Simply Perfect

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

This is not has scary as the original Anaconda. Anacondas is also scarier. Anaconda III is also scarier. But still this a very scary movie. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. If this movie does not scary you then no movie will. This movie is very intense. Mad scientist free a giant Anacondas .Some people are trying to kill the giant snakes. Very scary. Crystal Allen is a great actress. Linden A.s.h.b.y is a great actor. Danny Midwinter is a great actor. C.a.l.i.n S.t.a.n.c.i.u is great actor. Ana U.l.a.r.u is a great actress. C.l.a.u.d.i.u B.l.e..o.n.t is a great actor. This movie is very intense. Warning do not watch this movie alone.

They insist on making this trash don't they? One crappy snake movie after another and none of them make any sense. This 90 minute nightmare picks up where the previous Hasselhoff led nightmare left off. A scientist has been commissioned by a millionaire to develop a serum from the blood orchid to try and cure his bone cancer. While the scientist is out inspecting his orchids, a large anaconda in his lab suddenly breaks out of its enclosure, tracks him down and does what every homicidal CGI snake does best. After losing contact with his scientist, the millionaire, played by John Rhys Davies, believes that this guy may have received a better offer so rather than waste any time on common sense to at least check on him, he instead hires a hit-man to finish him off along with some other girl that he's been associated with. And that's pretty much the whole stupid story, such as it is. The serum has remarkable regenerative capabilities as even cutting the head off a snake won't kill it for long as after injecting the serum it will enable the snake to grow a new one. That sound you can hear is the pitiless laughter of every geneticist in the world.And just when you think that this non-story can't possibly get any worse, it suddenly does. I won't bore you with the finite details of what every single idiot ends up doing when in the presence of a large snake done in bad CGI, but I will say that if you wildly fire a machine gun from side-to-side when the snake is directly in front of you then quite frankly you deserve to die.I don't know why they continue wasting money in making crap like this and in every movie I've ever seen that has a larger than life snake in it, they just can't manage to make this thing look lifelike. If they can make animals that have been extinct for millions of years look lifelike, then it stands to reason that you can do that for a snake too right? Wrong obviously. Remember the large snake in the original Conan the Barbarian movie? That was more lifelike than this nonsense. You'd think that in almost 30 years it'd be perfected.This flick is just bad in every sense of the word. Despite the first anaconda movie being as pathetic as it is, it shines like a beacon when compared to this disaster. Anaconda 4 features lots of running, lots of bad driving, lots of arguing and an annoying number of people that just can't shoot straight. That is until you want to hit a fuel can embedded in a snakes mouth a 100 feet away, then after 2 shots you'll be dead on.I caught this on late night TV and I still feel ripped off. I'm still trying to work out how a giant snake can't manage to outrun a guy stumbling over uneven ground, but it's somehow fast enough to catch up to a speeding car travelling on a sealed road. If someone who actually wrote the screenplay for this can answer that then I'd appreciate it.

ANACONDA III: OFFSPRING was a surprisingly entertaining little B-movie sequel, packed with cheesy actors, silly dialogue and gobs of gratuitous gore which went a long way into making it a passable piece of fun. Sadly, ANACONDA 4: TRAIL OF BLOOD seems to have forgotten all of the lessons of his predecessor (with which it was shot back-to-back). It's like somebody took the third film and sucked all the life and fun out of it, leaving this a dessicated husk of a film.Much of the fun from the last instalment came about due to David Hasselhoff's unlikely turn as a big game hunter, but there's no such luminary here, apart from one-time action man Linden Ashby. Ashby is woodenly horrible, while returning female lead Crystal Allen seems to have exhausted her acting repertoire in the last movie leaving her lifeless. Still, at least John Rhys-Davies is back, albeit in a cameo which nicely ties up the fate of his stock mad scientist type character.The plot is slimmer than ever, featuring various good guys and bad guys hunting for a genetically modified super-snake which kills off various "redshirt" characters throughout. Sadly, much of the last film's gore quotient is gone, replaced here with B-movie level incident that just isn't on the same scale. Meanwhile, the special effects are pretty bad. About the only superior thing ANACONDA 4 has compared to number three is that the human villains are more interesting, but it's not enough to make this one work.

seriously though, it should, after all its no mean feat for a limbless reptile to out run a jeep! because in this pathetic excuse of a movie that is exactly what happens! the anaconda also seemed to have an in built sensor to detect dumb humans since where ever they are..the snake just magically turns up to wreak havoc. and to top it off the "anaconda" doesn't even look like one,has the director not seen the 1st two films? or at least googled an anaconda before making this film? evidently not! add that to an appalling script, bad editing,boring and underdeveloped characters,rubbish CGI and virtually no story and you have..well..Anaconda 4!! what was really hilarious though were the death scenes..o my gosh! the reaction of trained assassins when confronted with a 90ft snake is to shoot into the air(even though the snake is about 3ft away) and scream..then die,since killing the damn thing would have been too clever. what i also do not understand is how every character can "hear" the snake arriving at some point in the film even though no sound is audible on screen and see the snake and do nothing about it! so overall this film was a great let down, an embarrassing pile of trash that fails by far to emulate the excellent first two movies. frankly counting each blade of grass on my lawn would have been more exciting than this film
