Cinema Nova’s Kristian Connolly said he was happy it was returning but would’ve preferred the uncut version. It will screen at Melbourne’s Cinema Nova from Boxing Day. When the obsession becomes mania, he sets about creating his own version of the infamous centipede – but three victims is not enough for Martin – he wants 12. Here he spends his time obsessing over a DVD of the The Human Centipede: First Sequence.
The “depraved” film in question follows Martin, a loner who works in a bleak underground car park.
The 30-seconds is much less than in the US and the UK where they cut about 90 seconds and 150 seconds respectively. Within a week, Monster Pictures cut 30 seconds out of the film – “extreme closeups of penises” and various bits in a rape scene and it was then reclassified again to R18+. In addition, the film must be refused classification because it contains gratuitous, exploitative or offensive depictions of violence with a very high degree of impact and cruelty which has a high impact.”Īs a result, it couldn’t be sold, hired or advertised in Australia. The board said in a release: “the level of depictions of violence in the film has an impact which is very high. However after complaints and an application from NSW attorney-general Greg Smith, the Classification Review Board voted unanimously late-last month to refuse classification. The film is therefore appropriately located within the R 18+ classification with consumer advice of high impact themes, violence and sexual violence”. The Classification Review Board originally deemed it okay earlier in the year, saying: “the film is high in impact and may be offensive to sections of the adult community. “This is a niche film for people who want to see that kind of stuff…we really do not understand the fuss at all really,” manager of local distributor Monster Pictures, Neil Foley, told IF. The highly-disturbing cult film, the sequel to The Human Centipede: First Sequence, was previously banned in Australia after being pulled from cities after complaints during its November run from Christian lobby groups. Cult film The Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence will be crawling back into Australian cinemas from Boxing Day after it was reclassified by the Classification Review Board but in a turn of events, it’s been released uncut online to Australians.
