We might not get to see it here in the U.K. thanks to our watchful guardians at the British Board of Film Classification, but our American friends are gearing up for the release of the horror sequel The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) from writer-director Tom Six, with the controversial shocker getting its first full trailer courtesy of Yahoo Movies. The film, which premiered at Austin's Fantastic Fest earlier this month, is the follow-up to 2008's The Human Centipede (First Sequence) and made headlines in June when the BBFC refused it a classification over concerns that ""there is little attempt to portray any of the victims in the film as anything other than objects to be brutalised, degraded and mutilated for the amusement and arousal of the central character, as well as for the pleasure of the audience".
The Human Centipede 2 stars newcomer Laurence R. Harvey as the antagonist, a disturbed loner called Martin, and also features Ashlynn Yennie, Dominic Borrelli, Georgina Goodrick, Lucas Hansen and Bill Hutchens. Take a look at the trailer...
Can't help thinking the BBFC have dropped the ball with this one. By effectively banning The Human Centipede 2 from these shores, they've created a load of publicity for something which the majority of the population would never have even heard about. In all honesty, if it wasn't for the fact the BBFC have refused a certificate, I'd probably not be posting this trailer and now - with all of the hype surrounding a film that The Guardian says is a piece of shit anyway - illegal downloads are bound to end up going through the roof. Way to go, BBFC.
Regardless, The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) will look to repulse North American audiences when it hits cinemas on October 7th.
