The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence)

Plot synopsis:
The film opens with the final credits of The Human Centipede (First Sequence), including the closing credits. The camera pulls back, to reveal that this is playing on a portable DVD player, and a man in a toll booth in a parking garage is watching the film. Martin Lomax (Laurence R. Harvey) is an asthmatic, overweight, mentally ill, middle-aged, short British man. He lives in a small flat with his emotionally abusive mother (Vivien Bridson) while working as a security guard in an underground parking garage. His neighbors play punk music at high levels all night and day, and Martin often spies on the rich individuals who use the parking garage. Dr. Sebring (Bill Hutchens) suspects that Martin was sexually abused repeatedly by his father, now in prison (a suspicion confirmed when Martin has a flashback to this abuse, in which the audience hears the father raping his son).In a metanarrative device, Martin is obsessed with the movie The Human Centipede (First Sequence), watching it repeatedly at home and in his toll booth. At one point, he is depicted masturbating to the film with sandpaper wrapped around his penis. He keeps a centipede as a pet, and maintains a scrapbook on the film. When his mother finds and destroys the scrapbook, Martin kills her by bashing her head in and then props her dead body up at the kitchen table. Martin wordlessly decides to recreate the fictional experiment he saw portrayed in The Human Centipede (First Sequence). Medically untrained, he assembles a potpourri of kitchen gadgets, woodworking tools, and assorted household items, puts them in a suitcase, and secures a dingy, dirty, dark abandoned warehouse to recreate the film's medical experiment. But Martin intends to create not just a three-person centipede, but the "full sequence" of 12 connected people.He telephones the three actors from the first film, pretending to be Quentin Tarantino's casting agent, and tries to lure them to London. Only one, Ashlynn Yennie (portraying herself), does so. Most of the first hour of the film shows how Martin attacks, beats, and kidnaps his victims. Among his victims are a neighbor, a rental agent, and a man and his very pregnant wife. Once Martin has his victims, he severs the tendons in each person's legs (graphically and on screen) to prevent them from fleeing. He uses a hammer to knock out their teeth one by one, putting his fingers in their blood-filled mouths to fish out their teeth so they will not swallow and choke on them in a suicide attempt. He slices open the buttocks of 11 of the victims (graphically depicted on screen), and then, lacking any surgical equipment, uses a staple gun to attach each person's face to the next person's anus. Martin chooses Yennie to be the front of the "human centipede," so she does not have to eat anyone else's feces. Finally, Martin has his full sequence of a 12-person "human centipede". When one of his victims dies from their wounds, Martin sobs softly.Martin (who is clad only in his underwear throughout much of the latter portion of the film) becomes more and more sexually aroused by the desperation and travails of his "human centipede." He administers an excessive amount of laxative to his creation, forcing each individual in the chain to explosively evacuate their bowels into the mouth of the person behind them. When one of his victims chokes to death on their own vomit, Martin again breaks down in tears.Unbeknownst to Martin, the pregnant woman whom he believed had died regains consciousness under a tarp next to another dead body. She bursts out of the tarp and runs outside, screaming, and leaps into her car and drives off. Martin chases after her and throws himself against the car's windows, unable to get in. At the same time, the pregnant woman driving goes into labor and births a child into the foot well. Immediately after, the engine turns over and she stomps on the accelerator, smashing her newborn's skull in the process. Martin is shown crying in rage.Meanwhile, the "centipede" splits in half as one of the victim rips his face from the person in front. Martin then returns to the warehouse and shoots all the remaining eight members of the centipede in rage until his gun runs out of ammo. He decides to put his victims out of their misery by slicing their necks with a kitchen knife. Miss Yennie is the only member that remains alive. When Martin approaches her to slice her neck, she punches him in the groin then, in a fit of adrenalin-induced rage, she grabs the funnel Martin used to force feed her earlier, shoves it up Martin's rectum, grabs the centipede from his glass cage and sticks it inside. Yennie is then stabbed in the face by Martin and presumably dies. Martin is then shown screaming as he tries to remove the centipede. As he staggers out the door, the camera focuses on the dead centipede and Ashlynn Yennie is shown turning over of her own accord, possibly hinting that she survived.The final shot shows Martin, alive and well, watching the DVD of the original film at work, while a baby is heard crying in the background. (It may be that Human Centipede (Full Sequence) was merely a dream, or it may be that Martin has returned to his job and is now planning further crimes.)

Review:
My friend came home once and said he had just watched a movie called 'The Human Centipede.' He then asked me to imagine what comes to mind when I think of those words.
