The Human Centipede II to be resubmitted to the Classification Review Board
- Share
Monster Pictures, the Australian distributor of gross-out horror film The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) — which was banned last week by the Classification Review Board (CRB) after initially being given an R rating in May — will submit an edited version of the film for reclassification this Friday. Cinetology can confirm that a hearing at the CRB is booked in for Friday morning and the results should be known by late next week.
Neil Foley from Monster told Cinetology this afternoon: “Monster Pictures will be submitting a very carefully modified version of The Human Centipede II to the Classification Board for assessment on Friday. Whilst some of the more graphic elements of the film have been modified we are confident that we have managed to maintain the overall integrity of the film. We trust that the classification board will see fit to clear it for classification.”
The alterations made to The Human Centipede II (review here) will presumably bring it closer in line with the cut version approved by the British Board of Film Classification in October. The film has a decent shot at being reclassified with an R rating, given it will be submitted to the same group who green-lit the unedited version. More updates to come.

integrity of the film ?
ANDYBOB: Um, I think so, after all few directors and producers would actually sit down to make a monumental stinker. From the opening shot to the final dissolve-and yeah sequential shooting is fairly rare-I think; there was a plan and no matter how far the movie zinged from the original concept, I think the ‘plan’ forms the integrity of the film?
This is in no way a criticism of what you said. It’s just that I too would like to know the answer to that one. L U K E…help??!!
I’ve now finally gotten round to watching both of the Human Centipede movies and whilst I thought the first one had a little something going for it this sequel was crap (as they often are).
I like the black & white minimal to no dialogue aspect of it but it comes across as a contrived cash in and a poor Eraserhead rip-off. In saying that as lame as almost everything was about HC II I don’t think it warranted being cut let alone banned. There are a couple of gruesome bits but as a horror fan I’ve seen it before and worse in other movies that weren’t cut.
Clearly the wrong kind of person happened to stumble across this little film (an ACL type no doubt) and decided to go right on with it. Guaranteeing this movie some sort of cinematic infamy it clearly doesn’t deserve.
