Member sifu iron perm Posted May 6, 2010 Member Share Posted May 6, 2010 http://hotfile.com/dl/41296134/49db756/rx-thc-ppv.avi.html ...Internationally respected Siamese twin surgeon Dr. Josef Heiter has a demented vision for mankind’s future existence. He wants to remove human beings’ kneecaps so they have to exist on all fours and then surgically graft them mouth-to-anus to form a centipede chain. When two stranded female Americans arrive at his luxury home-cum-hospital looking for help, his long-gestating plan swiftly moves into chilling action with a shocking force. Kidnapping a third Japanese male tourist he begins the tissue matches, teeth removal and buttock moulding to create his triplet creature. http://img190.imageshack.us/i/29812460.jpg/ http://img43.imageshack.us/i/91088184.jpg/ http://img190.imageshack.us/i/16998056.jpg/ enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Cesare Posted May 27, 2010 Member Share Posted May 27, 2010 Been a fan of Dieter Laser (dr. Heiter in The Human Centipede) for some time now and I kinda liked the premise, so this was more or less a must-see... The movie is way better than I expected it to be. Rather minimalistic, very low-budget - but overall pretty cool. The WTF factor is high, though - and the central idea IS a tad sickening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted June 7, 2011 Moderator Share Posted June 7, 2011 I've never actually seen the original, and to be honest don't have any real interest to check it out, However the topic of censorship is always an interesting one, and for the sequel 'The Human Centipede 2', the BBFC have issued a complete ban on the movie in the UK, citing that it "poses a real, as opposed to a fanciful, risk that harm is likely to be caused to potential viewers". The BBFC has had a long history of censoring movies, from scenes involving nunchucks, butterfly knives, and even head-butts (the original release of 'The Matrix' had the head-butt Agent Smith gives to Neo cut out of it!). However in the last 10 years things have changed a lot, and, except in the case of animal cruelty, most movies now generally get passed uncut and slapped with an 18 certificate. It's unusual to see a whole movie get banned, however one of the reasons given is that it may fall foul of the 'Obscene Publications Act', which could be one of the driving factors behind it. The report from the BBFC specifically draws attention to a couple of scenes, one involving sandpaper, and another barbed wire, both in places you'd never want them to be.....and goes on to say that the main focus of the movie is "the sexual arousal of the central character at both the idea and the spectacle of the total degradation, humiliation, mutilation, torture and murder of his naked victims". The story itself seems weak at best, a man becomes obsessed with a DVD recording of the original movie, and decides to take it upon himself to see if he can put the human centipede idea into practice on a much bigger scale. Personally, the ban of this movie sounds like no big loss to the genreal movie watching population, the story alone pretty much defines it as a piece of work that it there simply to shock for shocks sake. But still, people always want what they can't have, and no doubt hardcore horror fans will become all the more determined to get this on import, and thereby developing it to the point where it will get the status of a cult movie, of which it probably doesn't deserve. Anyone else have any thoughts on the issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted June 7, 2011 Moderator Share Posted June 7, 2011 For anyone that's interested in reading the whole report from the BBFC, I've quoted it below - "The first film dealt with a mad doctor who sews together three kidnapped people in order to produce the 'human centipede'of the title. Although the concept of the film was undoubtedly tasteless and disgusting it was a relatively traditional and conventional horror film and the Board concluded that it was not in breach of our Guidelines at '18'. This new work, The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence), tells the story of a man who becomes sexually obsessed with a DVD recording of the first film and who imagines putting the 'centipede' idea into practice. Unlike the first film, the sequel presents graphic images of sexual violence, forced defecation, and mutilation, and the viewer is invited to witness events from the perspective of the protagonist. Whereas in the first film the 'centipede' idea is presented as a revolting medical experiment, with the focus on whether the victims will be able to escape, this sequel presents the 'centipede' idea as the object of the protagonist's depraved sexual fantasy. The principal focus of The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) is the sexual arousal of the central character at both the idea and the spectacle of the total degradation, humiliation, mutilation, torture, and murder of his naked victims. Examples of this include a scene early in the film in which he masturbates whilst he watches a DVD of the original Human Centipede film, with sandpaper wrapped around his penis, and a sequence later in the film in which he becomes aroused at the sight of the members of the 'centipede' being forced to defecate into one another's mouths, culminating in sight of the man wrapping barbed wire around his penis and raping the woman at the rear of the 'centipede'. 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. There is a strong focus throughout on the link between sexual arousal and sexual violence and a clear association between pain, perversity and sexual pleasure. It is the Board's conclusion that the explicit presentation of the central character's obsessive sexually violent fantasies is in breach of its Classification Guidelines and poses a real, as opposed to a fanciful, risk that harm is likely to be caused to potential viewers. David Cooke, Director of the BBFC said: "It is the Board's carefully considered view that to issue a certificate to this work, even if confined to adults, would be inconsistent with the Board's Guidelines, would risk potential harm within the terms of the VRA, and would be unacceptable to the public. "The Board also seeks to avoid classifying material that may be in breach of the Obscene Publications Acts 1959 and 1964 (OPA) or any other relevant legislation. The OPA prohibits the publication of works that have a tendency to deprave or corrupt a significant proportion of those likely to see them. In order to avoid classifying potentially obscene material, the Board engages in regular discussions with the relevant enforcement agencies, including the CPS, the police, and the Ministry of Justice. It is the Board's view that there is a genuine risk that this video work, The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence), may be considered obscene within the terms of the OPA, for the reasons given above."

Member ShaOW!linDude Posted June 7, 2011 Member Share Posted June 7, 2011 Never saw the 1st one, won't see this one. The very idea seems pretty gross and I certainly don't need a visual. Pass. Ain't gonna see that Serbian movie either. I like horror movies but never cared for the "Saw" franchise and movies of that ilk ("torture porn" I believe it's referred to as). Waste of good film if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 The question is not whether this should be banned... but why anyone would ever want to make it in the first place?

