10 Signs That You Are A Hardcore Fan Of Extreme Cinema

2. You Find Human Centipede 2 Hilarious

humancentipede2 The censors wanted to ban it. The region 2 version is hacked to bits. The antics of Martin Lomax during Human Centipede 2 are sick and demented - and utterly hilarious - that is if you are a sick movie fan. Of course, non-sickos will be revolted by the carryings on in the movie but for sickos, there is much glee to be had. The concept of a bunch of people being sewn ass to mouth to make a human centipede is a highly nauseating concept, but there is scope for dark humour - after all, the idea is so out there and depraved. Martin Lomax provides much of the merriment in Human Centipede 2. Short, obese, asthmatic and perpetually sweating, he never utters a word during the film but his gleeful facial expressions as he creates his revolting centipede say more than a hundred words and actively invite the viewer to laugh along. Okay, some of the stuff that goes on - including a baby being squashed, is a little too sick to laugh about, but the film's greatest laughter moment is when Lomax injects laxatives into each of the humans in the chain and it is a full on diarrhoea swallowing fest. This scene is so preposterous and egregious, if you are a true movie sicko, you will laugh your head off at the sheer hideousness of it all. It is the only possible response. Non hardcore sick movie fans will puke their guts up but us movie sickos will chuckle in delight as we wallow in glorious crapulence.
