This is just bad.

Weird dude performs back-room surgery (using a hammer, staples, a knife and some duct tape) and shines in his incompetence. Bit rough, this one...

Tom Six had promised that this would be much worse than the first, and he achieved his goal with a vengeance. Well, from a cinematic viewpoint it's much better: wisely shot in stark B&W, it features (instead of a stock German sadist) the most owlish psychopath since Richard Attenborough in 10 Rillington, has greater and more succinct action, and basically perfects the concept. Otherwise, be warned: It's the vilest, sickest fiction film this side of the August Undergrounds, or possibly ever.

So this was pretty much the first film, except in black and white and even trying harder to shock with overuse of theatrical effects. When there is no underlying sense of dread or a reason to be scared, and with being desensitized from Hollywood gore, there was really nothing redeeming about this, apart from Laurence Harvey who fits perfectly for his role. Too bad he had to debut in this horrible piece of mockery of a horror film. Tom Six really is the worst writer to come along in years.

I don't even know how to rate this!

One of the worst movies of the year. Why do I keep doing this to myself?

It made me question humanity, and not in a good way. I thought it was an interesting choice to make the film black and white.

First Sequence was all hype and undelivered promises. This time Tom Six really let his twisted creativity loose. Gore is realistic and very nasty, oh and there is plenty of it. But what makes this film worthwhile is 'fuckeupiness' of it. It's close to Visitor Q or Salo in that respect. Again, great casting choise for the lead actor - Laurence R. Harvey is brilliant. I think I'll go to hell for watching this.

Makes the first one seem like a proper movie. Incredibly pointless and boring.

Incredibly bad, regarding all aspects.

Avoided some of the problems of the first movie while introducing others, notably some weak scripting and performances during those (few) scenes featuring dialogue. Grimier and more unpleasant than the original, which makes it either better or worse depending upon your point of view. Protagonist was certainly memorable. Not awful but difficult to recommend. Saw the cut Australian version.

Whereas the first took this sick idea and stretched it out into feature length in a coldly percise manner, this entry taps into the farthest reaches of perversion imaginable at every step of the way. I feel inclined to respect that.

The build-up isn't bad, but by the end it's just an overlong joke about the squits. Questions of moral decency aside, I was mainly left wondering why everybody didn't just die from blunt trauma. I'll also never trust heavily asthmatic people again.

I wish I could go negative points..... I think this experience was more painful for me than for the 12 victims combined. This is filmmaking at some of its most horrible - not necessarily due to the content but more towards every single other thing. This movie makes the first Human Centipede look like Citizen Kane by comparison.

It was like watching a pool of vomit for 90 minutes. At first you can find something funny or interesting, but then it just annoys you until you get disgusted.

Only a fool would watch this sober, alone, or with the idea that it is actually a film. The Human Centipede II is Tom Six's way of getting people to call him a "filmmaker" because his honest attempts at screenwriting, directing, and every other aspect of filmmaking failed. There is no story, little dialogue, boring camerawork, and horrendous acting. However, there is poop, blood, and masturbation. At least the first film, when the concept was fresh, entertained slightly. Boring and idiotic.

An absolutely atrocious combination of offensive gore, awful camera work and ridiculous narrative

wow, that was disgusting...

Human Centipede II is awful. It's everything the first Human Centipede should have been.

tom six furthers his unnatural anal fixation, only this time upping the ante by adding more butts and staples instead of sutures. sure, it's more disgusting, and subsequently better. it, however, is still a far cry from being a good horror movie.

This film is so fucking hilarious that I don't even care if it was intentional anymore. I love it. Literally the only time I wasn't laughing was the barbed wire scene, that was a bit rough.

Najbardziej odpychajacy film jaki widzialem w tym roku. Ma w sobie cos niepokojacego.

Well acted. Good special effects.

I loved Laurence R. Harvey and the fact he didnt utter a single word throughout the whole movie. Very well done for an original horror movie! Black and white, extremely graphic, eery, and violent. I can understand the critics/haters, but if Horror is what you came for, horror is what you got.

120% torture porn. Not sure why the backstory is there as it does not make the lead character any more sympathetic or more enticing. Aims to disgust audience, and not to tell a story.

I give it a little credit for it's ability to disturb and hold you're attention, but I'm a little horrified that this film was actually made.

Woow, he shot the sequel in black and white, now he´s a serious artist and filmmaker. Idiotic crap without any substance.

Much like A Serbian Film, this is a film with a genius premise that can't justify its content. It's simply far too awful to work as the satire of media-violence theory it wants so desperately to be.

I ended up rooting for that pudgy little greaseball to make his human centipede near the end for some reason.

Un watchable.

What I can't figure out is how an audience for this shit actually exists. Have to admit, though... the B & W look is impressive, and Laurence R. Harvey does a great job.