Member The Silver Fox Posted June 7, 2011 Member Share Posted June 7, 2011 Yeah, I don't think it's a big loss. I'm not crazy about censorship but I think they got it right this time. I like 80's slasher and Italian giallo films but I find these torture films repulsive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Apanblod Posted June 8, 2011 Member Share Posted June 8, 2011 Censorship is a lot more repulsive than the movie itself! Just because I don't like the content of a certain film, and there are scenes that could haunt certain people in their dreams, doesn't mean everyone else shouldn't have the right to watch it. Remove all censorship from movies! Don't we always complain about censorship in the past of the Kung Fu movies we love and hate seing spolied by the sleasy hands of censorship committé boards?

Guest Markgway Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Don't we always complain about censorship in the past of the Kung Fu movies we love and hate seing spolied by the sleasy hands of censorship committé boards? Yes, but surely there's a difference between Kung Fu and torture porn, with someone being forced to shit in someone's mouth? I'm on the fence about this banning, because my natural instinct is not to ban something because it's offensive, but where do you draw the line? Turning torture and degredation into a masturbatory sport shouldn't be something ANYONE wants to watch. Yet this film WILL find an audience. I find that more bothersome than what the BBFC do, given how truly powerless they are in today's age of internet and downloading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member bratty Posted June 9, 2011 Member Share Posted June 9, 2011 I've seen the first one and I definitely liked it. I have a screener copy of the DVD right here! Part 2 sounds interesting.. It makes sense, in this post modern world of the internet and streams of information out there. I'd watch it. Sounds pretty extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted June 9, 2011 Moderator Share Posted June 9, 2011 Like Markgway I agree the main issue isn't actually the ban here...it is much more a question of why something as vile and repulsive as this would be made, and what is it about the people that watch it that makes it so appealing? At the end of the day, and I am basing these comments purely on the description of the movie given in the BBFC report, we are talking about a movie where the whole perspective is from that of a character who derives his enjoyment through sexual violence and rape, and so in turn, we are being asked to also gain pleasure through viewing these acts of depravity. Does the fact that it is a movie provide justification that it is ok to view someone being anally raped by a dick wrapped in barbed wire? If the answer is yes, then what else can be made acceptable by putting it in a movie? I have already heard of the infant rape scene contained in 'A Serbian Film', so how long will it be before we see movies that cater for child pornography, where people will justify it by having the performers in the movie be over 18, so therefore making it ok? The fact is a movie which centres around a characters enjoyment of rape and sexual violence shouldn't be enjoyed by anyone, and I'd be interested to hear from bratty exactly what is in the movie that he's interested to see, providing some elaboration on just saying "sounds pretty extreme".

Member TheDenizen Posted June 10, 2011 Member Share Posted June 10, 2011 I never saw the first movie though it looked kinda interesting. I probably will get around to it someday, I love the actor who plays the evil doctor (Dieter Laser). It seemed like a gross premise, but by all accounts it was much less graphic than you might think, relying on the viewers imagination to fill in the grossest parts of the stuff they don't actually show on screen. That appeals to me. Watching a psycho pervert recreating and masturbating over said premise (with sandpaper/barbed wire) as a means of sexual gratification sounds absolutely retarded. I don't agree with a blanket ban (though the UK certainly has a reputation for this type of censorship nonsense) on the film, but I do question why in the world anyone would pay to watch it.

Member inframan Posted June 10, 2011 Member Share Posted June 10, 2011 Without commenting on the content, I'll say that these bans don't work. When I was in the UK, over 10 years ago, I remember you couldn't get Clockwork Orange or Resiviour (how the fuck do you spell that?) Dogs on DVD but the were still sold by bootleggers in many markets, sometimes in the tube stops. Every ban just creates an underground market.

Guest Markgway Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Bans don't work, but I think it's more like the BBFC drawing a line in the sand and saying there's some things we just can't pass. If creepy people want to see this movie they'll have plenty avenues open to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member The Amazing Psycho Per Posted June 11, 2011 Member Share Posted June 11, 2011 I saw the trailer for the fist and didn't feel the need to watch it, nor will I probably watch the sequel. But seriously, the whole thing seems to outrageous to be taken seriously. More like a big gory farce then anything else and I'm pretty sure the movies don't add much to the trailers. So what's the big deal? Is it the fact that there are sexual activities involved? It's funny, I didn't hear anyone complaint about the testicules smashing scene in I saw the Devil. I mean, the rules of the game haven't change, they are going as far as they can to shock people, and this one seems to have accomplish it's goal perfectly. I think it's pretty harmless, tasteless, but harmless none the less. It's not like it's touching on delicate real life issues, unless I'm mistaken, fucking with barbed wire or sand paper is not really an issue in this world. I don' t think it's a pertinent piece of work, but I'd banned manny of Hollywood propaganda crap before banning this. Resiviour (how the fuck do you spell that?)

Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted June 14, 2011 Moderator Share Posted June 14, 2011 So what's the big deal? Is it the fact that there are sexual activities involved? Absolutely, I simply don't understand why anyone would gain pleasure from watching a movie where someone gets off from sexually abusing his victims in a variety of sickening and violent manners. There is a reason why sexual abusers get repeatedly beaten in prison, they are considered, and rightfully so, as scum, even amongst other criminals, and little else. It's funny, I didn't hear anyone complaint about the testicules smashing scene in I saw the Devil. Relating back to my last comment, the reason why Lee Byung-hun smashes the guys testicles (although I admit "testicules" does sound cooler) is that he has a history of sexual violence towards women....that is justification enough for me at least.
