Monster Pictures are delighted to announce that THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE 2: FULL SEQUENCE has been resubmitted to the Australian Government Classification Board and has again been granted an R 18 + certificate with consumer advice that warns ‘High impact themes, violence and sexual violence’.

The film has been modified by thirty seconds, these modifications were done with the utmost care so as to not damage the integrity of the film – we are absolutely confident that this is the case.

Monster Pictures feels that this decision highlights the absurdity of Classification Review Board’s decision to ban the film in the first place.

We would like to take this opportunity to applaud the Director of the Classification Board for this decision and to express how pleased we are that the film is being judged on the merit of its content rather than the hype surrounding the film.

Melbourne’s Cinema Nova will begin screening the modified version of the film beginning Boxing Day 2011.

The DVD and Blu-Ray of the film will be released late February 2012.

Kristian Connolly, General Manager at Cinema Nova offered the following comment…

“The Australian classification system, one of the few of its type in the world, has served cinemagoers well for decades. Flip-flops such as this border on satire, recalling the shrieks of Helen Lovejoy on The Simpsons; “Won’t somebody please think of the children?!” Guess what? They did and that’s why it was rated R18+ in the first place.”
