The Human Centipede 3 (Final Sequence) – 0 out of 5

I dragged my heels on watching The Human Centipede 3 (Final Sequence) because the second film was so unbearably bad (read the review here).  I actually enjoyed the first film because it was shocking in all the right ways and something fresh in the horror genre.  The second one, on the other hand, was just shocking for the sake of being shocking and it reeked of effort.  It was like watching Marilyn Manson after we became jaded to his shock rock gimmick as it just looked sad and tiresome.  So, after sitting through the equivalent of something like that in movie form, I said that I would either never watch the third film or give it some time before I give it a shot.  Well, I gave it a shot and it is straight garbage.

Looking at this and I sometimes wonder why I put myself through this
and watch stuff that is almost guaranteed to be complete shit.

A cowboy Texan with a German accent is somehow
the most normal thing in this film.

In a state prison in the south, Warden Bill Boss (Dieter Laser) is a straight up monster who verbally abuses the prison’s accountant Dwight (Laurence R. Harvey), sexually harasses and assaults his assistant Daisy (Bree Olson), and regularly tortures the prison’s population.  After his violent ways put the prison in jeopardy of being shut down by the governor (Eric Roberts), Dwight comes up with an idea to fix the prison’s retention rate and violence within the building.  Dwight is a big fan of The Human Centipedeand its sequel (in this film, the products exists as movies themselves within the fictional world) and suggests that all the inmates be connected together, mouth-to-anus, in the same way as the victims in the film.  Boss enlists the help of the movies’ director; Tom Six (himself), and puts the plan into action and aims to create the largest sequence of the human centipede.

If Six was a good writer, he might have been able to make some thoughtful
commentary about the state of our for-profit prison system here in the country...
or he can just go for some more pointless Edgelord crap that will be forgotten
10 minutes after the credits roll.

As much as I disliked him in the second film,
I was genuinely impressed with Laurence R.
Harvey's performance.

When I watched and reviewed the second film, my scoring system didn’t have an option for a 0 out of 5 yet.  Scary Movie V was the film that was so bad that I ended up enacting a change to my scoring system.  Had the zero been around when I watched The Human Centipede 2, it would have gotten a zero because it was so bad.  The third film is just as bad but bad for so many different reasons.  The problem I had with the second movie is the fact it stunk of effort as it tried too hard to be shocking.  It cranked everything up to 11 and did it so often that it stopped being shocking and just got tedious.  I’ve never been one for movies that go for gratuity rather than substance.  It is fully possible to be shocking and feel like it means something.  Hell, I felt like the first one accomplished that but when a movie just wants to be shocking for no reason but to be shocking, it usually is a sign that the story is weak and potentially the production is weak in other places as well.  This film isn’t suffering from being gratuitous with its shock factor.  Instead, the film is just obnoxious and annoying.

For some reason, former WWE pro-wrestler Gangrel was in the film
and this is pretty much all he does.

Eric Roberts:  He'll appear in your movie for
cheap.  It doesn't matter what movie.

Sure, the Final Sequence has its moments of shock and its Edgelordian moments that writer/director Tom Six thinks are edgy, but these moments have no real weight to them due to one element that made this entire movie non-stop cringe:  The performance of Dieter Laser.  I really enjoyed him in the first film and felt he was creepy and eccentric—I also find it amusing that he has returned to the franchise to play a new character (the same with Laurence R. Harvey from the second film).  Sadly, in this film, Laser is going for broke and is so annoyingly over-the-top in his performance that no amount of gore or Edgelord rape sequences can overshadow it.  Every single line, every time he moves his body or gestures with his hands (or tongue, he is constantly sticking his tongue out), he looks so desperate for attention and the entire performance becomes a test of patience as it grated and grinded away my ability to pay attention to this steaming pile of stink.  This isn’t me joking or being hyperbolic, every scene that he is in is so incredibly difficult to sit through.  I would have rather sat through the never-ending gore porn that was the last film and burn myself out that way than watch Laser deliver another line…or see his tongue stick out of his mouth another time.

There are choices actors make and then there are choices.

Seriously, why?

Beyond this, the film is exactly what you’d expect…but can’t quite deliver it.  The movie wants to be darkly funny and gross and uncomfortable, but it just ends up feeling cliché and there is no deny that it feels like it has already been done.  Maybe the inane desire to put shock over story burned out Tom Six but this movie just feels tiresome.  It is obviously resting on the concept that bigger automatically mean better as the centipede is larger and Laser’s performance is non-stop yelling but it can’t cover up that this film has more of a simple concept than an actual story as it is desperately trying to fill its running time.  This movie, in all honesty, feels like Six just gave up and farted it out…but it is a fart that started at the beginning of the centipede and then had to go down the line.  So, it is basically tedious and incredibly boring.  Six seemed like he put more effort into saying how great he was in the script than actually constructing a story and it kinda shows.

Six now wants to make a spinoff called The Human Caterpillar.
Because he isn't ready to stop beating this dead horse...a dead horse
that we all kinda stopped caring about after the 2nd movie.

The Human Centipede 3 (Final Sequence) ultimately ended up feeling like a glance into the past and look back at a shock horror film that clearly wanted to be a legend in the world of horror pop culture but, ultimately, is now a forgotten relic.  Thanks to a really grating performance, shock that feels more pathetic and desperate than actually shocking, and a story that felt like the writer/director just shrugged his shoulders at, it is no wonder that we’ve moved on from this franchise and have never giving it a second thought.
