3.0 out of 5 stars Spelunking Bachelor Party?, September 20, 2005

By

This review is from: Centipede (DVD)

A group of friends (or are they) go caving in India as a send-off just before one is to get married. They descend a dangerous cave with the help of a local guide. Once at the bottom they seem to think the best safety measure is to get stoned. Well, one wanders off to answer a call of nature, gets attacked by the title beastie and sets of a cave in that traps the others.

Now the group must find a way out of the cave system while it dawns on them that they are not alone in the dark. Soon it becomes a run for their lives as the giant centipede decides they are the best thing on the menu.

This is not quite a typical stuck with a monster film. There is a little more depth although it can be lost amongst the mediocre acting and bad special effects. The movie opens with some students getting attacked in the cave. Their professor leads a rescue effort when they discover the party in the cave. Nice switching between the effort to escape from within and the effort to rescue from without. A bigger budget could have made for an excellent movie, but it is still fun as is.

2.0 out of 5 stars Sweet Rubber Goodness!, October 4, 2010

By 

Brian Harris "WildsideCinema" (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Centipede (DVD)

Centipede didn't offer much in the way of gore but who cares! We get a real deal rubber centipede instead of a computer graphic and that just made this film for me. The centipede scuttles, hisses, rears up and even swims!! Hooray for Maverick! They could have easily gone the route of CG and bad acting but they choose mediocre acting and an animatronic monster and for that they deserve a round of applause.

One low point of the film for me though was the women. They give us two smoking hotties (Zoe and Sara) who dress in skimpy clothes and even dance around a fire like strippers on a 3 day Meth binge and yet we get no orbs of flesh or naughty parts. Nudity could have only helped the film to be honest. To make matters worse the lead female Sara (Margaret Cash) has big budget looks, porn film goodies and a Betty Boop voice. Ugh! You'll be forced to do nothing but plug your ears and watch her shake. What a goofy film though. Monster enthusiasts will dig this! It's definitely a beer and Cheetos flick so put away the dictionary and cancel your weekly Mensa gathering and switch the brain on autopilot.

3.0 out of 5 stars I found Centipede to be a fun little monster flick, October 28, 2006

By

This review is from: Centipede (DVD)

I'm one of those people who like Grade B horror and sci-fi movies (even Grade Z sometimes) with non-CGI monsters. I think Centipede is actually a pretty good little movie that mixes the old style monster genre with the young-good-looking-twentysomethings in peril plot. I also liked the fact that Centipede was actually shot and is set in a non-typical locale -- the country of India. To me, it was a lot more fun to watch than the recent spate of cartoony CGI monster movies or indie sadist killer horror movies. If you enjoy the old style monster movies from the 50s and 60s like me, you might enjoy watching Centipede. I did.
