The Human Centipede III (Final Sequence)

Let me be clear, I rated this movie with a 1 because 0 is not available.

I actually liked (well, it had some good parts) the first one, and thought the second was terrible, but this final sequence was absolutely stupid, boring and lacked everything a normal and even a bad movie should have: SOMETHING INTERESTING.

Seriously, I've watched several stupid movies full of sharks, octopuses and all that s*** and I've never seen a movie so stupid as this one.

PS: Kudos to Tom Six for being capable of making both disgusting but interesting movies and also terrible and completely stupid movies. He sure has a gift. A stupid one, but still a gift.

If you've recently been introduced to the Human Centipede series, I suggest just checking out the first two movies and completely ignoring this 3rd installment. This one tried to be comedic, which is a major disappointment. Fans of this series loved the first two movies because they were very dark and twisted. Tom Six seems to not understand this and only wanted to make a comedic sequel just for the sake of it being "different". I've seen this happen with other horror sequels, and it never turns out well. The comedy itself was in bad taste.. as a few others have pointed out.

You know a movie is going to be bad when you have a porn star (Bree Olson) as one of the main cast.

The Plot.

Bully prison warden Bill Boss, leading a big state prison in the US of A, has a lot of problems; his prison statistically has the highest amount of prison riots, medical costs and staff turnover in the country.

But foremost he is unable to get the respect he thinks he deserves from his inmates and the state Governor.

He constantly fails in experimenting with different ideas for the ideal punishment to get the inmates in line, which drives him, together with the sizzling heat, completely insane.

Under threats of termination by the Governor, his loyal right hand man Dwight comes up with a brilliant idea.

A revolutionary idea which could change the American prison system for good and save billions of dollars.

An idea based on the notorious Human Centipede movies, that will literally and figuratively get the inmates on their knees, creating the ultimate punishment and deterrent for anyone considering a life of crime.

I LOVED the first two....especially the second which was really surreal.

Trust me...this movie is horrible. It's made for three dollars and all it really can be distilled down to is a screaming pseudo Nazi.

There is no real plot like the first two.

The production values are way inferior as well.

I was SO hoping this would be good.

It's not.

In the slightest.

There are no words in the English language (that i can use here) that can accurately describe how utterly terrible, awful, and just downright dumb this 'movie' was. May i first ask who wanted this movie to be made? What? No-one? OK, THEN WHY ON EARTH DID TOM SIX DECIDE TO MAKE THIS Piece OF GARBAGE??? There is no way, any sane human being would believe that this was in any way imaginable a good idea. It has some of the worst acting i have ever seen in my entire life from every single person in this film and will someone tell Dieter Laser to STOP BLOODY SHOUTING EVERY DAMN SENTENCE LIKE WE ARE 100km AWAY, JEEZ. And on top of the god- awful acting it comes accompanied by the worst scripts in history, and a plot that made absolutely no sense whatsoever, in fact, there was no plot for 90% of this thing. This is 'The Human Centipede' right? SO WHERE WAS THE CENTIPEDE FOR THE FIRST HOUR AND 20 MINUTES??? I honestly do not know which was more difficult to sit through, the surgery (or lack thereof) or that piece of garbage that was the culmination of bad acting, writing, directing and everything else. There were a few times where the film showed signs of trying to be satirical and even self aware but it was so ridiculously dumb that by that point you just want to gouge your eyes out. I don't even know why i am still wasting my time talking about this when i just wasted an hour and 40 minutes of my life watching it. So here's the score and if you want to subject yourself to torture be my guest because i'm out. - 0.3/10

I've been a big supporter of writer/director Tom Six and his taboo-busting Human Centipede films since the beginning: I rated the first film 8/10, and gave the jaw-droppingly twisted sequel 9/10. The only reason I didn't give Part Two full marks was because I believed that Six still had a few tricks up his sleeve and would probably surpass himself with his third film.

As it happens, I was wrong.

As far as the controversial content is concerned, the film delivers numerous scenes that live up to Six's notorious reputation, kicking off with some sexual abuse, before proceeding to serve up such sordid treats as the torture of a prisoner with pans of boiling water, a nauseating castration scene, the insertion of a gun barrel into a man's stoma, the consumption of human testicles and dried clitorises, some wound-rape and coma-rape, and, of course, the creation of not just the biggest human centipede yet, but also a human caterpillar, the surgical process for both depicted in graphic detail.

But while the film doesn't wimp out on the deviancy, it does suffer from two major problems that make it a very unsatisfying experience overall. The first is the prison setting, which is so implausible that it renders the whole movie utterly ridiculous. The first two films, while unlikely, were at least vaguely plausible: it was possible to believe that a raving lunatic might try to stitch a few folks ass-to-mouth out of curiosity, but the notion that the head of a large correctional facility could do the same, with the co-operation of his staff, is absurd in the extreme and seriously detracts from the film's overall effectiveness as a shocker. Even when viewed as a black comedy, it's still a dumb premise.

The second issue I have is with Dieter Laser (the actor who played Dr. Heiter in the first film): his performance as sadistic warden Bill Boss is hugely irritating, the guy drawing out every single syllable at the top of his voice to the point where I would have liked to have seen HIS mouth sewn to someone's ass just to shut him up. Laurence Harvey (bug-eyed star of the second film) is also crap, but at least he's not quite as annoying. Both guys are out-acted by porn-star Bree Olson, who is also a whole lot easier on the eyes.

If the subtitle 'Final Sequence' is to be believed, this film sees an end to the Human Centipede series; it's a hugely disappointing way to wrap things up. Let's hope that Six's next film sees the director back on form: we need something to flush away any memories of this rather obnoxious mess.
