    Beware Boiúna Review: Giant Snake Movie Takes Itself Seriously & It Pays Off (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    When one thinks of giant snake movies, Anaconda immediately comes to mind. The 1997 film starring Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube, and Jon Voight was derided by critics upon its initial release, but has since been embraced as a so-bad-it’s-good cult classic. In Beware Boiúna, filmmaker Mike P. Nelson (Wrong Turn, Silent Night, Deadly Night) embarks on an ambitious mission: create a giant snake movie that stands apart from Anaconda and the numerous other silly installments in this creature feature subge
