The Human Centipede II Gets BBFC Approval

Eureka! Entertainment has announced the forthcoming release of the controversial Dutch horror film The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence).

Ian Sadler, Sales Director for Eureka Entertainment, Bounty Films’ UK distributor said: “We are really pleased that after nearly four months of detailed discussion and debate, we have been able to reach an agreement with the BBFC and to produce a very viable cut of the film, which will both excite and challenge its fans. Naturally we have a slight disappointment that we have had to make cuts, but we feel that the storyline has not been compromised and the level of horror has been sustained.”

Further details of our plans for the UK theatrical and DVD release will be announced early next week soon, however, Film4 FrightFest’s Halloween all-nighter, at at the Vue Cinema in London’s Leicester Square, have quickly confirmed they will screen the film on Saturday, 29th October 2011.

Tom Six, who will attend the event with producer Ilona Six and some of the cast, said: “I am insanely happy I can now show my beautiful deformed baby to the FrightFest audience”.

Alan Jones, FrightFest co-director, commented: “We’re delighted to be hosting the UK premiere of The Human Centipede Ii (Full Sequence). FrightFest world premiered the original film, also directed by Tom Six, and this sequel is exactly the sort of genre movie FrightFest is world famous for championing: it’s surprising, shocking, satirical, sobering and sensational. Horror movies rarely come as controversial as Six’s latest assault on the senses, and we cannot wait to let our audience share its complex cleverness and introduce them to as many cast and crew members as we can. Our grateful thanks go to Eureka! Entertainment for allowing us to show the movie”.

Ian Sadler added: “Eureka! Entertainment, and Bounty Films (Australia), are extremely excited to be able to present The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) at FrightFest. Fans of the first film are in for a fun-filled, stomach churning, seat squirming treat of the most nauseous. Tom Six has delivered us a villain who, in years to come, will be revered alongside Freddie and Jason. The ‘silence of the banned?’ No more. Thank you BBFC.”
