Megaboa

Strictly for those die-hards of a disposition to enjoy snake thrills (also some spider thrills). Bigger than Titanoboa, that's a Megaboa! Don't look for subtlety or nuance, just lots of schlock snake fun.

I have built up an imunity or say tolerance to low budget monster movies which paid off big time on this Asylum entry. You have to almost root for the CGI snakes because systematically removing bad actors seems like the right thing. The positive things are: Awesome music score by Mikel Shane Prather and Chris Cano, beautiful scenery and you can see the actors are trying their best with the script. The negative things: Everything else for 90 minutes. I did enjoy Eric Roberts looking on a laptop of drone footage (excellent WiFi in the jungle btw) and stating "that's the biggest snake I ever seen Benji, bigger than a Titanaboa that's the...Megaboa" before calmly sitting back down in his lawn chair as said snake eats his students.

I saw this cos my nephew wanted to watch something with a big snake.

Big mistake. Revisiting Anaconda or any 50s creature films wud have been a better option.

Generous with a 2 cos of Eric Roberts. Just for old times' sake.

This is going to be difficult without using a few choice four letter words, so instead... Do Not Bother. If you decide to venture on in, prepare yourself for a crap ride of bad acting and life choices.

Script: appalling. Plot: unbelievable. Acting: worse than amateurish. 'special' effects: laughable. Suspense and horror: non-existent. Characters: hysterical women trying to be in charge, men clueless as usual in this type of throw-away movie.

An insult to the intelligence. How much longer must we put up with tripe like this?
