Human Centipede 2

I saw 'Human Centipede' and thought it was a bad movie, bad in the sense of a 1 star flick at best. Movies are scary when you become completely absorbed into the ambiance of the film and you forget you are watching a film. Your imagination and the imagination on the screen merge and then we have success. Its real scary then. I also have to admit that for reasons that I cannot explain, most horror films do not scare me. What scares me are documentaries about real, actual horrible things that brutal people do to real innocent people.

Having said that, I am now intrigued to see 'Human Centipede 2' simply because the film is being rejected as being potentially dangerous to audiences. I say bring it on. I can sit through and use it as a sedative.

Seriously though, if you want to make people become interested in a film, ban it. The stupidest approach to censorship is banning something. Banning something in 2011 makes people want to see something even more, even if in the past they had no interest in said thing.

Censorship is a thing of the past. Parents can make decisions about what their kids see, and they should do that. End of story.

Guardian UK: The Human Centipede sequel just too horrible to show, says BBFC

In the sequel, a man becomes erotically obsessed with a DVD copy of the original film – in which the victims are surgically stitched together mouth to anus – and decides to recreate the idea.


The film then focuses on his fantasies and the torture he inflicts. One scene involves him wrapping barbed wire around his penis and raping the woman at the end of the centipede, having become aroused by the sight of his victims being forced to defecate into each others' mouths.


The BBFC described the central plot of the film as the "sexual arousal of the central character at both the idea and the spectacle of the total degradation, humiliation, mutilation, torture and murder of his naked victims".
