Centipede (2004)

Campy Creature Feature

I liked this campy sci fi creature feature about a group of explorers trapped in the depths of a cave in India. It was fun and unpredictable with a satisfying ending. The location was interesting and, while the creature was a bit retro, it worked for this film. I would recommend "Centipede" to anyone who loves this genre. August 13, 2008

I found Centipede to be a fun little monster flick

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. October 29, 2006

It's ok.

A group of friends go check out a cave in India before one of them gets married. Unfortunatly, they get trapped inside with a giant killer centipede. The bad writing, acting, and special effects might put you off, but there's still a little bit of fun to be had with this one. Rent it if you really want to see it. February 16, 2006

Lots of legs. No plot. Dude.

I know what you're thinking. "Wow! They made a movie version of the hit arcade game!" Well...OK maybe you're NOT thinking that, but believe me that's a far cooler idea than what we got here.

A bunch of young adults go spelunking in India - don't ask how a group of young people could afford the trip, and don't ask why India looks like southern California - and proceed to drink beer, listen to loud music, and pee on the walls before a giant centipede comes and attacks them. I have to side with the centipede here: imagine you're sitting at home watching TV when some guy walks in, unzips his pants, and proceeds to pee on the wall. How would you feel? If you had mandibles of doom you'd kill him too right?

Lot's of people die. To be honest I really didn't care, because I could've cared less about these characters. They might as well have been called "Generic Teenager #1," "Generic Teenager #2," and so on. Plus they're to blame for emoting the terrible lines from the script. By the way, you know that story about how Hugh Jackman started adding "Bub" to his "X-Men" dialogue? Something similar must've been done here because the characters throw the word "dude" around so much it deserves it's own drinking game.

"Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this sun of York, dude."

Don't watch. If you decide to any way, enjoy Las Vegas, India as well a cheap centipede mannequin that gets dragged around the set by gaffers. Dude. January 8, 2006

Ive seen worse.

Im a sucker for monster movies...and this one is not too bad.
The only reason it gets a 3 star its because of the caving scencery.
Caves are great for monster movies...too bad you have a bunch of
silly humans bringing down the movie...but its not that bad, most
acting is pretty fair to good, and the monster is not too bad either. A bigger budget would have improve the situation..but its
certainly worth a viewing.... December 29, 2005
