The Human Centipede received widespread criticism and controversy upon its release. The film was criticized for its graphic content, including scenes of torture, mutilation, and degradation.
By the third entry, Tom Six went full satire. Set in a brutal US prison, this film stars Eric Roberts as the warden and Dieter Laser (returning as a different character named "Bill Boss"). The film is a loud, racist, misogynistic scream-fest. Bill Boss decides that to lower crime rates and save money on healthcare, he must build a 500-person centipede. The film breaks the fourth wall, is absurdist comedy, and includes Bree Olson (of adult film fame) in a bizarre role. It is widely hated by critics, but for completionists, it proves Six was always winking at the audience. the+human+centipede
