20 Depraved Movies Only Truly Sick Individuals Could Enjoy
4. The Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence (2011)
When Dutch filmmaker Tom Six first unleashed 2010's The Human Centipede (First Sequence) to the masses, there was a lot of nervous giggling: a horror movie where the bad guy stitches a trio of unwitting individuals together, ass-to-mouth? And it’s supposedly “100% Medically Accurate”? This sounded like exploitative garbage at best, a complete waste of time at worst. But then a funny thing happened: Human Centipede turned out to be pretty damn good. Great, even.
The sequel takes the bad taste concept of its predecessor and expands it in an extraordinarily grotesque manner. The film opens as the footage from the end of First Sequence transitions into “real life” where Martin (Laurence R. Harvey) is watching the film intently. Martin is a bespectacled, obese weirdo who is determined to have his very own centipede one day. He is ambitious in his scope and knocks out twelve people – stapling their mouths to each other’s backsides; creating a truly hellish creature.
Explosive excretion, laxatives, urination, a new-born baby getting its cranium crushed, ligament-cutting, tooth-pulling, vomiting, anus-slicing, allusions to every bodily fluid you can imagine, and a rape scene pitiful in its pining are all presented without restraint.
