Anaconda

A 'National Geographic' film crew is taken hostage by an insane hunter, who takes them along on his quest to capture the world's largest — and deadliest — snake.

Critics were largely dismissive on release, citing cheap effects and a thin script, though the film has since found a devoted cult audience who embrace it as gleefully trashy entertainment. The central divide was whether the film's campy absurdity was an embarrassing flaw or a feature — Roger Ebert famously championed it while most others did not.
