Anaconda (1997)
Country: US
Technical: col/Panavision 89m
Director: Luis Llosa
Cast: Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube, Jon Voight, Eric Stoltz, Jonathan Hyde
Synopsis:
A documentary film unit on its way to capture images of a lost Amazonian tribe is first host to, then hijacked by, a dangerous snake hunter after a lethal giant anaconda.
Review:
The kind of horror/adventure pic that Corman used to put out, now so formulaic as to be almost endearing, the order of demise of the beleaguered characters following a time-honoured hierarchy which would sound both racist and sexist were it to be delineated here. Voight leers his way through the proceedings, looking for everything as though he has spent the intervening years among the backwoods men of Deliverance, and Ice Cube's cult status saves him from being snake bait; the latter is so clearly an impressive computer creation as to be as convincing as a cartoon character.
