Christy Lemire, Associated Press: WEAK (cg) "You say you haven't seen it all, that you haven't been sufficiently grossed out, that all possible taboos haven't been explored? Well, here you go. Have at it. Enjoy." (Read the full review...) 653 words, 10/06/11 Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: EXCELLENT (cg) "...could be the sickest B movie ever made. But that's why you may feel gripped by the horror of what you're seeing and the terror of what's coming." (Read the full review...) 77 words, 10/07/11 Peter Travers, Rolling Stone: POOR (cg) "...you'll puke up a storm. Not so much at the movie, whose shock value wears off quicky, but at director Tom Six, who seems to hate himself almost as much as his audience." (Read the full review...) 188 words, 10/07/11 Roger Ebert, RogerEbert.com: POOR (cg) "...reprehensible, dismaying, ugly, artless and an affront to any notion, however remote, of human decency." (Read the full review...) 445 words, 10/07/11 Kat Murphy, MSN Movies: POOR (cg) "...you feel almost drugged by its noxious atmosphere, numbed by nausea and despair. Every illusion that humankind might be better than beasts is stripped away." (Read the full review...) 785 words, 10/05/11
Andy Webster, New York Times: POOR "...in place of novelty we have dank interiors (shades of 'Saw') and black-and-white photography (à la 'Eraserhead').... missing is that lingering subtext, leaving only a lurid, splattery wallow..." (Read the full review...) 235 words, 10/07/11 Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times/Chicago Tribune: POOR "Tom Six has something to live up to, expectations to fulfill... he prankishly raises a middle finger to those who liked his first film and then sticks it into the eye of anyone still looking." (Read the full review...) 563 words, 10/07/11 V.A. Musetto, New York Post: VERY GOOD (cg) "...sick, disgusting and vile. It's also demonically funny, stylish and ingenious.... See this if you think you can handle it. And bring a barf bag just in case." (Read the full review...) 327 words, 10/07/11 David Edelstein, New York Magazine: POOR "...a sick joke taken to extremes, beginning with a goof on the notion that horror movies inspire copycats and ending with a test to determine whether some people will watch anything." (Read the full review...) 295 words, 10/03/11 Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: POOR (cg) "...reprehensible, dismaying, ugly, artless and an affront to any notion, however remote, of human decency." (Read the full review...) 445 words, 10/07/11 Karina Longworth, Village Voice/LA Weekly: POOR "A smug fuck-you to 'Human Centipede' fans, it's perhaps the sequel we deserve. But that doesn't mean this dumb, blunt follow-up is worth sitting through." (Read the full review...) 246 words, 10/05/11
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: POOR (cg) "...many hard-core horror fans complained that 'First Sequence' was not hard-core enough... 'The Human Centipede II' ought to shut those critics up." (Read the full review...) 510 words, 10/07/11 Claude Peck, Minneapolis Star-Tribune: POOR (cg) "One is left to ponder: How did Tom Six convince actors to participate in this project, and who would dare skulk into a public moviehouse to view it?" (Read the full review...) 133 words, 10/07/11 Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: POOR (cg) "...all Tom Six is going for, with the generous application of both hardware supplies to the skin and feces to the camera, is a tired commentary on his shallow talents: They're excremental." (Read the full review...) 391 words, 10/14/11 Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: POOR (cg) "...the rare sort of film that doesn't make you curious whatsoever about what was lost in the cutting room." (Read the full review...) 746 words, 11/11/11
Karina Longworth, Village Voice/LA Weekly: POOR "A smug fuck-you to 'Human Centipede' fans, it's perhaps the sequel we deserve. But that doesn't mean this dumb, blunt follow-up is worth sitting through." (Read the full review...) 246 words, 10/05/11 Alexandra Cavallo, Boston Phoenix: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg) "...the novelty of the original -- a surgeon stitches people together anus to mouth -- is lost in this black-and-white sequel... a mundanely grotesque slog through B-movie perversion." (Read the full review...) 165 words, 10/13/11 Keith Phipps, AV Club: POOR (cg) "...any sick wit gets drowned by director Tom Six's oppressive approach, which piles on one 'Can you take it?' gross-out moment atop another." (Read the full review...) 424 words, 10/06/11 Jen Yamato, Movieline: POOR (cg) "...the very nature of fan worship and celebrity becomes the basis of new horrors.... you don't have to see 'The Human Centipede II' to know you don't want to see it." (Read the full review...) 1,226 words, 09/23/11 Richard Larson, Slant: POOR (cg) "I'd rather spend my time masturbating with sandpaper than contemplating the origins of the bad taste lingering in my mouth." (Read the full review...) 496 words, 10/02/11

(Read the full review...) 563 words, 10/07/11 Daniel Engber, Slate: POOR "A crime against cinema? I'll show you a crime against cinema!... we're following the exploits of a lunatic kidnapper with a fetish for artificially induced digestive continuity." (Read the full review...) 777 words, 10/07/11 Andrew O'Hehir, Salon: WEAK "...silly, clever, disgusting and ultimately meaningless... more like a perma-teenager's idea of dark and disturbing excess." (Read the full review...) 1,010 words, 10/07/11
Robert Koehler, Daily Variety: POOR "More boring than stomach-churning, the film nevertheless contains scattered scenes and sequences so far beyond the tolerance of the squeamish that it can't be overstated..." (Read the full review...) 806 words, 09/29/11 Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter: POOR "...a sorry follow-up.... provides plenty of stomach-churning sequences, such as Martin knocking out someone's teeth one by one with a hammer..." (Read the full review...) 409 words, 09/30/11 Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times: POOR "Tom Six has something to live up to, expectations to fulfill... he prankishly raises a middle finger to those who liked his first film and then sticks it into the eye of anyone still looking."
