Have to put in my 2 centipedes worth. I am extremely disappointed in humanity, after seeing this movie. THE CENTIPEDE HORROR (not some other unknown movie some of these reviews are mistakenly for). I got this shocker - or schlocker - based on the many reviews - even apparently Mr Maltin's - like the most horrific and disturbing film made.
What are you? Children? Lol. The incredible film that drove people to the edge of sanity for life is like the Monty Python joke that kills. It just can't be. I should have guessed it was too bad to be true. Or just another marketing ploy from the filmmaker's family and friends, mwaha.
Much worse things are on Fear Factor. I just do nut understand how this almost makes people psychotic, unless viewed by people already in a mental home (I'm gonna get a few good negative points for that!)
*SPOILER*
The unwatchable ending is a minute or so where four live centipedes crawl out a girl's mouth. A second shot she appears to vomit live ones, as the camera pans down to live ones on the floor. I think they would have been just in her mouth.
There is no transformation into another being, and centipedes don't eat people. They come out of people, lol. The one other time was from a wound. The transformation? What, where the cursed girl got a mild case of sores the doctor said was like radiation poisoning, but not serious, and then she died?
*SPOILER END*
The Excorcism of Emily Rose at least DID have some real scares! And that is a miracle (hah, that's punny). HOSTEL, Texas CHAINSAW, ETC, all had some degree of fright. This film didn't raise an eyebrow hair for me. The only dreadful thing was the empty boredom yet another film made me suffer.
And the film didn't even feel like horror. More mellow drama, ending more like a Hong Kong fantasy film, where anything goes over the top, in the duel of the sorcerers. and is quite weird. Certainly not real. There's curses, counter curses, and priests-a-plenty. A centipede curse, a sound or voice curse.... a not knowing when to cut the scene curse. Some of that stuff was almost engaging.
It was barely about centipedes. After their first appearance early on for a minute, you don't see them til the end when you get the obligatory floor full - and mouth full.
Now remember, I want at least 19 negative points please, and zero helpful ones.
I'm only really, REALLY jealous of those people who went mad.
