I just don't get what's the big deal about the original "The Human Centipede" movie. Sure, it had a very disgusting premise, but other than that, it was a pretty generic horror movie, with dumb victims that are unable to do anything and a cartoonish villain (Personally, I found Dieter Laser performance in the first film so cheesy and over the top that I wasn't able to take it seriously)
While this sequel tries to improve the flaws from the first film giving it some kind of "arthouse"/David Lynch wannabe treatment, the final result still leaves too much to be desired, mostly because of the absolutely terrible script and the bland and one-dimensional characters. "The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence)" starts with a shameless act of self-promotion from Tom Six, who makes the main character of this sequel a fanboy of the original "The Human Centipede" film. Why somebody would be so obsessed with such a forgettable and generic horror movie is a mystery to me, but to each his own, I guess.
So this guy wants to be like the villain of the first movie, and then he tries to make his own Human Centipede capturing a random group of people, and all of them are easily captured by the fanboy (Seriously, why so many horror movies make the victim characters so dumb and incompetent? I mean, all the people who are captured to make the new human centipede are so unbelievably dumb and unable to have any kind of proper reaction when they are in trouble. Also, there are no cops in this world, or at least somebody able to realize that there is an abandoned baby inside one car) and then we have some glimpses of the pathetic life of this fanboy in order to understand why somebody would be obsessed with such a lame movie as The Human Centipede in first place.
Those glimpses of the pathetic life of the fanboy are the best parts of the movie, because at least in those scenes he doesn't act as the generic invincible villain cliché that could be found in almost every horror film from the recent times. Other than that, there is nothing of interest here.
Stupid. This movie is stupid. It tries too hard to be "shocking" and "edgy" that it ends failing in every other aspect. It is boring, uninteresting and lame, but at least it tried to be better than its predecessor. And I appreciate that.
