Stars: Jonnie Hurn, Chloe Farnworth, Dan Burman | Written and Directed by Drew Cullingham

Drew Cullingham, writer/director of the Western vampire flick Umbrage: The First Vampire, returns with The Devil’s Bargain, a apocalyptic tale set in 1974 and shot on a shoestring budget in twenty-four hours over four days, using an experimental ‘pinhole’ technique and distributed outside the UK’s censorship regime via streaming service Distrify.

With earth about to be obliterated by a massive asteroid, Adi (Hurn) and his young wife Ange (Farnworth), haunted by memories of the death of their son, journey to the idyllic rural setting where he was conceived, determined to shed clothes, inhibitions and psychological traumas before the planet is destroyed forever. But the arrival of Luca (Burman), a charismatic and mysterious young photographer, turns what’s left of their world upside-down and the horror to come is of biblical proportions.

Indie Spotlight Review: Nobody Can Cool

by Heather Wixson

Nobody Can Cool is the rather impressive directorial debut from up-and-coming filmmaking duo Dpyx, Marcy Boyle and Rachel Holzman, who crafted a blisteringly taut and thoughtful indie crime thriller with a palpable sense of tension from start to finish. A gritty and engaging tale of deceit, violence and desperation, Nobody Can Cool is anchored by a breakout performance by Nick Principe (best known from his work in the Laid to Rest series, Madison County and...

Title: The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) Directed By: Tom Six Starring: Laurence R. Harvey, Ashlynn Yennie, Maddi Black, Dominic Borrelli, Lucas Hansen, Dan Burman, Bill Hutchens From the moment The Human Centipede (First Sequence) met the public eye, it’s been clear that writer-director Tom Six is a man who really relishes attention. Sure, he deserves to be proud of the shot-in-the-dark turned horror fad, but Six takes that newfound clout way too far delivering a sequel that shows zero restraint, is oozing with egoism and is utterly unwatchable. Martin’s (Laurence R. Harvey) a small, plump and seemingly mute man who works in a London parking garbage. He wears glasses,...

If you aren’t near any of the cities where The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence) is playing during its limited theatrical run, don’t worry. Starting today, The Human Centipede 2 is rolling out to a variety of video-on-demand services. We’ve personally seen it on Time Warner and Verizon’s FiOS service, and it should roll out to Zune and other services shortly.

“Pushed to the brink by his harridan mother, haunted by the teasing voices of his abusive and incarcerated father, Martin sets into motion his plan to emulate Heiter’s centipede by creating his own version, in a rented warehouse, which he begins to fill with victims, including a loud neighbor, two drunk nightclubbers, a prostitute and a lecherous john, and several more … including Martin’s pièce de résistance, one of the actresses from The Human Centipede (First Sequence).

Except that Martin lacks the surgical skill, medical instruments...

The Human Centipede 2 Full Sequence UK Ban lifted. With the UK ban lifted, The Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence has been granted a “18 certificate by [the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC)] and can now be shown in its home country of the UK.”

We previously reported on the ban here: The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence): Banned by British Board of Film Classification.

Here is a listing of the film cuts (2:37 minutes worth) The Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence endured to obtain a 18 certificate (*Spoilers):

Company was required to make 32 individual cuts to scenes of sexual and sexualised violence, sadistic violence and humiliation, and a child presented in an abusive and violent context. In this case, cuts included: a man masturbating with sandpaper around his penis; graphic sight of a man’s teeth being removed with a hammer; graphic sight of lips being stapled to naked buttocks; graphic sight of forced defecation into...

The Human Centipede 2 Full Sequence Sick Poster. Tom Six‘s The Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence (2011) movie poster is outrageous, twisted, and perfect for this type of horror film. The Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence‘s plot synopsis: “the story of a man [Martin] who becomes sexually obsessed with a DVD recording of the first film and who imagines putting the ‘centipede’ idea into practice.”

The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence) starts its limited theatrical roll-out in the Us today and IFC has released a new (not safe for work) poster.

