“We didn’t want to repeat the same character again. “Everything in the film is larger than life,” he said, waving a walking stick in the air with flourish. Neither can manage an American accent, but that was never important to Six, who also populates The Human Centipede 3 with Eric Roberts, ex-porn star Bree Olson, Friday’s Tommy “Tiny” Lister, and tattooed character actor Robert LaSardo. Laurence sports a Chaplin mustache-or perhaps it’s a Hitler mustache-to play Boss’s submissive right hand accountant. Laser, who played the first film’s methodical Nazi Frankenstein, is unleashed upon the screen as the sadistic, scenery-devouring warden, Bill Boss. They are our heroes.”įor his grand cinematic finale, Six brought back the stars of the first two films, Germany’s Dieter Laser and Brit Laurence R. “Everybody in Europe is like, ‘My god, what are those Americans doing?’ At the same time we are very proud of America, because you guys saved us in the Second World War.

Waterboarding makes its way into the film, with an extra torture-porn twist: An inmate is strapped down and suffocated with boiling water, leaving his face a bloody tangle of flesh. Bush Prison, and the guys in the prison are wearing orange jumpsuits like it’s Guantanamo Bay,” said Six. “We in Europe follow the news, so of course as a joke I needed to name the prison George H.W. “I would love it if President Obama sees it,” declared Six as we sat down for a post-premiere chat, having slept only a few hours “from all the adrenaline.” Hailing from the liberal Netherlands, Six says he’s “not very into politics” but couldn’t resist the chance to skewer right-wing America. Bush Prison where a maniacal, cannibalistic, misogynist, and racist warden ( The Human Centipede’s Dieter Laser) opts to create the world’s largest human centipede to curb overcrowding, overspending, and violence in his miserable prison fiefdom. Gore and ugliness still abound, but this series-ender is far more political satire than body horror, set in the fictional George H.W. Six, a boyish 41-year-old sporting his trademark dapper duds and an impish twinkle in his eye, doesn’t quite make good on that promise in The Human Centipede 3, an America-set meta threequel that swells in scope (500 poor souls stitched end-to-end, instead of 3 and 12) but diverges from the path of grimy flesh-rending gore that made the second installment so viscerally revolting.

Nor is it for most critics, judging by the Tomatometer on the third and final link in the cinematic chain which Six famously promised “would make the last one look like a Disney film.” The Human Centipede 3, like the first 2009 film The Human Centipede (First Sequence) and 2011’s stomach-turning sequel The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence), is not for most moviegoers.
