It's a shame this has become known for censorship woes, which mean trims to its wilder atrocities, because Tom Six’s follow-up is a stronger, stranger, more interesting picture than the first. Security guard Martin (Laurence R. Harvey) obsesses over his Human Centipede DVD, and dreams of sewing the horrible people he meets into one composite creature.
