The Human Centipede II (2011)

I'm going to be a hundred percent honest here and say that I wanted nothing to do with this movie but felt like I had to review it to properly follow up with the original.

I feel like the only reason this sequel was even thought up was to cash in on the popularity that the original had gained over the prior years. So in other words, it's a freaking money grab.

We start by following an over weight, under confident and possibly mentally challenged man named Martin, he is a security guard who is obssessed with the movie "The Human Centipede".

He is so enthralled with the idea of having his own home made pet centipede that Martin decides to take the movie's horrific idea and turns it into his own reality.

Like most other sequel concepts, bigger is always better and  that's exactly what they did with this one, attempting to create a twelve man human centipede.

The use of black and white mixed with the obsessant nagging of Martin's mother was very reminissant to me of the original Pshyco film.

I found alot of the the killing scenes very bland and boring. It looked like the same kill was done over and over again to different victims.

Another part that does not bode well with me is that there was no authority figures that ever appeared nor did anybody even attempt to question Martin about any of the missing people or the continuously crying infant that he left in the car.

Althought I did not want to see this film, I did enjoy the first half of it for some reason. It's possible the fact that the main character did not say a word the entire time and the resemblance to pshyco that drew me in. But that feeling was lost thanks to the last thirty minutes of the movie.

I will have to give the human centipede II a 4 out of 10 as I did for it's predessesor.

The Human Centipede (2009)

Dr. Heiter is a world renowned surgeon who's specialty is the ability to successfully separate conjoined twins.

The good doctor, now in retirement, has formed a plan to create a new breed of pet to replace his "Three-Dog" Rottweilers. He has the surgical abilities he needs in order to create it and now he must recruit three very unwilling victims to commence with his plan.

Written, produced and directed by Tom Six and starring Ashley C. Williams, Ashlynn Yennie, Akihiro Kitamura and Dieter Laser as Dr. Josef Heiter.

I had a lot of issues before viewing this film and it was not due to the nature of it's content either. It was related to the fact that I already knew, years prior, what was happening in this movie thanks to a friend of my explaining it to me.
This probably ruined this film for me as there was not shock value left in it for me and killed any chance of me giving this one a big rating as opposed to what I will be doing today.

With that being said, another one of the factors that turned me off from it was the amount of time most of the scene's seemed to drag on for. A good portion of them could have been easily cut down had they put extra scenes it it's place.

The one plus for me though was easily Dieter Laser's performance throughout the entire movie. He was able to take creepy to the next level with his look alone. The way he spoke his dialogue was also creepy as all hell which definitely added onto the aura.

But, like I mentioned earlier, the unfortunate fate of my already knowing the big twist in this film killed it for me and has sadly lowered the rating. I am giving this one a 4 out of 10.
