The Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence(2011)
Inspired by the fictional Dr. Heiter, disturbed loner Martin dreams of creating a 12-person centipede and sets out to realize his sick fantasy. For more about The Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence and The Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence Blu-ray release, see The Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence Blu-ray Review Starring: Laurence Harvey, Ashlynn Yennie, Vivien Bridson, Maddi Black Director: Tom Six The Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence Blu-ray, Video QualityThe first Human Centipede had a surprisingly bright, almost sterile aesthetic--which fits well with Dr. Heiter's surgical background--but the sequel takes the complete opposite approach to mirror the squalor of Martin's existence. It's dark, dingy, and handheld, shot digitally in color and then converted in post to a punchy black and white. IFC's 1080p/AVC-encoded Blu-ray presentation does the best that it can with the source material, which has some of the problems you normally associate with low-budget shot-on-video productions. The biggest offender is that there's aliasing all over this film. Seriously, you'll notice jaggies in just about every scene. Anytime there are close parallel lines in the shot--the grill of a car, the frames of Martin's glasses, the walls of the warehouse--you'll notice a wavering stair-step effect. A similar moire pattern shows up often in some of the characters' clothing. It's unavoidably distracting. The density of the black and white color grading is also somewhat inconsistent. Some sequences have a very "pushed" high contrast look, comprised mostly of blacks and whites, while others have a muddled grayish appearance. (Oh, and look out for the really obvious digitally-inserted rain.) As for clarity, it's mixed too. There are shots that are fantastically sharp and detailed, and others that look soft and muddled. The film's Blu- ray producers probably didn't have much to do with any of this--I chalk up any deficiencies to the way the film was shot--but be aware that this isn't exactly a pristine high definition experience. The Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence Blu-ray, Audio QualityI have no qualms, though, with the film's DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track, which is clean and dynamically solid and appropriately gruesome. The first film only had a stereo mix, but Full Sequence's 5.1 sound design means the grisly sounds of torture can come at you from all directions. And they often do. Most of the last third of the film consists of muffled, face-buried-in-buttocks screaming, potent gun shots, diarrhetic gurgles, and other similarly horrific noises, and you can tell the foley artists had fun with this one. (There's a brief featurette in the bonus features that shows the sound designers at work.) There's no score, per se, but there is a sort of unsettling ambient drone that fills in most scenes. Dialogue--what little of it there is--is always clear and easily understood. The disc includes optional English SDH and Spanish subtitles.
