Overview
The blood orchid - a rare flower that could hold the secret of eternal life and be worth a fortune to the company that finds it first. Led by a pharmaceutical research team, a scientific expedition sets out to go and explore deep into the jungles of Borneo to locate and bring back samples of the legendary plant. Battling through rainstorms to make their way upriver, the group encounters poisonous insects and a ferocious crocodile, only to discover they’re being stalked by an even greater danger: a gathering of giant anacondas. Heat-sensing, fifty-foot-long flesh eaters that will go after anyone that crosses in their path.

Viewing Notes
via Netflix
Led by a two-fisted soldier of fortune, a scientific expedition is sent deep into the jungles of Borneo to locate and bring back samples of the legendary blood orchid. Battling their way upriver, the explorers brave poisonous insects, ferocious crocodiles and savage headhunters, unaware they’re being stalked by an even greater danger: a nest of giant anacondas, voracious, fifty-foot-long flesh-eaters who’ll stop at nothing to protect their breeding ground, the blood orchid’s home. There were actually a few characters I cared about in this, which surprised me from how jerk like most of them were at the start. The effects aren’t great, the story is ok, and the acting is kind of all over the place. It was a fun watch, but not sure it’s worth more than just a one time viewing off Netflix.
