"Human Centipede 3," the oft-parodied horror franchise that derives its shock value from the perverse and ever-expanding, well, human centipede, has lent itself some credibility, casting "The Dark Knight Rises" star and Oscar nominee Eric Roberts, reports Entertainment Weekly.
Six has said of the third "Centipede" installment that it will make its prequel -- which was originally banned both in Britain and Australia-- "look like a Disney film." (It is worth noting that "Human Centipede 2" made the shortlist for the Razzies award for worst movie in 2011).
