The Human Centipede creator made another horror in 2020 but he's been unable to release it

Sometimes a film just sticks with you. Maybe you’ve just never gotten over the death of Marley in Marley & Me, or perhaps there’s a joke from a movie that still has you cracking up randomly.

And, in a darker way, there could be those horror films that you can’t shake out of your nightmares.

There’s plenty of scary flicks that still dominate conversations for being the weirdest but one of the most infamous, disturbing ones just has to be The Human Centipede.

People are still obsessed with the ways the wild 2009 film was made, well over a decade later. But while you might think the ‘vile’ film franchise about humans being surgically conjoined was mad enough, the creator has another recent horror.

However, Tom Six has been unable to release his 2020 film, with fans doubting we’ll ever get to see it.

The film in question is the rather bizarre-sounding The Onania Club, which has a 100 percent score on the Rotten Tomatoes’ Tomatometer thanks to the five critics who did get to see it.

Yeah, that trailer looks pretty weird, right?

The film follows Hanna as she secretly joins a group called The Onania Club.

Here, the ‘strong independent L.A. women’ essentially get off on the torture, pain and death of others. And in the trailer, they’re seen to be, well, pleasing themselves while people are suffering.

But as the film goes on, ‘Hanna meets more misery than she could ever hope for and in the process loses everything she cares for’.

So, yeah, a horror film about women w**king over people’s suffering basically.

And while the film wrapped years ago, Hollywood in Toto say Six had been unable to ‘find a distributor to bring it to the public’.

This is despite film critics really rating the film and seeing it as a display of ‘our need to see others suffer’.

Users on Reddit say they ‘even petitioned many distributors to pick this up’ as one wrote: “It’s so weird that the world where we get two [three] Human Centipede movies this one is too controversial to release.”

And another put: “As soon as I read the premise, I wanted to see it,” with others agreeing: “Same, the second the trailer came out I was hooked.”

But many have given up hope it will ever be released as critics on Rotten Tomatoes say it: “Leaves us unsure whether we are meant to be excited or appalled by all the film's controversy-courting comings and goings.”
