Dutch Horror Flick Sequel “Human Centipede” Is So Vile and Obscene, It Has Been Banned in UK
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on June 7, 2011
You know that this banning of the new Dutch horror film sequel of “Human Centipede” in Britain will make a faction of the movie-going public (that missing-a-few-screws faction) only want to see it all the more.
Because the first depraved “Human Centipede” flick just wasn’t disgusting enough.
For the record, the last film to be banned in the United Kingdom was the 2009 film “Grotesque” for its high level of sexual torture.
From FOX News Entertainment, 411 Blog, Horror movie ‘Human Centipede 2′ is banned in the UK:
The sequel to 2009’s grotesque German horror fest, “The Human Centipede” is so loathsome and foul that the British equivalent to the MPAA has refused to rate it, calling it “sexually violent and potentially obscene.”
The original film’s plot revolved around a mad scientist who sewed three kidnap victims together, mouth to anus, to form a sort of “Human Centipede.”
The sequel, directed by Tom Six, involves a man who becomes “sexually obsessed” after repeated viewings of the original film on DVD, and sets out to recreate the “Human Centipede” to satisfy his own perverted needs.
The director promised that the sequel would make original look like “My Little Pony.”
The Daily Mail reports that the British Board of Film Classification has ruled that “no amount of cuts would allow them to give the new film a certificate” and that the film may be guilty of violating Britain’s Obscene Publications Act.
The rejection by the BBFC means that “The Human Centipede Part 2: Full Sequence” will not legally be available in the UK.
Furious with the film board’s refusal to rate the sequel, Six fired of an angry email to the UK’s Empire magazine’s web site, “Thank you BBFC for putting spoilers of my movie on your website and thank you for banning my film in this exceptional way.”
From Starpulse, ‘Human Centipede’ Sequel Banned From England:
The upcoming sequel to graphic Dutch horror movie The Human Centipede has been banned from release in the U.K. after British censors deemed the film “unacceptable” to be shown to the public.
The original film, about a German doctor who kidnaps three tourists and surgically joins them mouth to anus to form a human centipede, received mixed reviews upon its limited release last year, and now the follow-up The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) is causing controversy over its sexually violent plotline.
The disturbing new movie, written and directed by Tom Six, was due for release on DVD this year, but it will not hit the U.K. market following a ruling by officials at the British Board of Film Classification.
