Reviews

The Human Centipede 3 (Final Sequence) has been met predominantly with negative reviews from critics and viewers alike. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a low approval rating of 20%, indicating widespread critical disapproval. The consensus suggests that the movie sacrifices coherent storytelling and suspense in favor of shock value and gross-out horror, leaving many viewers uncomfortable rather than entertained. Metacritic's score is even lower, at 5 out of 100, highlighting near-universal unfavorable reviews. IMDb users have rated the film 2.7 out of 10, often criticizing its pacing, writing, and reliance on disturbing content rather than narrative depth. Some reviewers noted that despite its intention to serve as a darkly comedic take on the franchise’s concept, the execution fell flat, feeling more distasteful than clever. However, there are niche fans and horror aficionados who appreciate the film’s audacious extremity and the return of Dieter Laser’s menacing performance. Overall, while the film may appeal to those familiar with and invested in the franchise’s shock-horror style, it has been widely regarded as the weakest installment in the series.
