The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) is a 2011 Netherlands/UK horror by Tom Six. With Laurence R Harvey and Ashlynn Yennie.
Famously banned in the UK for 2011 DVD but later passed 18 after heavy cuts. Also temporarily banned in Australia before later being passed R18+ with cuts. An uncut version was again banned in 2026. In June 2026, Umbrella
Entertainment announced an uncensored 4K UHD Collector's Edition of THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE TRILOGY would be released on 22 October. In July, the uncut version was awarded an R18+ (High impact themes, blood and gore, violence, sexual violence, nudity and
sex scenes) as an Accredited Classifier Decision. The Classification Board are able to revoke and overturn a decision made by a classification tool or accredited classifier if it believed it would have determined a different rating or the consumer
advice was misleading, incorrect or grossly inadequate. This is what has now occurred, with the R18+ being replaced by an RC on 21 August. It is the first time a film has been banned in such a way since the March 2024 introduction of Accredited
Classifier system. A cut version was released in the US Unrated by the MPAA. Later it was released in the uncut version which is now cheekily tagged as the Director's Cut, still MPAA Unrated. The film was also banned in New Zealand.
Summary Review: Sick Fantasy Inspired by the fictional Dr. Heiter, disturbed loner Martin dreams of creating a 12-person centipede and sets out to realize his sick fantasy. This is the
type of movie you will either like or hate, I doubt there will be much in between. The film is quite shocking, but not the most outrageous of the genre. Actor Laurence R Harvey is masterful as Martin yet doesn't utter a single
word of dialogue.
