10 Body Horror Movies That Went Too Far

1. The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence)

You could easily include any and all of Tom Six's The Human Centipede pictures here, for each of three are completely and utterly f*cked up.

Getting the nod this time, it's The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence).

Adding a meta edge to the burgeoning franchise, this second picture takes place in a world where 2009's The Human Centipede is very much a real movie; a movie that Laurence R. Harvey's Martin Lomax has become obsessed with.

Intent on making his own centipede, Martin constructs an initial 12-person ass-to-mouth-to-ass creature that is stuck together by duck tape and a staple gun. Oh, and Martin at one point injects each of his victims with a laxative so that they brutally sh*t in the person behind's mouth.

The centipede itself is obviously a grim, disturbing element of The Human Centipede 2, but that pales in comparison to some of the other acts Martin carries out - in particular a scene where he masturbates using sandpaper, and another moment where he attaches barbed wire to his d*ck and rapes one of his victims.

By its very definition, a body horror movie is always likely to feature some wince-inducing moments, but The Human Centipede 2 goes way too far multiple times.
