2/10
If you thought the first anaconda movie was bad, this is worse

Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004) is a movie I recently rewatched and is available on Prime. The storyline follows a group of scientists sent into the jungle to recover an orchid that blooms rarely that they believe can be a cure for many things including extending life. They find their expedition will be filled with arguments and man eating snakes. This movie is directed by Dwight H. Little (Murder at 1600) and stars Morris Chestnut (Under Siege 2), KaDee Strickland (The Grudge), Eugene Byrd (Dead Man), Johnny Messner (Tears of the Sun) and Andy Anderson (House of Wax). There's no redeeming qualities to this film. The casting seems out of place and doesn't seem to match the characters and the storyline. The writing is bad and the dialgue is often awkward and uneven. The special effects and CGI is too much and painful to watch at times, like a video game cutaway scene in the middle of the movie. If you thought the first anaconda movie was bad, this is worse. I'd recommend skipping this and would score it a 2/10.
