Why We Rated This off for Ages 14 and Under

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    In the beginning, almost every character is obsessed with money and the idea of becoming a billionaire.
  • Violence:

    Many extremely tense scenes. There's a scene of a dead snake that has been sliced open in the mid-section of its body. In this open section is a human corpse hanging out, covered with blood, flies, and the like.
  • Sex:

    A couple of shots of a male's bare chest, a reference to a boat as "ugly, but she puts out" and references to having a one night stand.
  • Language:

    Some strong language.
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    A bar scene in which a couple of characters drink and smoke.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid

Parents need to know that this movie is filled with nightmare material for kids -- the snakes are huge and terrifying. There are many close-ups of the snakes' mouths right before they swallow someone whole. In many of the action scenes, the anaconda regurgitates a body, leaving it hanging in trees, covered in what looks like saliva and blood.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the greed the characters initially feel, as well as the team's search for a fountain of youth. Would you want to live forever? Why or why not? The snakes in the film are computer generated. Are real anacondas actually that big?

    The sequal is better but thats not saying much

    This wasnt a bad movie more creepy than scary if you dont understand that ths is a SCI-FI, impossible to happen, wierd, totally fiction movie than youll have nightmares on end. so recommended for older kids or have a long convo. with youger kids that this is totally made up computer animated.
