E.tv continues to set trends for Sunday night movies tonight by bringing us the sequel to last week's poorly received repeat of Anaconda. This Sunday we venture further into the belly of the beast with the imaginatively named Anacondas: Hunt for the Blood Orchid. And in true sequel style, everything is bigger and better. Except the budget.
Whilst the first movie was premised on J-Lo arching her back and pushing her buttocks out of the water like the Loch Ness monster's hump, the sequel instead tries to entertain with an overly serious bulging tattooed hero teasing to rip his shirt off at any second. Gone also is the enjoyable cheesy B-grade dramatics of Jon Voight as the villain. The snake buffet this time around is a forgettable collection of vaguely familiar nobodies, that wade through and eventually get swallowed by the meaningless dialogue, before becoming a low fat snack for hungry CGI snakes.
Anacondas: Hunt for the Blood Orchid lurks on e.tv tonight at 20h00
