Sequels are sometimes considered just an attempt at squeezing more money out of a franchise that studios or producers feel is possible after the success of a single film. That definitely isn’t the case with Tom Six’s upcoming sequel to Human Centipede: First Sequence.
This sequel, simply labeled Full Sequence, takes the premise and understanding of the first film and goes all meta and cerebral with it. Here’s the film’s premise.
Martin is a mentally disturbed loner who lives with his mother in a bleak housing project. He works the night shift as a security guard in an equally grim and foreboding underground parking complex. To escape his dreary existence, Martin loses himself in the fantasy world of the cult horror film The Human Centipede (First Sequence), fetishizing the meticulous surgical skills of the gifted Dr. Heiter, whose knowledge of the human gastrointestinal system inspires Martin to attempt the unthinkable.
Not only will this film follow a completely different story than First Sequence, but its toting itself as being “100% Medically Inaccurate”, which alone is a brilliant marketing strategy.
The film is currently making its way around the festivals, including making huge waves at Fantastic Fest, but you can expect it to hit everywhere but the UK early next year. Take a look at the first full trailer after the jump.

Last year, the world was rocked when a man named Tom Six directed some of the most gruesome and horrific scenes in the history of film, let alone the horror genre. Now he’s planning to up the ante even higher with his sequel, the alleged Full Sequence.
The film, which is shrouded in a fair amount of mystery, has got some reportedly ridiculous things to show us, and Six even has the balls to make the film meta in explaining how it ties with the original Sequence. Here’s the synopsis.
The film centers on an antagonist called Martin (Laurence Harvey), who becomes sexually obsessed with a DVD recording of the film within the film, The Human Centipede (First Sequence). In the DVD, a surgeon kidnaps three people and surgically connects them mouth-to-anus. Martin masturbates as he watches the film, with sandpaper wrapped around his penis.
He subsequently creates his own twelve-person “human centipede” and gains sexual gratification from the pain, humiliation and suffering of his victims. He is shown to become sexually aroused whenever a member of his centipede is forced to defecate into the mouth of the victim behind them. Martin rapes the woman at the rear of the centipede with barbed wire wrapped around his penis.[2] A teaser trailer also revealed that a baby will be in some-way involved with the plot. The penises of two of the victims will be attached to the top of the head of the lead segment.
That rundown alone is enough to make you cringe, but don’t take our word for it. Take a look at the reactions of real-life folks after the jump when they watched the uncensored version of the film in Australia. Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence may just hit theaters here in the US sometime in the next decade.

Just when you thought it was safe to try and forget about director Tom Six’s rather unique take on ATM in The Human Centipede (First Sequence), along comes a promo for Six’s next chapter in the saga entitled The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence). Event though some may be offended by the first film or what it contains, we’re going to go ahead and show you the new promo anyway in the interest of presenting you with lots of choices on how to spend your entertainment dollar.
If you recall the first film, it follows two rather unfortunate American girls who are kidnapped by a German surgeon. Then, along with a Japanese man, they are surgically transformed into a gory centipede-like creature. Yes, its just about as disturbing as you can imagine.
According to Six, The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) will steer away from “realism” this time and instead promises to be “pretty nasty.” Did he not see the first film?
“I had so many ideas that I couldn’t fit them all in the movie,” the director told IFC. “I wanted the audience to get used to this crazy centipede. Now, in ‘Part 2,’ I can use all my ideas. So everything is in it this time. I don’t hold back anything.” I guess he was holding back with part one? This should be interesting. And by interesting I mean even more disturbing.
The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) is due in 2011 but if you’re curious now (and after the above why wouldn’t you be?) check out the promo after the break.

Warning: This review contains mild spoilers and contains disturbing subject matter. Read at your own risk.
Tom Six is one sick bastard, and that isn’t necessarily an insult. The Danish filmmaker wrote and directed The Human Centipede (First Sequence), one of the most visually disturbing films I have ever seen. I almost had to take a break while watching it, and that has never really happened to me before.
The Human Centipede takes place in Germany. Dr. Heiter is a maniacal ex-surgeon who became world renowned for separating Siamese twins. Now he is obsessed with connecting things, and his first experiments are on his three Rottweilers. A tombstone on his property is engraved with “My sweet 3 dog,” a foreboding sign of things to come.
He is ready to start experimenting on humans, and much to his delight, two unwitting victims literally come knocking on his door. American tourists Jenny and Lindsay get lost on their way to go clubbing, then get a flat tire. While they are trying to decide what to do, they are approached by a gentleman in a Mercedes, who doesn’t speak English and starts making lewd gestures toward the gals.
