3/10
pointless film with the only redeemable quality being shock value

I never write reviews on IMDb but after seeing this film last night I was compelled to. First off I am a lover of films that push boundaries and appreciate titles such as a Serbian film, martyrs, irreversible, etc. This movie has absolutely no plot except for the obvious: a mentally disturbed man is obsessed with the first film and decides to make his own human centipede. The movie essentially consists of him capturing/killing people, creating a sloppy human centipede, and then killing them all after he is satisfied that the 12 person digestive track works. I enjoy the sensation of being genuinely disturbed by a film or laughing at over-the-top gore but this movie didn't really fulfill either. I attribute this mainly to the pointlessness of the movie in itself, but also just the general look and feel of the movie was not to my taste. There is nothing original or ground breaking about this movie, I feel like there wasn't even any thought put into it except with the goal to disgust people. The first film had an original idea, was executed well, and stayed true to the horror genre. None of these things can be said about the sequel. The only satisfaction I got out of the movie was laughing at how ridiculous it was.
