Human Centipede 2

with his cult classic " human Centipede" Director Tom Six, could have stuck to a formula and had a sequel fans of the torture porn sub genre would have still applauded. but rather than play it safe he took dramatic creative chances, making a black and white with little dialogue . Going into the movie i was aware of these elements. The first film was one of my favorite horror movies of all time and one of that films strengths was Dieter Laser's performance. Laurence Harvey, an unknown was really behind the 8 ball, when it came to measuring up against Dieter. With Harvey's character Six took it in a much different direction and here is where the EraserHead comparison's begin. It some ways it feels like a torture porn homage to the Lynch film. any time David Lynch is an influence i'm all for it . This however is not what the audience expected.
Since the first film, a serbian film was released, and her the heavy metal analogy comes into play, as with metal where the listener need harder faster music to meet their fix, horror requires increased stimulus as you are searching for the grail of what will shock or horrify you more. Six obviously aware comes at it with finesse and hit you like a savvy boxer with different combinations and flourishes than the first film. with the first sequence , there was relatively little gore, this movie picks up the blood and guts or gaping holes in the face, though it shot in a way where this doesn't seem to be the case ,as the black and white gives it a coat of grime.
It wasn't until i was at the end of the film that i realized the actual human centipede had little to do after it's construction took place in the last twenty or so minutes of the film, however i do get Tom Six's thinking of " well they have already seen ass to mouth and adults crawling around in diapers, so lets go this route."
with out giving away to much , the end was not as satisfying as the first film and felt as if it took me into the more predictable realms of the genre, but over all i look forward to more viewing and entering the lush filth of this re-envisioned world and only hope this movie gets more recognition than it has thus far
