Banned.

Wow… So the BBFC banned Human Centipede 2, huh? I can’t remember the last time a horror movie got banned here. Are they really worried that this film is a danger to the British movie going public? If it was released, Britain would be awash with deviants running around sewing people arse-to-mouth? I’ve not seen the first one, but I’m not even a 100% convinced you can sew someone’s mouth to someone else’s anus in real life. We let them make the film here, but we won’t let them put it out here. How does that work? I remember when Scream was big in the 90’s, and it did feel a tiny bit dangerous, just because you could buy a Scream mask, grab a knife, and re-enact the film in real life (to a point, anyway.) But The Human Centipede? Come on… Sad thing is, previous banned films on the BBFC list that have finally come out, have been important horror movies like Freaks, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Last House On The Left. When Human Centipede 2 undoubtedly does get released here, the film’s probably not going be worth the wait or hype. If they’d just passed it, it would have come and gone just like the first one. They shouldn’t of given it any credence as being something edgy or to be taken seriously. All they’ve done is to do this film a massive favour.