I had no such problem with The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) as not only does it retain (and amplify) the revoltingness of the original, but strips away any twisted charm, tension, good performances and frequent tongue-in-cheek execution that made "First Sequence" better than it had any right to be.Many haphazardly brand films they dislike as "worthless," but some movies are genuinely without any merit.
I felt my time was being wasted, not that I was being shocked to new extremes.The only people I could recommend this movie to would be those like myself who enjoyed the first and are curious about the follow-up, but I would have to tack on the disclaimer that they will be disappointed and viewing could even diminish the bizarre appeal of the first.
Martin is looking at these cards he's been dealt, which ain't great, and decides it's time for the proverbial to hit the fan, which is to say he'd like to try and re-enact his favourite DVD, The Human Centipede.The British censors (and no doubt those of other countries will follow suit), have spared us a scene of a mother brutally killing her own newborn by mistake, of a coil of barbed wire being used as a marital aid, and like their forebears, the censors of Witchfinder General, had to ponder on just how many bludgeons with an axe, or in this case teeth removed by hammer blow, are acceptable, and decided on a lower number than the director.The film is not quite squared away in terms of plot plausibility, but does what it can.I actually found the movie implausibly human, what Martin ends up doing seems, on the face of it, entirely logical (which is not to say that everyone who is abused becomes an abuser).
The film seems to have a message that people are marginalised and forgotten about at our peril, that society is judged by the people who behave the worst.Two of Six's gambles that pay off extremely well are shooting the movie in black and white, and having Martin remain dialogue-less throughout.
"The Human Centipede II" by Tom Six delivers repulsive imagery in spades.The main character in this modern sickie is Martin,fat and sweating slob who works as a night-shift car park attendant.He is obsessed with the first "Human Centipede" and ghastly works of Dr.Heitner.His dream is about creating his own twelve-strong human centipede.Victims are strikingly easy to find and capture..."The Human Centipede II" is more unsettling and gory than its infamous predecessor.The scenes of mutilation,urination,serial defecation,ligament-cutting,tooth-pulling,vomiting and rape manage to offend.The main performance of Lawrence R Harvey is gloriously weird.So if you are into graphic torture porn and extreme body horror "The Human Centipede II" is a must-see.8 defecations out of 10..
I can understand why this film only has a score of 4/10 on this because of the non existent script etc but do not be put off by the low score, if your a fan of horror or enjoyed the first Human Centipede then your bound to like this.7/10..
The first film already caused quite a bit of commotion and controversy because of its plot and a handful of shocking sequences, but I swear the original looks like a politically correct Disney family flick compared to the totally messed up sequel!
However, the protagonist of part two – the obese and mentally handicapped midget named Martin – is addicted to watching this crazy movie and becomes obsessed with the idea of creating his very own (and bigger) human centipede.
In just two movies, Six has managed to encompass two grand extremes of the horror genre.In The Human Centipede (First Sequence), Six gave us a disturbing yet comedic film, very cleanly shot with a campy, madman of a villain.
The film progressed in a very Hollywood style, with an easy-to-follow story arc, plot turns along the way, and just enough implied to disturb the audience.Now, with The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence), Six throws the audience to the far end of the spectrum.
You only watch this movie if you like disgusting or gory films or to be shocked.
This could, most likely, be why this movie made the list....it was just too sick, too gratuitous and was attempting to make torture entertaining.In this follow-up to a film I never saw, some dumpy loser named Martin has taken to copying the crap perpetrated in the first movie.
With the mentally challenged obese guy, Martin, this film reveals the new dimension of Human Centipede Movie.
Martin (Harvey) lives with his mother in a grim housing estate where he becomes infatuated with the first Human Centipede film.
Martin soon decides to make his dream of creating a twelve person centipede a reality.Tom Six wrote and directed this sequel to his surprise shock cinema hit of 2009, The Human Centipede.
The Human Centipede II joins this sub genre, alongside films such as A Serbian film and Antichrist, pushing the moral and ethical boundaries of modern cinema.Harvey does an outstanding job in his debut acting role as the pitiful and twisted Martin, executing an unsettling and terrifying performance, despite not having any dialogue throughout the film.
In the New York Times interview "A More Perfect Union", writer and director Tom Six himself indicated this film has humour, like maybe when there's thunder and lightning when Martin, the main character, gives an angry facial expression to someone.
Maybe it'd be interesting if his past was explored and if he used to normally talk, what his dialogue was like, but as the film is, I'm okay with him *as a character*.I didn't like or dislike "The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence)".
