15 Recent Horrors You Should Avoid This Halloween
4. The Human Centipede III: Final Sequence
The Human Centipede series finally hit its nadir with the third and final sequence, set in a prison, and re-teaming director Tom Six with stars Dieter Laser and Laurence R. Harvey. Where the first film is an enjoyably daft, gruesome mad scientist movie, and the second a relatively artful (if particularly blunt) shocker, the third is entirely without merit.
Not as funny as the first film or as nasty as the second, it consists of little more than characters shouting over each other and a surprisingly annoying performance from Dieter Laser as the prison governor.
Sure, there's a human centipede, and there's all the gore and poo-sucking you've come to hope for by now from a Human Centipede film, but this far in, Tom Six and his limited trix seem to have lost their ability to shock. Not even Eric Roberts (in a glorified cameo) can save this one. Stick with the first two instead.
And if you really need a t(h)ird? South Park's Human CentiPad should do the trick.
