Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence Banned In UK! Plus Trailer

The much anticipated (by me) sequel to The Human Centipede (First Sequence) has been denied an 18 certificate in this country, effectively banning it. And they are also considering action under the 'Obscene Publications Act'. This is what they had to say about their decision...

"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. It poses a real, as opposed to a fanciful, risk that harm is likely to be caused to potential viewers"


But why bother? I don't know about you, but I'd give my left nut to go see that now! It sounds awesome! When they ban or cut films like this, it just makes the viewer look for it in other ways. And in the age of the internet, that will not take long.

Take A Serbian Film. Cut by over four minutes in this country, it made the BBC News website. I went straight out and 'found' the uncut version. Banning or cutting does no one any favours. If people want to see it they will.

Anyway, check out the teaser trailer...