“Pushed to the brink by his harridan mother, haunted by the teasing voices of his abusive and incarcerated father, Martin sets into motion his plan to emulate Heiter’s centipede by creating his own version, in a rented warehouse, which he begins to fill with victims, including a loud neighbor, two drunk nightclubbers, a prostitute and a lecherous john, and several more … including Martin’s pièce de résistance, one of the actresses from The Human Centipede (First Sequence).

Except that Martin lacks the surgical skill, medical instruments and operating theater necessary to create a larger centipede in the image of Dr. Heiter’s masterpiece. So he makes use of materials at hand: duct tape, staple gun, household tools and a fanboy moxie.

What follows is...

IFC Films has released the second poster for The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence), which hits theaters today, October 7, and will debut on VOD formats October 12. Take a look at this "sick" poster below for director Tom Six's horror sequel.

Back in June, the British Board of Film Classification rejected The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence) on the basis that it was obscene, “would risk potential harm”, and “would be unacceptable to the public”. They also had mentioned that no amount of edits to the film would make allow them to grant it a rating. After multiple months of discussions and editing, the film has been granted an 18-rating.

According to Empire, 32 cuts have been made to the film and a total of 2 minutes and 37 seconds have been removed. Eureka, who is distributing the film in the UK had the following to say:

“We are really pleased that after nearly 4 months of detailed discussion and debate, we have been able to reach an agreement with the BBFC and to produce a very viable cut of the film which will both excite and challenge its fans. Naturally we have a slight disappointment...

Finally the BBFC has subsided some of their stronger viewpoints of the depravity filled Tom Six sequel 'The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence)'.

In clip number 3 of The Human Centipede we get to see the films villain Martin pissing blood and planning his own version of the human centipede.

Harvey, Ashlynn Yennie (Fetch) and Dominic Borrelli (Hogfather), Vivien Bridson, Lee Harris, Peter Charlton, Bill Hutchens, Dan Burman, Daniel Jude Gennis, Kandace Caine, Maddi Black, Lucas Hansen, Georgia Goodrick and Emma Lock.

The new footage opens with Martin (Harvey) pissing blood and watching his idol, Dr Heiter, hard at work. Inspiring! The sequel 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. The film features a 12-person centipede.

Ashlynn Yennie returns for this horrifying sequel only to find herself at the head of the centipede, in theaters October 7th

The shock! The horror! It's been a long time since a film has peaked the curiosity of a nation solely on its salacious nature. But The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) is currently having one of those Deep Throat moments that has people sneaking off to get a glimpse of this gruesome little shocker. The advance word of mouth promises a violent and gory 88 minutes that will permanently stain your brain with some of the most vomit inducing imagery ever captured on film. It's a circus sideshow, and people want to know for themselves just how bad it gets.

We can tell you, in all honesty, that it over delivers on the promise made by the first film. And those seeking a reprehensible, wicked thrill won't be disappointed. Even...

Opening in limited theaters October 7 from IFC Films, a new clip has been released from Tom Six's The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence) (read three reviews), which stars Ashlynn Yennie, Laurence Harvey, Dominic Borelli, Vivien Bridson, Lee Harris, Peter Charlton, Bill Hutchens, Dan Burman, Daniel Jude Gennis, Kandace Caine, Maddi Black, Lucas Hansen, Georgia Goodrick and even Emma Lock. The clip takes us with Martin (Harvey) as he tours his new dungeon of doom. It's a creepy set up for what's to come. Unfortunately the NY Times are dicks and don't use embed, so click here to watch it. Details were scarce until the UK banning which revealed that the sequel "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." The film features a 12-person centipede.

Okay, Orangemen, step right up. The Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence is crawling your way. Tom Six's highly anticipated film made its world premiere last week, and now the sickness is spreading…and it's coming your way.

The Palace Theater at 2384 James Street in Syracuse will be hosting a one-night only Human Centipede 2 event on October 18. Doors open at 9pm.

Already banned in the UK, early reviews of Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence verify that director Tom Six has lived up to his promise to make the original film seem like My Little Pony compared to the sequel. And for the ridiculously low ticket price of $7, you can judge that for yourself. No one under 18 will be admitted (Syracuse obviously doesn't buy into the "start 'em young" theory of raising horror fans).

Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence Synopsis:

Martin is a mentally disturbed loner who lives with his mother in a bleak housing project.
