Reviews:
“If you know anything about spelunking, nothing is realistically done and there’s way too much light. The one thing this film has going for it is that there’s no CGI effects, but there’s also no characterization, no pacing, some embarrassing dancing and a poor ending.” Down Among the “Z” Movies
“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.” Dr Gore’s Movie Reviews
” …Margaret Cash is quite hot […] Centipede! is an old-fashioned creepy crawler creature feature that should entertain those that can appreciate a fun throwback to the monster movies of the past couple decades. Hey, they even eventually find a way to toss in some good old toxic waste for good measure.” 3 out of 5, Dread Central
“Centipede is a real treat for lovers of trashy B-movies, without any pretence, but rich in clumsy, exaggerated action and overall with the probably weakest dialogue that such a film can have. But anyone who has followed Tremors with enthusiasm will certainly also love this Gieras production.” Power Metal
“Centipede! is a lot of fun and creature f/x are neat.” Zisi Emporium for B Movies
