The Aussie teaser for The Human Centipede 2

We're not huge fans of Tom Six's The Human Centipede: First Sequence here in The Basement, mostly because the movie didn't turn out to be as jaw droppingly disturbing as it was pertained to be. Once you get past the fact that it's about a shit-in-mouth human centipede the film is more meh than ick.

For some reason The Human Centipede turned out to be a cult hit and you know what that means, we get a Human Centipede 2 with the subtitle The Full Sequence. And if people thought the first film took things too far, check out the synopsis for the sequel:

"A man becomes sexually obsessed with a DVD recording of the first film in the series, The Human Centipede, and uses sandpaper to pleasure himself while watching the film. He decides to create a human centipede of his own, this time comprised of twelve victims as opposed to the first film's three. He uses his human centipede to his own sexual delight, taking sexual pleasure in watching the victims of the centipede defecate in each other's mouths, and using barbed wire wrapped around around his penis to rape the woman at the end of the centipede."

Honestly, this doesn't sound like my cup of scotch. I don't mind disturbing, but this just sounds stupid. It's shock for shock sake. The fact it was banned in Britain is a testament to how smart the British are. And Tom Six? I think the man needs to find a new hobby.

As for the teaser, check it out below . . . if you dare! Nah, it's not that bad. Probably cleverer than the finished product.

The Animated Addict: "The Adventures of Tintin" (2011)

If you're a 40 + white dude, like myself, you may remember a comic series called " The Adventures of Tintin ". I know I remember them. This series, dating back to 1929, got turned into a animated feature film by Steven Spielberg in 2011. After buying a model of ship called The Unicorn, teenaged journalist Tintin finds himself on adventure that will take him from the high seas, to the low deserts, and from the distant past to the present. With his trusty dog, Snowy, by his side, Tintin uncovers a story connecting two men across the centuries.. . The story is really quite good. It's well crafted, and high paced- with just enough slow moments to build and develop the world and the characters. This is the sort of adventure story you'd find in the old serials of the 1930's and '40's. In fact, it felt like it was the sort of tale that you'd find Indiana Jones undertaking. I found myself swept up, and swept along as our hero swung from one e...

Unlock your fate with The Puzzle

When my dad wasn't working, building stuff or being my dad, he was making puzzles. It was a guaranteed way for him to unwind. So it was with great interest that I sat down to watch Italian filmmaker Davide Melini's award-winning short The Puzzle. You see, the mother in the five-minute film likes to relax with puzzles just like my dad. Unfortunately, her good-for-nothing son keeps harassing her for money. Losing herself in her favourite passtime, the mother soon discovers that completing this puzzle might unlock a nightmare. The Puzzle has been an official selection at more European film festivals than you can shake a stick at, and was voted Third Best Italian Film at the Rome International Film Festival in 2008. Having watched it, I'm not surprised. It's a tight little film that hits you hard in the final few seconds. You can tell Melini cut his teeth as an assistant director for legendary Italian filmmaker Dario Argento. But enough chit chat on my part. See if yo...
