Thanks to its outrageous concept, The Human Centipede garnered a lot of buzz last year (continuing even through this season’s premiere of South Park, “Human CentiPad,” just a few weeks ago), but those who’ve watched the movie can attest that its treatment of the subject matter is actually quite restrained and non-explicit for a genre film. However, such appears not to be the case with the upcoming sequel, The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence), as it has just been effectively banned in the UK.

Originally slated for an October 19 release, Kevin Smith’s “extreme fundamentalism” thriller Red State is abandoning the Halloween season for Labor Day. Presumably this means it will open on the Friday before Labor Day (September 2), although with Smith’s unorthodox release approach, he may very well opt to open on Labor Day itself (September 5). Either way, it’s good news for those who weren’t able to catch the film during its travelling road show this past spring.
