Beware Boiúna (2026)

This is a worthy spiritual successor to Anaconda, which is now coming up on 30 years old. This movie does have all of the elements of Anaconda updated for a modern audience and with a lovely snake to boot. It doesn't lean into cliché comedy, but instead focuses on the horror of actually running into a Titanboa or similarly sized reptile in an area where there is no help to be had. It's a great movie, it's well acted and well produced. The effects are on point and they aren't shy of showing their marvelous snake either. I think you'll enjoy this

Beware Boiúna is very much about getting this group of people into the rainforest for a vague reason and then dropping its story points purely for a bloody snake massacre. It is chock-full of jerky camera movements jittering to an obnoxiously loud sound mix. Repetitive loud noises in a film basically equate to elongated jump scares. Beware Boiúna isn't stingy when it comes to butchering people in countless slimy and slithery ways, but it's all something that could have been avoided if they didn't make terrible decisions.