Martin, a fan of the film THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE, finally reaches his breaking point and begins to pick victims so that he can create his own 12-person centipede.
The first portion of the film is going to remind people of ERASERHEAD as we spend most of the time getting to know this Martin character.
I have no intentions of posting here any content of the film at all, but, it was well slow starting at first...getting a feel for the characters and the completely different style plot took some time, but yes in the end well half way to the end there was a pay off effects and visual wise....When I saw The Human Centipede (First Sequence) I really enjoyed the movie itself, but watching it after seeing all the reviews on how "wrong" it was and there being next to no blood, and it basically being one hell of a psychological horror, I was happy with the movie, but disappointed because of the hype....with this installment, The Visuals and pure "wrong" that goes on ON SCREEN were exactly what I was hoping for, but the story line lagged if it was even there in the first place.....I think Mr. Six should REALLY take his time with his next installment....as he NAILED IT with storyline and production on the first one, and nailed it with the visuals on the second....Take a good amount of time man, and combine the two for the DEFINITIVE "Final Sequence"....This movie really has a potential to it if the proper ratios of one and two are used right!.
I would not be surprised if a man is truly a psychopath, just look at his face and you will agree with me, and the fact that this is his first film role in life can only confirm this.Indeed, one at a time creates a feeling of pity in the viewer, and you simply want to succeed in his attempt.
There is no logical explanation about why the deranged, unhinged Martin want to implement the same sick idea of creating a human centipede given in the first movie he had his aspirations from.
When I watched the first movie I did not really feel that disgusted but the second one tore my appetite for scary movies upside down cause of the disgust and implacability, nastiness and remorselessness of the main character who wants to appease his sick cravings by torturing people.
I was too busy cringing and reaching for the sick bag.The fact that Six believes filming this salad tossing 'Anal Fantasia' in black and white (and brown, apparently) gives it some sort of art school legitimacy or the feel of a bona fide horror movie is wrong.
I don't write many reviews but I feel compelled to have this on the record, for whatever that's worth, in the hopes of having other people keep a possibly useful 90 minutes of their life intact.This was the worst thing I have ever seen committed to film or kilobyte.
Throw in the fact that he randomly likes to soil himself and is sexually obsessed with the original "Human Centipede" film and you have an original concept for a sequel that I do not believe has ever been done before.
There's really no way to describe writer/director Tom Six's "The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence)" on IMDb. It's so grotesque, violent, over-sexualized and exploitive that it's near impossible to describe it in general, let alone here, where reviews should be "PG" rated.
So I will try my best."Human Centipede II" is a strange hybrid of meta-fiction and satire of itself and of the first film (and is, to its credit, quite funny in a very "gallows" humor kind of way), while also being an extraordinarily grotesque and depraved "body horror film" at the same time.
It's one of those movies that is borderline parody of its own concept (again, in a meta-fiction way), in the same vain as "Gremlins 2" or "The Princess Bride."Essentially the plot is as follows- "Martin", a mentally handicapped man whom has suffered from rampant abused his whole life, becomes fascinated by the original "Human Centipede" film (which is a movie-within-a-movie in this sequel), and begins to kidnap various people in order to re- create the grotesque experiment from the original film.I will not spoil anything else, but the film in its second half, is essentially a much more grotesque remake of the first film, albeit with different characters and different motivations.I really must give credit where it is due.
The story revolves around a mental Security Guard, named Martin, who lives with his suicidal mother, and is secretly obsessed with The Human Centipede film, it's his sexual fantasy to create his own, but not with three, but 12 people.
The Human Centipede (First Sequence) would've been a lot better if it was a little cult thing, rather than a big mainstream film.
The cinematography in this film was truly a great aspect to such an already atrocious concept.The story follows Martin (Harvey), an overweight, asthmatic, clammy-skinned, mentally ill parking garage attendant who becomes obsessed with the original Human Centipede film.
It's sleepily, if at all, written and combines artless shock in hopes of making a good film.What kind of shock do we get, lovely injections of centipedes where the sun don't shine, extremely bloody torture scenes that could put Saw to shame, a very ghastly scene involving the emptying of bodily waste, and a sick masturbation scene.
Yes, Harvey, the cinematography, and the black and white tonality complement the film in a very minor way, but still, it's hard to appreciate a film that is mean-spirited for the point of being mean-spirited.Tom Six says that his next installment will be the final entry in the saga of The Human Centipede.
This is one of those movies where you wait in anticipation for months and months and are filled with joy when you are finally able to watch it (yes, I love my horror films lol).To start off my review I wanted to point out that this movie to me was very tame compared to many, many others I have seen.
