The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) (2011)

Is it nuts to expect more from a movie like "The Human Centipede II" (Full Sequence)? With a premise and set-up like this, what can you expect, except for a few good scares and a whole lotta gore? But with an intriguing killer like Martin, I was actually hopeful, and disappointed by the never-ending, and I suppose inevitable, stream of torture that followed.

   I guess I would have liked to have seen more Martin, less of the centipede. More scathing black humor, less of the gore? Crazy? Maybe. But my love of all things fuck-upedly psychological led me to wish for an entirely different movie.

   I'll be honest and straight-up and admit that I haven't seen Tom Six's controversial original (and at this point I don't think I'll bother.) But to those uninitiated few, I'll describe the original premise to the best of my abilities. Sensitive readers, stop right here. It only goes downhill from here.
