ANACONDA (2025) Movie Review

PLOT: After one of them unexpectedly acquires the remake rights to 1997’s Anaconda, four childhood friends—who once dreamed of becoming filmmakers—take out a bank loan and head to the Amazon to shoot a shoestring-budget reboot.

I must admit that the concept of this new version of Anaconda struck me as promising. The idea of four childhood friends, now in their late forties and early fifties, heading to the Amazon to shoot a remake of Anaconda of all things seemed just silly enough to be brilliant. While the premise may sound too ridiculous to be believed, there have been fan-directed, shoestring remakes that went viral—the most famous being the unauthorized Raiders of the Lost Ark remake made by a group of kids in the eighties, which later inspired a genuinely touching documentary. The fact that this group chooses to remake Anaconda, one of the silliest horror flicks of the nineties, really tickled me.
