New York, NY (January 17, 2012) – IFC Midnight announced today that the un-cut version of Tom Six’s controversial horror film THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE PART 2 (FULL SEQUENCE), featuring one of the most graphic scenes in cinematic history, is available to audiences for the first time, via streaming, on Facebook’s new Social Cinema, where users will be able to interact with the film in a variety of ways including sharing clips and quotes with friends. THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE PART 2 (FULL SEQUENCE), along with its predecessor THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE (FIRST SEQUENCE), is available on Facebook for one-month before it hits its DVD release on February 14.
THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE PART 2 (FULL SEQUENCE) was originally released by IFC Films on October 7th, 2011 followed by its Video on Demand premiere on October 12th. The film, a sequel to Six’s original film THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE (FIRST SEQUENCE), focuses on a new villain named Martin (Lawrence R. Harvey) who is a mentally disturbed loner who lives with his mother in a bleak housing project. Martin works the night shift as a security guard in an equally grim and foreboding underground parking complex. To escape his drearyexistence, Martin loses himself in the fantasy world of the cult horror film THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE (FIRST SEQUENCE), fetishizing the meticulous surgical skills of the gifted Dr. Heiter, whose knowledge of the human gastrointestinal system inspires Martin to attempt the unthinkable.
THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE (FIRST SEQUENCE) opened in the Spring of 2010 and became a cultural phenomenon. It was discussed on shows including the primetime Emmys, South Park, Parks and Recreation, and 30 Rock. The first film featured an obsessed doctor who surgically joins his unsuspecting victims together, and was one of IFC’s biggest on-demand successes of all time, while also continuously selling out midnight screenings nationwide. The original film premiered at Fantastic Fest in 2009, receiving the awards for Best Horror Film and Best Actor, and also took home Best Picture at the 2009 Scream Fest. The film also won Most Memorable Mutilation at the 2010 Scream Awards.
