Losing their way in the Amazon's large jungle, a documentary crew ' National Geographic' meet a strange man, the thing that brings terrible for them, as they have been captured by that mad man, as he forces them to help him, hunting the largest and biggest dangerous kinds of snakes, Anaconda.
A trashily entertaining reptilian version of Jaws set in the steaming heart of the Amazon rain forest.

In its natural habitat, Anaconda can be appreciated for its campy pleasures, not the least of which is Jon Voight in a delirious, balls-out performance as creepy Paraguayan snake poacher Paul Serone. [Blu-ray]
Just to show, early on, how much danger these folks are in, we get to see the film's titular star squeeze a black panther so tight that one of its eyeballs pops out.
Anaconda, directed by Luis Llosa with all of the subtlety of a snake-oil salesman, is in the great tradition of cinematic cheese, as processed as Kraft Singles slices.
