For those who like horror-thrillers set in jungles with snakes hissing away and ssssspecial effects of that kind, this version of Anacondas should be right up your street. There are some who will say it is not as good as the first version, but as long as the producers, the distributors and exhibitors laugh all the way to the bank, they may not care too much.
Even for those who make the jungle their home, no human or creature is safe from it. So, for visitors who wish to plunder this terrain's secrets, the consequences won't be pretty...
Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid is a horror-thriller set deep in a primitive Borneo jungle, where an extremely rare red orchid - the blood orchid - may hold the key to producing a youth-preserving serum. When a gung-ho group of scientists embarks on a treacherous journey into the jungle to find the orchid - in the hope that a fountain-of-youth discovery will make their careers and their corporate bosses a lot of money - they quickly realise that more than bad weather and heavy undergrowth separate them from their treasure.
Within the mysteries of the jungle lies a deadly predator that keeps the secret of the orchids safe and stops anyone who dares to enter its territory from leaving…