Harvey) dreams of creating a 12-person centipede and sets out to realize his sick fantasy.I loved this movie, and I think it is probably receiving lower ratings than it should because it will not appeal to wide audiences.
Anyone who finds either of the human centipede movies entertaining probably has something not quite right about them, but I don't think that 'entertainment' is Six's intention; he's rather attempting to explore the depths and potential of human depravity in the most realistic and stripped down way possible.The acting in No.1 isn't exceptional so it misses the mark a little, but No.2 is right on target in this regard, it's like being present at a crime scene; having a camera's eye view of the daily life of a genuine product of extreme abuse, a twisted deviant homicidal psychopath, and yet Six still manages to elicit a little sympathy (through gritted teeth) for the main character, and humour (of the darkest kind) from his largely unwilling but powerfully compelled audience.The movie is irredeemable in many ways because of what it is so it's never going to get a particularly positive reception or review from any relatively sane and balanced person, but you do have to take your hat off the Tom Six for the masterful execution of his craft, dark and twisted though it's context is.Keep an eye out for Tom Six as a possible next big thing.
The Human Centipede 2 starts off showing that the first part was a film and focuses on the creepiest man in London, aka Martin, obsessing about it and wanting to re-enact it.The film's first half is like a London-based version of David Lynch's Eraserhead - full of weird (and horrible) characters all shot in black and white (I don't know why the film is shot in black and white, but it is).
The second half gives you what you came for - assuming you came for the gore and general distaste.Now, I'm well aware that horror is meant to scare/disgust/disturb etc, so I don't normally mention the acting ability, but, during those rare moments of dialogue (and there aren't many - it could practically be a silent film) the actors really are pretty bad.
The Human Centipede had me disturbed and grossed out for a good sum of the movie because it was at least slightly believable that something like that would happen..
It's surreal that a situation like this would go so smoothly without a hitch and makes people seem as stupid as those corny horror movies with the actors who honestly think it's a good idea to wander around on the patio when a killer rings on your doorbell.Simply put, if you have a weak stomach..go for it, you MIGHT enjoy it (in a sick sense)..
Regardless of what I write, however, I still feel hollow inside, knowing that this film was created with great deliberation and forethought by thinking, breathing human beings--people who chose to participate in its creation just as I chose to watch it..
The only thing that's making me give this movie 2 out of 10 instead of 1 is the acting, which is honestly not too bad.For those that are gonna say it's an exploitation film, so it's supposed to be like that, all I have to say is watch the first one.
The movie is filmed in black and white, probably to dodge an NC17 rating, but it got hammered with it anyway, so what do you think of THAT, Tom Six?
Harvey was (in my opinion) phenomenal, i'm in no way saying that the role was acted better than all other roles played by other actors, i'm saying that he played this role perfectly, to the point where while i was watching the movie, i felt bad for his character (even with all the horrible things he did).
Martin, a sexually abused, repressed and perverted grotesque, works at a parking lot, where he touches himself to the original "Human Centipede" film.
Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence takes liberties with the storyline of the original, it openly admit that the first film is, well, a movie.
the black and white makes sense and ads to the intensity and makes martin all the more menacing and the bad acting isn't important anymore ,as there is only screams and groans from here out,what you are treated to from here out is balls to the wall filth until the credits roll , for some this may well be the movie you have been waiting for it is depraved,sick,twisted,gross,stomach churning and at times relentless in the sense that it just gets sicker and sicker.its hard to score this any better than a 5 because in all honesty i didn't enjoy watching it,but i couldn't turn it of .it just kept me glued its a no win situation ,for me a film like this will never be great because of how gruesome it is (i did expect that when watching it) , but it will never be rubbish because it pushes the en envelope and keeps me morbidly entertained without wanting to ruin it for anyone ill end by saying that in terms of vulgarity new cinematic lows are reached in the uncut version of this film.the gore on screen is horrendous and the actions of martin (the centipede aside ) are also quite horrific.all things aside don't eat before you watch this film ,be prepared to see something that will shock you.and try to remember its just a film..
Martin, like any dedicated fanboy, watches his favorite movie, The Human Centipede nonstop.
The movie watched like a bunch of scenes stuck together, had absolutely no character development, and I really could not take it seriously as horror or gore.
The first movie of these "The Human Centipede" films was adequate, not great, but it was watchable.
Anyway, going back to the point, The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) is a tedious sequel which made me feel like wasting my time, so it's needless to say that I don't recommend it.
