, it's nothing more than a bunch of squirming bodies and obnoxious screaming. Nothing satisfying will come out of this. At all. Instead of continuing with the storyline from the original (whatever story surgically attaching people ass to mouth possesses) we are given a brand new villain. Resembling something like "gluttony" from Se7en, Martin is a young man utterly obsessed with the film of The Human Centipede. A self-aware sequel? Oh joy. He's so obsessed, he's decided to make a centipede of his own. Hm. Well. That's one way to continue the concept.
All I'm saying is that I think this is going to be pretty pointless. Maybe they'll change my mind and I'll puke or something. I'm just not going to hold my breath. Watch the trailer for yourself, make your own opinion.
