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]

A silly and plodding Jaws rip-off about a 40-foot man-eating snake on the prowl in the Brazilian rain forest.

A trashily entertaining reptilian version of Jaws set in the steaming heart of the Amazon rain forest.

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.

One never questions the realism of the remarkable animatronic and computer-generated effects, but it's hard to credit a snake that screams.

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.

Luis Llosa's Anaconda is great "B" movie trash, complete with bad special effects and cheesy monsters.

Anaconda is such a classic combination of feckless dramaturgy and rampant excess that giving way to giggles is the only sane response.

Anaconda is about a snake that eats everybody. That about says it all.
