The Human Centipede is a series of body horror films created by Dutch filmmaker Tom Six, focusing on human beings being physically connected to each other through various means, sharing a single digestive system. The movies have come under much controversy, especially the 2011 film The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence). 2015's The Human Centipede 3 (Final Sequence) was intended by Tom Six to serve as the final film in the Human Centipede trilogy.
