Even though I enjoyed the madness of the first two films in
the series there is little to recommend in the latest film in director Tom Six’s
infamous trilogy The Human Centipede 3
(Final Sequence) (2015). Returning
from the previous two films is Dieter Laser and Laurence R. Harvey but this
time as different characters. This time
Harvey is Dwight Butler who works in a prison for warden Bill Boss
(Laser). They incompetently run one of
the worst prisons in Texas and need something radical to change or they will
both be out of a job.
It is Dwight that suggests that they use something radical
to get the inmates in line which is to take the “medically accurate” surgical monstrosity
of the Human Centipede films and
apply it to the prison system. It takes
a while before Bill can be convinced but ultimately the wheels are set in
motion for all the prisoners to become the ultimate “human centipede.”
If this film had played everything seriously it probably
might have been a better film. Instead, it repeats what had already been done
well in the previous film (with the main character thinking the original Human
Centipede film was just something to fantasize and copy) by making both of the
first two films something to copy. Laser
is a caricature from beginning to end and you can never take anything he says
or does seriously which does the film a disservice. The film and the franchise has de-evolved
into a parody of itself and its hard to enjoy a film that took such an
innovative idea and is now making fun of itself the way this film has
done.
It doesn’t help that the film utilizes porno star Bree Olson
as Daisy, the only female in the cast who is forced to do several sexual favors
to Laser’s warden, and Six makes an a Laser overacts and Eric Roberts’ third act
appearance does nothing for the film.
This is a mess of a film that is better left alone.
ppearance as himself to guide Dwight and
his medical team on just how to do the surgery accurately.
