The movie that cannot be un-seen is getting a sequel and the cast of The Human Centipede 2: The Full Sequence has been announced, and the UK is banning the film.
First Sequence star, Ashlynn Yennie, will be reprising her role of “Jenny” in the sequel directed by Tom Six. Laurence Harvey will be playing “Martin”, the new mad scientist who will assemble the 12-person centipede. The new cast members include, Dominic Borelli, Vivien Bridson, Lee Harris, Peter Charlton, Bill Hutchens, Dan Burman, Daniel Jude Gennis, Kandace Caine, Maddi Black, Lucas Hansen, Georgina Goodrick and Emma Lock.
And while they are at it… Director Tom Six replies to the recent Ban of this film in the UK for being classified as “sexually violent and potentially obscene”
“Thank you BBFC for putting spoilers of my movie on your website and thank you for banning my film in this exceptional way. Apparently I made an horrific horror-film, but shouldn’t a good horror film be horrific? My dear people it is a fucking MOVIE. It is all fictional. Not real. It is all make-belief. It is art. Give people their own choice to watch it or not. If people can’t handle or like my movies they just don’t watch them. If people like my movies they have to be able to see it any time, anywhere also in the UK.”
While I agree that this is art, and like any art it is highly subjective.
While some people like to be disgusted as a form of entertainment, just as some like to be scared for horror films.
But where do we draw the line.
Sometimes in films we see things truely horrible in movies, usually because that is what is to be overcome in the film. It defines the badguys and allows you to cheer for the goodguys.
But when is a movie disgusting for disgusting sake? And is it wrong to be entertained by that?
