The Human Centipede 3 : Final Sequence (2015)

I'm sure by now that just about everyone is familiar with the whole Human Centipede premise, if not then a quick look on the web will be your guide.

I must admit that the first one didn't really do anything for me, once you knew what was going to happen and then saw it happen there wasn't much else to it.

The second one was truly awful. It felt more like a fan made YouTube movie. So of course to top it all for part three they have to go one bigger. Well, five-hundred bigger to be precise.

Set in a prison for the truly wicked we are introduced to the warden, William Boss (played by Dieter Laser, the doctor from the first movie) and his accountant Dwight (Laurence R. Harvey who is the main character from the second movie). Summed up they are running into money troubles and Dwight, once again obsessed with the Human Centipede films, has an idea. If you've not worked it out already, it's a massive human centipede.

The trailer for the movie shows the centipede and there is even a picture of it on the poster so there are no surprises here, it's going to happen and it does happen.

However, this is not the big picture of the film. Instead we are faced with the internal struggle of our "heroes" and the prisoners locked in a power struggle, additionally the cringe scenes are not all about the centipede.

Although the acting makes most porno stars look like they've gone to RADA, Laser's character as William Boss steals the show being just about the most over the top anyone has ever been ever. He is on top for most evil movie bad guy if he wasn't more suited to something from a Carry On film.

Still, although it started off looking as if it would be a huge pile of gastric-passed faeces it actually turned out to be my favourite of the three, though I am hoping the franchise ends here, any more would just be very, very silly.
