The Human Centipede 2: Misery Loves Company
Matt Cherette · 09/28/11 01:23AMHere's a trailer for The Human Centipede II: Full Sequence, the sequel to Tom Six's 2009 torture porn shocker.

But since sequels always outdo their predecessors, the psychopath in Full Sequence rounds the number of victims up from three to a dozen. Is it any surprise the movie's already been banned in the UK?
