In Anaconda, a documentary film crew led by anthropologist Steven Cale (Eric Stoltz) and director Terri Flores (Jennifer Lopez) enters the mysterious world of the Amazon in search of the legendary Shirishama Indians. Cameraman Danny (Ice Cube) smells trouble when the crew picks up a suspicious passenger-Paul Sarone (Jon Voight), a charismatic loner and "river man" whose professed knowledge of the Shirishama entices the crew. But Sarone's motive for driving the crew deeper into the river is his own dark quest to track a lethal 40-foot Anaconda, and he'll sacrifice anything and anyone to find his adversary. The expedition becomes a jungle nightmare when Sarone leads the crew directly into the jaws of the killer snake and they must use every primal resource just to stay alive.

Critics Consensus: Anaconda's pulpy pleasures are constricted by its own absurdity, but creature feature fans may enjoy its brazen silliness.

Reviews

Film Frenzy

Matt Brunson

Anaconda brandishes its goofiness like a sword, ready to cut down any naysayer who dares utter a derogatory word. Certainly, the daftness is part of the film’s charm, but it can never rise much above the level of a disposable lark.

...a cult monster movie, stands up remarkably well for a killer snake story from years ago, not least because of some killer casting; you wouldn’t get this kind of crew on a monster movie these days...

Vulnerable Man (Medium)

Akos Peterbencze

Anaconda is bonkers (yes), but it's also consistent and cohesive in a self-conscious manner, embracing every ridiculous and over-the-top insanity that made it a cult classic over the years.

This surprise hit is unpretentious and silly; it never forgets what it is – a campy "Jaws" clone.

Anaconda is a skillful if hokey horror movie that will seem both familiar and campy.
