You won't be disappointed!

From my favorite movies..

Don't listen to the negative reviews

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

OK, OK - I'm an idiot. I should have known that any movie requiring punctuation in its title (i.e. !) is of questionable quality. It is clear that the writer, one Mr. Gregory Gieras, spent minutes upon minutes researching the means and methods used by cavers. This becomes apparent the moment the soon-to-be Purina Bug Chow enter the cave. Sara and David take a full 3 seconds to tie off their belay lines and then "jump" into the abyss - hardly a method one would expect of prudent cavers. And the dialog was priceless. "Dirk, Sara, Owen, you guys go north. Jake, Zoe, and I will head south. Look for an up-shaft. Copy?" Copy? Copy?! Did he actually say, copy? Is David a wanna-be astronaut? What a hoot. But they did find a shaft . . . and the audience got it. The funniest part of the movie was the final scene when the caving "experts" turn out to be explosives "experts" as well. Caves and explosives - I wish they'd offered these classes at my school.I just have to ask; Did the actors do their own climbing, or did the climbers do their own acting? It's hard to tell.If you have an hour or two to kill you might consider watching this or you could do something really entertaining like conducting evolution experiments in your refrigerator.

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*If there's one thing the world needs more of, it's killer centipede movies. In fact, I think "Centipede" is the first killer centipede movie ever made. I have seen all kinds of giant animals rampage on unsuspecting fools. Lions, bears, sharks, eels, rats, hogs, dogs, have all attacked humans at some point. So I was filled with great joy when I saw "Centipede" sitting on the shelf. I had to rent it immediately.Well, like most B-movies, the concept is great but the movie is lacking. The centipede did not fill me with dread. It looked like a cardboard beast with some spray paint. At no point did I even remotely believe that the centipede was alive and attacking people. I understand the concept of suspension of disbelief but come on.Another problem was the lack of lighting. Even if I wanted to see the cardboard monster, I couldn't make him out because a lot of the movie was shot in the dark. The characters are stuck in a cave in India with an angry centipede. The beast likes to strike in the dark. He's shy around cameras. The buddies try to out run the monster while the Indian police plan to blow it up. Plenty of cardboard monster attacks follow."Centipede" is too cheap and too cheesy. It's also PG-13 so that should give you an idea on the violence level or lack thereof. The ex-girlfriend was hot and can really stretch her legs but other than that there's nothing much here to recommend.

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...

From the other reviews one would think this movie was noticeably worse than the usual Sci-Fi Channel fare. I don't think that's the case. This was pretty average for one of their movies. I'd say it was quite a bit better than Gargoyles or Raptor Island for instance.A group of college kids go exploring a cave in India and are attacked by giant centipedes. Yes, the centipedes are pretty bad. If you're making a movie called Centipede! then you really need to spend at least SOME of the budget on the centipede. Maybe they could have even looked in a book and seen pictures of centipedes, and then made a cool animatronic model of a really wicked looking one. What we get looks more like a grub worm with caterpillar legs. As far as the characters, I didn't think they were too bad. The lead female is very nice to look at, and she falls in the dirt a lot and gets her well-filled-out T-shirt very dirty, and then of course she falls in the water. The rest of the cast was fairly average, or even above average for one of these movies. I didn't find anyone especially unlikable, which is rare for a Sci-Fi Channel movie. They usually like to make the main character really obnoxious for some reason. There was actually an average amount of chemistry between the characters, and some interesting interactions.The plot moved along okay. It progressed logically from point A to point B etc., and I thought it was interesting enough to sit through.Overall, I'd say this was one of the better offerings from the Sci-Fi Channel. I wasn't cheering when the characters got killed like I usually am with their movies.
