![]() Writer-director Tom Six has, if anything, upped the ante each time, as in he's made his centipede even longer and violated one's peepers. If this one-trick-pony series wasn't your cup of tea to begin with, "The Human Centipede III (Final Sequence)" definitely isn't going to change your mind. It may be "100% politically incorrect," and proud of it, but it's even aggressively, depressingly worse than you'd expect. In this third and mercifully final entry, writer-director Six has gotten awfully cynical and self-congratulatory, making "The Human Centipede III (Final Sequence)" the death rattle of the most perverse trilogy ever committed to celluloid. In a way, it was singularly horrific that describing it as "vile" or "repellent" would come across as additional compliments, but that would be giving the filmmaker more power and way too much credit. That miserable experience was the apotheosis of bad taste and visual cruelty masquerading as extreme filmmaking. His meta, "100% medically inaccurate" 2011 follow-up, "The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence)," simply went too far, being repulsive for the sake of being repulsive. It was unbearably tense and deeply frightening because it showed you just enough without feeling gratuitous. Dutch bad boy Tom Six was on to something with 2010's "The Human Centipede (First Sequence)." Built around one seriously twisted and disgusting concept -one that saw three people surgically connected from ass to mouth to form a single digestive system -the "100% medically accurate" film dared you to watch and be shocked.
