The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) is a 2011 Netherlands/UK horror by Tom Six.
With Laurence R Harvey and Ashlynn Yennie.      

Famously banned in the UK for 2011 DVD but later passed 18 after heavy cuts.

Also temporarily banned in Australia before later being passed R18+ with cuts. An uncut version was again banned in 2026.

In June 2026, Umbrella Entertainment announced an uncensored 4K UHD Collector's Edition of THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE TRILOGY would be released on 22 October.

In July, the uncut version was awarded an R18+ (High impact themes, blood and gore, violence, sexual violence, nudity and sex scenes) as an Accredited Classifier Decision.

The Classification Board are able to revoke and overturn a decision made by a classification tool or accredited classifier if it believed it would have determined a different rating or the consumer advice was misleading, incorrect or grossly inadequate. This is what has now occurred, with the R18+ being replaced by an RC on 21 August. It is the first time a film has been banned in such a way since the March 2024 introduction of Accredited Classifier system.

A cut version was released in the US Unrated by the MPAA. Later it was released in the uncut version which is now cheekily tagged as the Director's Cut, still MPAA Unrated. The film was also banned in New Zealand.

Summary Review: Sick Fantasy

Inspired by the fictional Dr. Heiter, disturbed loner Martin dreams of creating a 12-person centipede and sets out to realize his sick fantasy.

This is the type of movie you will either like or hate, I doubt there will be much in between. The film is quite shocking, but not the most outrageous of the genre.

Actor Laurence R Harvey is masterful as Martin yet doesn't utter a single word of dialogue.

The Shoot is a 1964 West Germany/France/Italy/Yugoslavia/Spain/US adventure by Robert Siodmak
Starring Lex Barker, Marie Versini and Ralf Wolter

According to the BBFC: There is infrequent use of very strong language ('c**t') and strong language ('f**k'), as well as milder terms such as son of a bitch, bastard, God and hell.

According to publicity blurb Eureka appear to have created new subtitles for this release. Maybe they did this with an AI tool and no-one checked the finished product?

Thanks to Tim who reports that the BBFC has now confirmed that the subtitles do in fact contain the stated strong language. Film distributors Eureka commissioned the new subtitles that now surely need to be rechecked for accuracy.

Summary Notes

When a villain named "the Shoot" terrorizes the constituents of Albanian country, which he rules. Heroic Kara Ben Nemsi (Lex Barker), and his sidekick are the only ones who can stop him

Dead Kids (aka Strange Behavior) is a 1981 Australia/USA/New Zealand Sci-Fi horror mystery by Michael Laughlin.
With Michael Murphy, Louise Fletcher and Dan Shor.

Released uncut on pre-cert VHS and was seized by the police during the Video Nasties Panic but did not make the Video Nasties list. Then released uncut on 1986 VHS. Cut by the BBFC for DVD. Uncut in the US

Powerhouse have lined up a release of Michael Laughlin's Strange Behaviour for March.

It hasn't gone through the BBFC just yet. They cut it for vertical wrist slicing in 1993, 2004 and 2008 after having passed it intact on video in 1986.

The BBFC seem to have had a rethink on that policy since the controversy when they cut Soulmate (2013) for similar reasons, and they passed a similar but much stronger scene in Lords of Chaos in 2019. So should be uncut this time. 

I just mention it because it would be quite notable and worth keeping an eye on. Not many films go from being passed intact to cut to uncut again.
