The official synopsis has been released for The Human Centipede (Final Sequence), the latest instalment in the notoriously disgusting horror saga which has fallen foul of censors across the globe.
The third film in writer-director Tom Six’s series is due to hit video-on-demand in the US on 22 May, reports Entertainment Weekly. It will feature The Human Centipede (First Sequence) villain Dieter Laser and Laurence R Harvey, who played the main bad guy in second instalment The Human Centipede (Full Sequence), teaming up in new roles as prison warders. This time around they will attempt to create an ambitious 500-person “human centipede” by forcing multiple victims to form a single alimentary canal.
The synopsis reads:
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.
The new instalment will also feature Friday’s Tommy “Tiny” Lister, Death Race’s Robert LaSardo and former porn star Bree Olson alongside Six himself.
Human Centipede (Full Sequence) was the subject of a rare move in 2011 by the British Board of Film Classification, which refused to certify it, meaning that it could not be legally supplied anywhere in the UK. It was eventually passed with an 18 certificate after more than 30 cuts totalling two minutes and 37 seconds. The film was also banned for a period in Australia, and remains banned in New Zealand.
It is not clear if Six will attempt to secure a UK release for the new film.
