trashgang I've been hunting this one for years, I mean, the real stuff. It's easy to obtain as a download but I wanted the VHS. It never had a proper release and is only available on Japanese VHS. Even then it's hard to find and when you do you will have to pay over 100$ or more. Was it worth that hard earned cash, because some love it but most of the geeks hate it. Luckily I didn't hate it. It wasn't that gory as I expected but still it do delivers. First of all what I was surprised of was that it had some full frontal nudity without the blurred pubic hair so typical for Japanese flicks. It is offending in their believe to show the genitals. But here they were all in tact. The centipede's do attack and there were no effects used, it was the real stuff. Real animals were used and by saying that there is even some animal cruelty by skinning a chicken alive, once done she's decapitated so for animal lovers, leave this flick on the shelves. If you can't take flicks about wizards and voodoo stuff or doesn't really like Eastern flicks again don't watch it. Some scene's are indeed not for the squeamish, for example the vomiting scene's were a girls vomits centipedes who are alive. Nevertheless, strange flick, glad I found it finally after years of searching. And some effects are indeed passé but don't be annoyed by that. Low on gore or blood but high on weirdness.
Indyrod I have no idea why this movie has been advertised as one of the most gruesome and frightening Asian movies you will ever see. That is flatout a bunch of bullshit. Unless of course, you are mortally frightened by seeing a few big ass centipedes. The plot, A crazed evil wizard uses his powers to take revenge on beautiful women by making them vomit up live centipedes, which then proceed to eat their victims. That's the tagline, but to be honest, that is exaggerated way way beyond what is actually going on in this boring ass movie. The people that call this one of the most disturbing movies they have ever seen, have not seen anywhere close to the movies I have seen, especially from Asia. Big disappointment, and I can't recommend this very silly stupid movie to anybody, especially gorehounds. Be glad this is not available on commercial DVD, because you might be more tempted to buy it. So the final word on "Centipede Horror" is AVOID.....
superman1 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.
Mahatma Fabrizi I write this comment almost 12 days after watching this movie and still there is a sense of discomfort about this movie, when I think of the way it ended. Very frankly "Centipede Horror" freaked me out. Seen a lot of Din Long Lee (Hong Kong Police Madame 3) vehicles, but this one, Dang!!!! really put me off. First of all the movie is paced so slowly that it kinds of puts off track and then last 30 minutes just blows you off, with a last few scenes taking the cake. This in no way can be described as a family picture, rather, it is a movie for psychos whose time might be better spent getting their noggins looked at. With decent acting from all of them. I give this one nevertheless a 0/10 just for sheer bad vibes...Steer clear.
