Garish, meta and gross, the first teaser for Tom Six’s The Human Centipede Part 3 (Final Sequence) is here.
Who knows if having a room full of prisoners watch both Human Centipede films in the series’ third part, which also features a cameo from writer-director Tom Six and stars Dieter Laser and Laurence R. Harvey, is self-aggrandizing hackery or a meta-movie version of the films’ central conceit? From a German mad scientist, to a squalid, deranged fan, to this ‘bigger, badder’ American production, The Human Centipede Part 3 looks garish and goofy, aiming to deliver on new heights of gross. Will it?
In The Human Centipede Part 3 (Final Sequence), “Bully prison warden Bill Boss (Dieter Laser), 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 (Eric Roberts). 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 (Laurence R Harvey) 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. Having nothing to lose, Bill and Dwight create a jaw-dropping 500-person prison centipede.”
IFC Midnight releases to theaters and VOD on May 22. Vulture premiered the clip.
