Human Centipede mastermind Tom Six will see the premiere of his already controversial sequel The Human Centipede: Full Sequence tonight at the Alamo Drafthouse theater in Austin, Texas as part of the Fantastic Fest seventh annual kickoff.
Six recently spoke with The NY Times about the film, which was banned in the U.K. for its scenes of torture, humiliation, defecation, and forced barbed-wire sodomy. The always outrageous auteur explains to writer Dave Itzkoff why he likes pissing people off and embraces the term “torture porn.”
Says Six:
I actually like the term. I see porno films, of course, and I like them, I have no problem with that at all. And there have been so many horror films, and that’s all torture and misery. That’s the genre. I kind of like that they combine it. I think my film is a torture porn with European art sauce or something.
I like to make controversial films. I like that people talk about your work. I would hate it if I would make a film, and people wonder what to have for dinner when the film is over and not think about your film. I love it that people talk about it, hate it, can’t sleep over it.
Because if people say it’s a nice shot or it’s a nice story line, it’s so general. You can say that with almost any film you see. And things like, “this film should never have been made,” that’s exceptional.
The Human Centipede: First Sequence starred Ashlynn Yennie and Ashley C. Williams as American tourists abducted by an evil German scientist hell-bent on creating a human centipede by sewing them together mouth-to-anus.
Full Sequence is set around a fat, perverted miscreant named Martin (Laurence R. Harvey) who attempts to create a much bigger human centipede of his own after watching the Six’s original movie. Yenni returns for the sequel, but it’s not known yet if she’s playing herself or reprising her First Sequence role in some kind of fantasy scene.
