Anaconda 4: Trail of Blood (2009)

A genetically created Anaconda created in a lab out in the middle of the jungle is cut in half and regenerates into two aggressive giant snakes due to some blood orchid while a mob boss named Murdoch (John Rhys-Davies) is greedy to get this blood orchid since it offers great power so he sends out his troops led by a head renegade named Eugene (Emil Hostina) to set out and kill anyone protecting this.
Meanwhile some travellers are stopped in the jungle and are chased by these giant serpeants and then held hostage later on by Eugene and his goons but they all have a bigger problem as these snakes go to their hideout eating them one by one.

This was the worst one to date and hopefully the last one lacking the anaconda's attacking as they hardly show up at all.
There's of course the typical bad guy attacks and some corpses too but by all means this film will not make you jump out of your seat like in the first one and the effects are terrible.
The story itself is very slow and you wonder what we're going to get out of all this. Well almost nothing as it picks up a bit quarter way through with the villains holding the innocent one's in their shacks until their mob boss shows up. Whoa big deal.
There's good locations though with the tall trees in the woods but this is about the only attraction you will get my friends.

The acting is in fair shape as lead actress Crystal Allen shows great aggression and tons of energy too playing the right heroic type in the film. She doesn't seem to lack her performance too much at all.
Linden Ashby was another terrific performer who was very in your face with what he had to do and was great showing his anger and violent behavior when he needed to do so. He was indeed a character actor and the best actor without a doubt.
Ana Ularu seemed to grab my attention as well playing the girlfriend showing a nice mellowness to her part along with her jumping reactions too when something suspenseful happens.
Emil Hostina really portrayed his cold blooded and bad ass attitude nicely and knew how to act violent and use his gun on people if anyone messed with him. A true renegade this fellow was.
John Rhys-Davies was unforgettable as the head mobster in the film even if this film was forgettable itself using his slick words coming out like this fellow is bad news and not a sane person to be around at all.

We spot a headless corpse
A person's arm is bitten off by an anaconda
An anaconda bites a person's head off

The directing by Don E. Flaunt is more slow than the previous film as it really doesn't pick up till quarter way though.
There's a good dialogue however between John Rhys-Davies and Emil Hostina on their plans to do a deadly deed where an anaconda is.
There's some good shots on Crystal Allen and Calin Stanciu running from an anaconda in an underground area.
There's some descent shots on the cast running through the woods.
There's a good shocked reaction on Linden Ashby after spotting some corpses and does well with his emotions while doing this.
There's a good distant shot on both Rhys-Davies and Hostina running away from an anaconda with the rest of the cast trying to do something about it along with Alexandru Potocean going crazy shooting his gun towards this serpeant.
We spot a nice dialogue between Ashby and Ana Ularu along with a good camera shot on an anaconda staring at them and then Ularu reacting to some sort of a bite.
We have a good painful reaction on Ularu while getting surgery to her bite.
There's a good invasion scene with Hostina getting aggressive towards everyone along with a good moment on Anca-Ioana Androne trying to run away and Hostina gunning her down. We spot a good slow motion close up shot on her falling down. Ashby does well freaking out on all of this.
We have a good battle with Ashby against supporting actor David Frye with a good camera shot looking up on him while he is punching him as well as Hostina shooting him. Then we have a nice close up shot on Allen shooting two guns at Frye with good reactions on him.
There's a good moment with people like Allen and Ashby in a jeep panicking while Hostina tries to hitch a ride and there's struggling moments with all of this.
There's a good shot on Rhys-Davies injecting himself with the orchid and then laughing insanely spinning around with the camera circling him as well.
Oh we have some cheesy special effects with the anaconda slithering through the woods as well as attacking it's prey too in many spots as it looks a bit contrived. This is about it folks.

The music is composed by Peter Meisner as he composes some nice screeching effects along with the odd clanging and good classical music which seems to work for the plot.
