Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
onosideboard I always have a bit of a dilemma when rating a movie like this. Do I rate it based on the actual quality of the movie, or the amount of fun I had watching it? Suffice to say, I went with the latter option on this one.If you're a fan of "so bad it's good," this movie is for you. It is fast-paced enough, has enough characters, and enough bad dialogue to hold your attention rather than just being boring.Production value is slightly below that of the average Sci-Fi channel movie. The CGI effects are terrible. I think the casting director (probably the same person as the writer and director) would have ended up with better acting had he just randomly cast the parts from people on the street. In my opinion, the best performance was put in by the guy who's character was brain-damaged by a bad acid trip.Add to that a preposterous premise, an invincible bug-monster, and a lot of unlikeable characters for fodder, and you've got a rockin'' good time with a six-pack and some friends.My only complaint: not enough blood.
ghoulieguru When the title came up on the screen, it actually had an exclamation point after it... CENTIPEDE! Like a musical. Come to think of it, this movie might have been better if it had a couple of snappy musical numbers in it. It makes you wonder if they were going for that self-referencing Sci-Fi PG-13 funny/scary movie thing that Blue Devil, Monster Island and Bite Me! have captured so effectively. A bunch of spelunkers go to India to explore a creepy cave before one of them goes off to get married. Like a bachelor party in a cave or something like that. They are attacked by giant latex centipede puppets. The end. Not much to recommend here, boils and ghouls, except for one truly bizarre moment. So, this Indian guide leads our heroes down into the cave, and they all decide to have a party while their in the bowels of the earth. We find out through some really unsubtle exposition that the soon-to-be-married guy used to have a thing with one of the other girls on the trip. There's supposed sexual tension between them as they try to ignore each other. I guess this girl was supposed to be sultry and sexy and mysterious. I thought she was kinda Plain Jane, but maybe the director was dating her or something. We'll call her CC (Casting Couch) for short, because I can't remember her character's name.While they're all partying down in the caves, someone turns on a radio and some of them start dancing. Really awkward, watching all these actors trying to pretend like they are having fun. It's a cringe-fest. But then they all start looking at CC and chanting, "Do the dance. Do the dance." She coyly shakes her head. I was watching it thinking that this must be why they cast her, maybe she can do some freakish thing like wrap her legs around her head and dance like that. So this big build-up around the DANCE, and when she finally gets up and does it... it's like this White Girl Cabbage Patch thing that, quite literally, gave me a stabbing pain in my stomach. It was a NAPOLEON DYNAMITE moment. I watched her do the DANCE like five times in a row. It was crazy. I wanted to vomit. That's why I say maybe they should have kept the exclamation point at the end of the title and made this movie into some weird kind of horror/musical.
geovoice I've seen many monster films over the years, but this doesn't even qualify as a monster film to me...because the "monsters" look more like bad hand puppets than anything else. I guess it would work if the cast didn't seem so wooden, and the premise, although moderately interesting, just doesn't work to well for me. I think the funniest thing about this film, in my honest opinion, is that this is a "horror" film made in India; I just hope this doesn't set the tone for any other films from that country...Don't waste any money...Oh, and SCIFI channel REALLY needs to get better filler, too...
Tommy This was on the Sci-fi channel, on a Saturday night (11/7/04), at 9 p.m. What a waste of prime-time real estate. I'd thought they had dusted off and aired just about every horribly movie ever made, but this one was a new one to me. It was so terrible that any negative adjective would adequately describe this mess. Do not watch it, don't rent it, email Sci-fi channel for even airing it, and consider yourself lucky if you missed it. Possibly the worst character development, acting, dialogue, and plot devices ever used on an audience. I can't even compare it to another movie because it was so dreadful. Trust me that I'm being nice because of the IMDb filters with certain words. It was like a car wreck that you just can't take your eyes off of; which I should have, but I wanted to be able to say that at least I saw it in full.