I'd rather watch a Uwe Boll film!

Nope.

Tries so hard to say something and be shocking but it's just a pathetic waste of time. The B&W just screams pretentious (adds nothing) and the main actor is incredibly annoying. I guess it's good for some laughs at how bad it is but it has literally no replay value which is ultimately what you need to be a "so bad its good" film. No build up either and is weird just for the sake of it, which is one of the most annoying things in cinema.

Arse spraying mayhem does not a good horror movie make.

There is a quite bare plot line here, a rotund security guard fetishizes over the original film and aims to better his idol. I was looking for a film a while ago which represents self-indulgence, I suppose this fits that category, however I also think the first film features in it's reiteration, purely to insult the audience. THC2 has stumbled upon a way to provoke a kind of fear of the awful concepts we are capable of. Featuring the original isn't as terrible as some of the gore, but still..

Six gave the audience what they wanted! More Gore! More Fecal Matter! Enjoy!

To call Human Centipede II an abomination might appear to grant Tom Six's film the kind of infamy and outrage he desires. Alas for him, what's most shocking about this barrel-scraping exercise in sub-humanity and gore is the absence of any wit or style. The Centipede films fall back on age-old mad scientist cliches to ignore the power dynamics that drive sadism and brutality, and exaggerate the symptoms for shock without any of the skill that makes the equally grim Hostel: Part II a great work.

Completely pointless movie. I laughed at the beginning but when the centipede was ready it became boring.

Sadly, the middle piece, while trying to be the most grotesque, simply ends up mediocre.

Again a bizarre and marv choice for the lead. This piece worked somehow better than the first one, though I was not that sure the ending was that well thought. The best of the film was the first half, the preparing. The latter part did not shock that much anymore since it was mere a variation from the first movie. Although I'm anxious to wait how the trilogy will end.

Have you been looking for a sick torture flick with the quality and self-importance of a shitty, pretentious student art film? Well have I got a movie for you! Trades the original's bore for gore, which isn't a redeeming factor, because it also does away with what little plot or logic there was, and replaces it annoying meta-awareness and colorized shit. Just a worthless film.

A clever response to the serous haters of the first film and anyone who thinks horror movies should be disregarded or banned (ergo making this film's predicament ironic). The shlock in this is better and more graphic than the first (in its uncut form), but the build-up is as usual terrible, with inane characters. The acting is woeful, but I guess when these folks have their faces right up against someone else's ass-crack, then I should reconsider that that's actually pretty marvellous acting.

To sum it up: oh God, why? Curiosity killed the cat and curiosity might drive me to throwing up during a movie at some point. The notion alone is naturally disgusting and horrible. Technically, it's well made, I liked how the auditive elements were used. But in all honesty, it's way, way too gross. So gross in fact, that I did skip some scenes towards the end and that I gagged at some points. And never in my life had I wanted to see somebody jerk off with sandpaper. Seriously fucked up.

Luminous.

I thought the first film was a great mixture of horror, dark comedy and some twisted ideas. This one doesn't really bother with humor or a decent plot and just goes for plain weirdness and a lot more gore. The main character isn't given any lines at all, which is the first of many big mistakes. The first hour is kind of boring, reminded me of Eraserhead. Then the gore begins.. and this almost makes the saw series look tame. But without a good plot to back it up, it's nothing but torture porn.

I do admire the audaciousness of Tom Six's ballsy give-no-shit-how-sick-the-world-thinks-I-am approach to filmmaking, but that doesn't necessarily mean the film itself is doing anything particularly interesting. Which it isn't. That said, the shitting scene was a delightful little bit of gross-out comedy.

Story could of been better, the first half was pretty slow and the second half had me laughing a few times. Yes it's sick, yes it's disgusting, but I think it lacked suspense which made it feel like just a gore flick. If you're desensatised to gore then it's pretty boring - if you're squimish then you'll probably find it a real 'shocker'.

Eraserhead on Meth.

To my surprise, there were things to like in this movie. The black and white cinematography gives it a faux-amateur feeling that blends well with the voyeur-sadism it aims for. However, then there's the content: 90 minutes of the most vile shit you can tell pretty much all the thinking involved with this movie was used for. Instead of playing his audience like a piano, the way Hitchcock used to say, Tom Six wants to torture it. Those with masochistic tendencies may assent; for others, pass.

Shit me, this was bad. The black-and-white, use of random tones, awkward silences, and some characters reminded me of Eraserhead - if Eraserhead was made by a complete flailing fucking moron. The cinematography and dialogue are completely hilarious, and I can't tell if this is intentional or not. Being from the UK, I didn't see all of the gory bits, but what was there was totally gross I guess. It was entertaining, but it sucked. Laurence R. Harvey is probably the best actor in the world though
