The Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence [Blu-ray]

Ever hear of "The Aristocrats" joke? They even made a documentary on it. It's about a family auditioning for a stage act, and it's basically an exercise in improvisation on the part of the teller to see just how offensively explicitly obscenely over the top flat out revoltingly gross that audition can be. Many have had a crack at it, some with considerable talent, and the results have been interesting for those who can appreciate that type of thing.The sub-genre of torture porn in horror films seems to be following a trend comparable to "The Arostocrats", and if it continues, it's probably going to burn itself out in unintentional self-parody. Some would argue that this point has already been reached, and they may be right, although it's hard to say. What people find disturbing is highly subjective. If you had asked me two months ago which film I would personally classify as "most disturbing", it would have likely been "A Serbian Film". The title holder prior to that would have been "August Underground Mordum", which held that dubious honor for seven years. Now "Human Centipede 2" comes along and slams "A Serbian Film" into the sewer a mere two months later. Horror certainly has gotten edgier these days. In any case, Tom Six is a director with some talent, and I think this one's going to be talked about for awhile. It certainly helps that the movie's villain is without a doubt the CREEPIEST character I've ever seen.Anyway, if extreme horror is your thing, go for it. To date, I think it's the best of the lot. Or worst, considering how you look at it. 99.9% would say it's fit only for burning, and it would be difficult to argue the point. Why this type of thing appeals to me, I really can't say. But it does, and this one freaked me right the &!@# out.

Freaking unbelievable! We could not be more disappointed with HC2. Number one was absolutely mindblowing in it's originality and shock value. Such a scary and twisted premise. The anticipation for #2 was extreme. I read and reread all these reviews and eagerly spent my money. Sorry to say it was not all I had been led to believe I'd see.I agree with a previous reviewer that Hostel 2 tops the best movie list. I remember the first time I saw Pulp Fiction. Alone! Remember reacting to Alien in the theather? John Carpenter's The Thing? Saw 1? These movies are some of the very few to ever make me really suck wind in OMFG I don't believe it wild eyed awe. We also recommend highly Dee Snider in Strangeland. Surprisingly good movie. A store clerk recommended Wolf Creek and I really like that one. HC1 is in this group but HC2 is not. The 'banned in the UK theme' has boosted interest and sales everywhere else, but it is only a sales hype tsunami that's very obvious and laughable after you've seen the movie. There is absolutely nothing that we can see that rates being 'banned.' Uncountable horror movies with more gore and killing, etc! The pregnant lady who freaks out, gets loose and escapes was a very WTF scene. Didn't care for the B/W. But it does remind me some of Eraserhead, huh? An EASY way to avoid the clarity and reality of #1. The Doctor was 'brilliant' and insane but he had the ability to achieve the joining of them medically. Martin delivering too much blunt force head trauma when it wasn't needed and killing a few of his captives quickly is incapable of scaring you like the look on Girl #2's face when she's sewn in between two dead people, surrounded by other dead people and realizes she's alone, huh?!!So save your money, folks. I would love to have my $6.99 back. Wait till it's released in February. You'll be able to get it on ebay for PENNIES, I'm sure. Oh, yeah, Netflix will have it, too. :)HAPPY NEW YEARWe are going to have 56,000 individual fireworks in the Strip show this year. You should come visit!

I bought this DVD for a very close friend of mine for her birthday - Clearly I'm Friend-of-the-year. We watched the First Sequence together and LOVED it. The First Sequence was slightly disturbing... but it was different and entertaining. It felt a little "edgy" or something. It was cool, plain and simple. So when we found out about The Human Centipede 2, I knew I had to get it for her. We set up a night to watch it just recently, and sat down with our dinner and drinks, just like we did for the first one..... only this time neither of us finished our dinner. Mostly I couldn't look away, but at times I couldn't look directly at the TV either. Some of the sound effects, although borderline childish, still made it difficult to watch. The hammer. The scissors. The staple gun and the crow bar....She gagged.I hid behind pillows.It ended, and I went home feeling dirty.However, I can't say I didn't enjoy it. As other reviewers have stated, this movie pretty-much "goes there." It shows you everything that was left to your imagination in the 1st movie. You ask a question, it answers."But a staple gun? That won't make such a great seal?":cue explosive diarreah:"But why wouldn't someone just try and rip their mouth off?":cue face/anal ripping:What else is there to say, other than I can't wait to see the next one!!!
