I agree fully.
The First Human Centipede movie was very "classic horror". 2 Girls lost in the woods, stumble upon a house with a crazy doctor in it. It was an ok movie but not very remarkable. Not much gore, not much horror, just a sick idea.
Human Centipede 2 on the other hand, Holy fucking shit was it ever good. I can't get over what a good movie it was.
First, I hate "torture porn". Eli Roth's "Hostel" for example was terrible. It was torture for torture's sake, violent for no reason either, and a crappy movie overall.
Human Centipede 2 was great because first the main actor was brilliant. It was scary and creepy and ugly and unashamed. His relationship with his mother and his doctor are disturbing, but you have to listen carefully and pay really close attention to know just how disturbing. The lady who plays his Mom is also great.
The movie is shown in black and white which makes it even better. According to IMDB, it was shot in color but switched to black and white during post production because the director, Tom Six, saw a scene of his movie by accident and B&W and decided the whole movie should be that way. Great choice. Great freakin' choice.
Of course there is a crazy amount of extremely disturbing scenes and I actually had to stop watching it the first time I saw it because 1 scene just ... just.. wow. And now even though I've seen the movie several times, I still have to look away.
There is a great "behind the scenes" featurette about HC2 on Youtube, but I encourage you to watch it only after you have seen the movie. It will help settle your nerves.
Anyway, HC3 looks pretty awesome and I will definitely watch it.
