- 83Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanEntertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanFar more grotesque than the first Human Centipede - in fact, The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence) could be the sickest B movie ever made.
- 30The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckWhatever gothic originality the first Human Centipede possessed is altogether lacking in this sorry follow-up.
- 25Slant MagazineSlant MagazineThe desire to eat someone's ass is almost always superficial; there's no thought of sustenance, and more sophisticated pleasures are usually imminent. Not so with The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence).
- 25The A.V. ClubKeith PhippsThe A.V. ClubKeith PhippsThe first Human Centipede had audacity on its side. Human Centipede II has only excess.
- 20VarietyRobert KoehlerVarietyRobert KoehlerMore 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.
- 20Time OutJoshua RothkopfTime OutJoshua RothkopfThe question remains: Exploitative films are a dime a dozen, but how low will two-faced art-film distributor IFC go?
- Nasty and over the top, The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) feels like a horror movie that hates horror fans.
- 0New York Magazine (Vulture)David EdelsteinNew York Magazine (Vulture)David EdelsteinThe movie is a reductio ad absurdum, 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.
- 0Village VoiceVillage VoiceIt's perhaps the sequel we deserve. But that doesn't mean this dumb, blunt follow-up - both more unspeakably grotesque and less scary than the first film - is worth sitting through. Once Six's conceptual project becomes clear, his escalating audience-mocking torture is increasingly pointless.
