A story about a state-run prison, an insane warden, his creepy assistant, and Tom Six jumping the shark.

Listen in as me and my resident Human Centipede specialist, Chris, try to figure out why this unnecessary sequel exists.

Written and directed by Tom Six (The Human Centipede 1 & 2, The Onania Club), the Los Angeles Times called the finale to the trilogy "frightless and boring," while Entertainment Weekly said "the Human Centipede 3 is crap." Talk about blunt.

It tells the story of unhinged prison warden Bill Boss (Dieter Laser, who played the villain in the first film) and his failing prison in the middle of a desert hell. Faced with unruly prisoners and a threat to his funding, Bill turns to his creepy little accountant, Dwight Butler (played by part 2's villain, Laurence R. Harvey), for ideas. The best one they come up with is to take inspiration from the first two films and stitch all the prisoners ass-to-mouth. Uber meta, right? Of course, the plan is green lit by Bill and what could possibly go wrong..?

The film is currently available on AMC+, IFC Films Unlimited, Prime Video, and of course Blu-ray and DVD.
