Exactly! Not having seen the film (yet? Or will I?), I've no idea if any motivation is given for the mad scientist's centipedey experiment, but reviews lead me to believe there isn't any. He just does it because it's required of him by the script. I can forgive a lot in schlocky horror films, but poor characterisation in a film that surely must rely on good characterisation to create any suspension of disbelief on the part of the audience is unforgiveable.
Or maybe the director really is just trying to gross out as many people as possible, so the "why" doesn't matter as much as the "what." Argh! I am so going to end up watching this film so I can have a proper opinion on it, I just feel it.
