I remember it was a rainy day in January 2012, me and my dad were driving to FYE. My goal was to purchase the film Dawn of the Dead (1978) as it was a movie that I wanted out to see for a while. It turned out that that the day we went to FYE was the day it was going out of business. So we got everything half off, I got a NFL thing, Dawn, and as a throw in, Day of the Dead. That night I decided to watch Day first. Before this I had seen the god awful remake. But anyway I sat down that cold, dark night to watch it. WOW. I fell in love with this film. The performances are pitch perfect especially Joe Pilato and Terry Alexander. John Harrison's score I still listen to on a regular basis. The special effects, oh the special effects are amazing! The setting in the bunker was brilliant. This is one of the greatest films I have ever seen and I have seen a lot. If you can, watch it. Don't hesitate just watch it. You will not be disappointed.

I enjoy this movie. This movie provides solid entertainment for 95 mins. I can't comment on the dialog because the version I watched didn't have English subtitles though luckily I still could understand what was going because of the actor's facial expressions. The CGI isn't bad at some parts. The plot wasn't strong, but then again they never are in snake movies. The acting was so so, though the lead actress did a pretty good job. The locations and cinematography we gorgeous. The jungle feels like a character in this movie. My main problem with this movie is that it takes 30 mins. to see the Boa for the first time. Though once it does show it up it appears often and picks people off one by one. The military didn't seem to do much during the movie except get killed. I would have liked to see them do something in this movie. But overall I really enjoyed this movie and I hope it is eventually released in the United States. 9/10

Megaconda was a movie that I didn't know existed until today. I watched and thought it was averages but entertaining. The effects aren't the best but I didn't expect them to be. The snake scenes are fun to watch. The acting wasn't anything to write home about about though Greg Evigan was decent with what he was given. I also thought the snake was a bit to big, I would have rather seen a snake as big as the ones in the Anaconda series but that's just me. The sounds that the snake makes are the same ones you hear in every giant snake movie which isn't a bad thing because I do like the sounds, though I guess I'm weird. The director, Christopher Ray (known for Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus) did a decent job directing, he is pretty good at action sequences which was really what I and other people watch these type of movies for. But over all this is a average but entertaining movie. 2 out of 4 stars
