				"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.
