'Human Centipede 2' Trailer: Disgusting And Meta (VIDEO)

If there was one thing the world was clamoring for, it was a lesson in psychology and film studies to go alongside its ass-to-mouth torture porn.

Director Tom Six returns with the sequel to his somehow irresistibly vile puke-inducer, "The Human Centipede," adding a self-awareness to the film that shows Six knows just how insanely disgusting he had made the original.

In this sequel -- which had advancing screening attendees literally vomiting in the aisles -- a bug-eyed sociopath becomes obsessed with the first film and seeks to create his own human centipede, which is 12 humans conjoined, rear ends to mouth, sewn together to make one scatological nightmare.

Knives, hammers, screams, bearded psychologists, worried mothers and barren warehouses mark the two minute trailer for "The Human Centipede 2 [Full Sequence]," which can be enjoyed by the whole family on October 7th. Except in England, where it is banned. Here's Scott Weinberg, columnist from The Guardian, to explain why:

As a relative fan of the first film, I sat down with Part II expecting ... something crazy, gross, and potentially enjoyable. What I got was an hour of sweaty boredom and then 30 minutes of grungy, filthy, visceral misery. A plotless, ugly, grating mess that exists for pure shock value and nothing else. It's a dreary slog through one man's frankly obnoxious obsession with our basest and messiest bodily functions. And while it sucks to give Tom Six the press he clearly desires, this is easily one of the most disgusting films ever made.

A great date movie, for you lovers out there.

THC was saved by unintentional humour, Dieter Lasser's creepy mad doctor, brilliant performance by Akihiro Kitamura, and the fact that the concept was put across entirely in the mind without any graphic visuals. The sequel appears to lack all of these redeeming qualities, so i'll be skipping this one.

This is Awesome!! I'm a huge fan of the first movie :)
By the way, do you this parody website of the human centipede?

The film actually has a series of highly disturbing and unsettling artistic and political values. First, it explores the impact of violent entertainment and pornography in a direct and non academic manner. Secondly if you don't get the political message in both the first film and this hideous sequel I feel sorry for you. That being said after seeing the first one I'm not going to see this. I got it the first time.

This stuff of course is disgusting and not art. That said if someone actively pursues watching this garbage I personally would steer clear of people like that as they might have those tendencies. Yes I know I'll get bashed for this but think about people in the colleseums in the Roman times who watched people being slaughtered in the name of ...........These people were getting their blood lusts satisfied in reality, the people watching this filth are getting their blood lust virtually satisfied. Creepy, right?

The first one was ok, as B-horror goes. They didn't actually show anything, it was psychological rather than graphic. This one seems like it will be... well... let's just say i'll pass.

"heavens to murgatroid­!"

What do you expect after publicly defending some of the lowest human garbage that Hollywood ever produced?

Besides that, I was talking about the movie, not the book.

If you think this movie is bad, "The Human Millipede" was 10 times worse.

So why bother watching? If you did.

um, was a joke (millipedes have 10 times as many legs as a centipede)

Horror and predictable shock motifs are two very different animals. Any director who needs to use shock value to achieve a sense of freight is a hack; any audience member who falls for such shock value isn't intelligent enough to understand when the acting/writing/story telling is sub par.

I feel like a need a shower after watching the preview... I'd have to boil myself in bleach if I watched the movie.

Anyone that thinks the depiction of a woman being raped with barbed wire is an acceptable form of "entertainment" should probably be locked away.

Ew, really? I'm not even going to watch the trailer. I know there will be a number of people who will want to watch this film out of morbid curiosity. (and will probably regret it) But what really bothers me is that there may be some sickos out there who will view it to fuel their disgusting fantasies. What happens when a movie like this pushes one of the crazies right over the edge and they decide to make their fantasy a reality?

I don't think there's much of a concern with people trying to make these types of movies real. Horror movies have been around for ages and it hasn't made people do crazy things. I think the concern is the desensitization of people to a very real problem. Rape is a form of control and violence that millions of women are subjected to on a regular basis. No one really gets chased around by a crazy guy wielding a chainsaw and wearing your best friend's face, but thousands of real woman are raped every day. If we start to associate rape with fiction, fantasy and "entertainment" what will we start to feel for the victims who have truly suffered it?

Have you seen Se7en?

[lapetitechat]

10:39 AM on 09/30/2011

I knew somebody would bring up Se7en. The scene in which a "john" is forced to wear that metal device to simultaneously rape and murder a woman serves a purpose to the story, albeit an awful one. It's about John Doe committing atrocious acts of murder based on the seven deadly sins. The prostitute and the John's crimes were lust. John Doe therefore used that device to punish both victims for using those specific parts of their bodies to commit their "sin". The same manner in which he forced the "glutton" to eat until his belly burst. Or carved the face of the woman who was guilty of "pride". Yes, all those things are shocking & horrible but they are a complex part of a larger story, serving a purpose. Also, these scenes was implied but not explicitly shown. Enough to give the audience an idea of what happened but not to be "torture porn". That's not the same as the rape scene included in this movie. This one is an unnecessary part of the story added just for shock value and to make people say "ew". It's like a Michael Bay movie full of explosions. Why are things exploding? Because people just want to see sh** blow up. Treating rape like explosions isn't healthy "entertainment."

Gore is not scary. Sewing people together is just another schlocky film in the tradition of Saw and Hostel, aka "I can make a more gross movie than you can!"

Psychological terror is infinitely more frightening. Blue Velvet, Silence of the Lambs, Requiem for a Dream, Audition, Old Boy... these are movies that haunt you years later after you've forgotten about the latest blood orgy.

Audition.....the little noise she makes as she uses the wire saw, was haunting indeed.

It's a metaphor for what our society has been becoming for a few decades now. What do you think "trickle down" means?

...and they call it art. It is a world and society headed south.
