Anaconda: Walmart Exclusive Steelbook Review

There is something unsettling to many people about snakes! Is it that they can move so fast without legs? It is that they can climb trees without hands? Who knows, but one thing is for sure they are a mysterious creature!

Now it's bad enough if they are small, but when they are monstrously big, we have a problem! Mill Creek Entertainment has joined forces with Walmart to tap into many humans fears by releasing Jennifer Lopez and Ice Cube in the creature feature Anaconda on Walmart Exclusive Steelbook!

The film follows a documentary crew traveling through the Amazon jungle. They pick up a stranded man, that sounds fine doesn’t it? Yeah until they find out that the stranger’s hobby is capturing the giant Anacondas, and plans to continue by using their boat, by any means necessary.

The story is not intended to be a horrifying film it’s a "B movie". The special effects are not amazing, they are cheesy. Which some people love that cheesy goodness. So, if you just sit back and enjoy the craziness, you’ll find yourself really enjoying the fun! Jenifer Lopez, Ice Cube and Jon Voight are really good in this film. It's still a lot of fun to watch even over 20 years later!

It was considered one of "The 100 Most Enjoyable Bad Movies Ever Made", by John Wilson on The Official Razzie Movie Guide. Also, Roger Ebert called this film, "A slick, scary funny creature feature, beautifully photographed and splendidly acted in high adventure style."

Now for the Steelbook release! The film has been transferred in 1080p in 2.40:1 aspect ratio. The audio is a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1. There is also the option for English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing. The film looks and sounds amazing. The picture is sharp and the audio is clear. This is a really nice copy of the film.

In addition to a nice-looking copy of the film. There is a bonus feature, There's A Devil Inside Everyone: Directing Anaconda - A New Interview with director Luis Llosa. This Steelbook really is a piece of art. The front features the evil eyes of the anaconda and the back cover shows Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube and Jon Voight. Then the inside shows a river scene with the boat floating on it!

Now while Anaconda may not be the greatest creature feature ever produced, it is a pretty fun little feature. And if you appreciate the beauty of a Steelbook as much as I do, this release of Anaconda is one you will want for your collection. 

So if you love your horror films cheesy scary this creature feature is the one for you! Head over to www.Walmart.com and find out how you can get your copy today!
