"They strike, wrap around you. Hold you tighter than your true love. And you get the privilege, of hearing your bones break before the power of embrace causes your veins to explode." - Paul Serone

Why watch this? I have to admit, this giant snake IS menacing!

Plot Summary: A "National Geographic" film crew travels down the Amazon River to film a documentary about a secluded native tribe. They encounter and assist a stranded snake hunter, Paul Serone, who claims he can help them find the tribe. However, he has a hidden agenda, forcing the crew to join his dangerous pursuit of a colossal, legendary anaconda.

Dad's Preview: This film combines a over-sized, murderous snake; and some of the most over-the-top performances on screen. This combo helps take an outrageous premise to a watch-able level. This flick quickly devolves into a "can't wait to see the next person get it"-fest. We also find ourselves waiting for the next uttered line from Jon Voight, who is channeling Bobby de Niro in the worst possible way. Bad as it can be, it's still good midnight-movie fare.
