Love them or hate them, the Human Centipede films are insanely popular. They have wedged their way into mainstream pop culture. Even if you haven’t seen the films, chances are, you know the gist of it. Need more proof that the franchise has hit pop culture status? How about this : Entertainment Weekly has the scoop on the upcoming films release date and synopsis – and it may surprise you.
“EW can exclusively reveal that Human Centipede Part 3 (Final Sequence) will be released to theaters and VOD on May 22.”
That’s way sooner than I expected. The plot sounds…interesting. I suppose we will have to wait and see if all this attention causes Writer/Director Tom Six to go soft on us. Read on below for the full rundown courtesy of EW.
When writer-director Tom Six unleashed the first Human Centipede film onto an unsuspecting world back in 2010 it’s hard to imagine many people thought it would one day become a full-fledged trilogy. Actually, it’s hard to imagine many people thought anyone would make a movie about people being surgically stitched together to form a single digestive tract in the first place. But that’s a discussion for another day. EW can exclusively reveal that Human Centipede Part 3 (Final Sequence) will be released to theaters and VOD on May 22. The film stars Dieter Laser from the original Human Centipede film, Laurence R. Harvey from Part 2, and franchise newbie Eric Roberts. Director Six promises that the movie is “100 percent politically incorrect.”
Bully prison warden Bill Boss (Dieter Laser), leading a big state prison in the US of A, has a lot of problems; his prison statistically has the highest amount of prison riots, medical costs and staff turnover in the country. But foremost he is unable to get the respect he thinks he deserves from his inmates and the state Governor (Eric Roberts). He constantly fails in experimenting with different ideas for the ideal punishment to get the inmates in line, which drives him, together with the sizzling heat, completely insane. Under threats of termination by the Governor, his loyal right hand man Dwight (Laurence R Harvey) comes up with a brilliant idea. A revolutionary idea which could change the American prison system for good and save billions of dollars. An idea based on the notorious Human Centipede movies, that will literally and figuratively get the inmates on their knees, creating the ultimate punishment and deterrent for anyone considering a life of crime. Having nothing to lose, Bill and Dwight create a jaw-dropping 500-person prison centipede.
