Megaboa

Terrible acting, casting, directing and script but the worst was the 1970"s cartoon quality special affects of a 200+ foot snake with all the actors claiming it was "50 to 60 feet". You could make a better jungle thriller with actual college students in a park with a rubber snake and filmed on iphones. Probably the only redeeming quality of this film is the great drone shots of bare wilderness but you can easily skip through this one in under 10 minutes without missing any plot or thrills.

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.

"Megaboa" only eats males?

Is that the influence of left wing culture, or the producers weren't able to hire a female performer willing to get eaten by the CGI ?

And if your reading reviews on this, yeah, standard Asylum quality, but hey, the dialog is clean, no Nolan Mumblecore here, just screams and squeals between the exposition.

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?

I was able to watch until the Boa showed up for the first time and then I realized how bad it´s gonna be. Fastforwarded the rest of the movie to see if it got any better but it did not. The only scary part about this movie is the question how there is money/financing to make this kind of productions??
