Title: The Human Centipede II: Full Sequence
Product review: Tom Six apparently wasn't joking when he sub-titled the first Human Centipede film "First Sequence," because here it is just two years later, and we've got the inevitable sequel on our hands. The first film -- something of an instant cult favorite, even if it made pennies at the box office -- seemed to have fully explored its central premise, so what could Six do to up the ante? This time around, he goes with the meta commentary, focusing on a disturbed, overweight parking garage attendant named Martin Lomax who's obsessed with the first Human Centipede film. Eventually, Martin decides to recreate the experiment therein portrayed, and what ensues is a brutal, graphic depiction of his efforts. The Human Centipede II: Full Sequence is so over the top that I simply got tired of it and felt the weak attempt at social commentary was undone by its own boundary-pushing. Nevertheless, the improvement in technical skill over the first film at least holds some merit.
