The unrated is nowhere to be found, so I do want to give the unrated a visit on DVD hopefully. I do want to note that I most likely saw the edited version. Many scenes in this film are still in my head, and not just the gross scenes, but also many of the moments of the lead character and his weird mannerisms. Then the last 30 minutes, which are definitely too damn disgusting. They both manage to give the film a very dark humor tone during many scenes. Harvey (who manages to be even better than the infamous performance of Deiter Laser) but also to his lunatic mom played by Vivien Bridson. It's riveting cinematography, along with the performances, kept me entertained. To me this type of film doing this is the ultimate disgrace it can do- to get you bored. A Serbian Film is still the nastiest film I have ever seen, but that film's second half while nasty left me sorta bored. How far do people go to see films like this, and why do we? Michael Haneke pointed out this very question in his film Funny Games, and this film is exactly the type of film he would be pointing at and criticizing. People go watch horror films, well how about a really horrifying film? It is a question to be asked about films like this. The thing is, he has complete control of this film and the type of film he wants to make. not even sure he was trying to in the original. What's the importance of this? I'm not sure Tom Six was trying to say anything here. The script doesn't have much depth in it, but how can it? Many people as opposed to how well made a film is also ask what's the importance of it. The use of black and white gives it a tone of its own, and the cinematography is pretty damn excellent, making use of its textures very well. Like the original, the sequel is well-made. Does that say something about my mental health? Anyways, it didn't disappoint.
I wanted it to come in a different style and vain and for it to be so much more gross. Which is why I was completely excited for the sequel. I liked that about it, but at the same time it got a little dull at times. It was also very well-made, and not some crappy and weak thriller. It really didn't show anything, and it was very subdued in its execution. I was surprised by how tame it was as well. I really liked the original The Human Centipede.
