What's inside “The Human Centipede”?

This article caught my eye because I have heard a lot about The Human Centipede, though I have never seen it. I definitely wondered what this article would have to say. Well, it turns out that the original movie is being made into a trilogy, and the writer of the article has seen the second movie. According to the him, the next movie is terrible and has no value at all. This does not surprise me, because from what I hear, the first one did not sound very meaningful or intellectually stimulating. The new one is about another character, who saw The Human Centipede and tries to imitate it, but with twelve people instead of three. If this movie is released in theaters, I bet I'm going to hear a lot about it. It's supposed to make the first one look like "My Little Pony." The article convinced me pretty quickly, but that isn't really much of a feat. After all, if I watched a movie like this, I would not be searching for any deep meaning or insight into life. However, the author actually says he would be willing to defend the first movie, so the second must be really bad. Apparantly it rips off a variety of other movies, but then again, I think most modern horror movies are far from original. I definitely agree with the author's point that the maker of this movie probably shouldn't gain any wide respect. It seems to me like a pretty meaningless movie that is being created for money, since I think many people will end up watching it. The author mainly depends on ethos, I think, because he refers to many other movies and I am fairly convinced that this guy knows what he's talking about.
