Anaconda 3: Offspring (2008 TV Movie) User Reviews

Anaconda Offspring: This is where the franchise nose dived I suppose

[Platypuschow · 2/10 · 5 December 2018]

The first Anaconda was passable, the second was pretty poor but nothing could have prepared me for this! Though the ultra low IMDB rating should have really come to mention it.

I guess was doomed from the start, it has a tiny budget by comparison, it's the third film in an already cheesy scyfy level franchise and the biggest star they could get to carry the movie was the "Hoff".

So yeah, it all looks so very terrible. I could do better sfx than this (And have), the snakes look pitiful and the cast look positively bored throughout.

Though Hasselhoff is better than usual he still can't carry a film and the incredible John Rhys-Davies has a heartbreakingly small role here.

To make matters even worse the plot is generic, the pace is snooze worthy and the whole thing is just seven shades of embarassing.

One more movie to go at time of writing, it can't get worse than this........right?

The Good:

The "Hoff" is better than usual

John Rhys-Davies

The Bad:

Poor cgi

Actually manages to be incredibly boring

The advertised "Stars" are barely in the film

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Always know the animal before the hunt

Cool girls don't look at explosions either

Fourth rate movies all have the usual suspects. Implausible actor reactions, bad continuity, draggy editing, vacuous scripts and in the case of Anaconda 3, laughable CGI effects. Poor acting is often also a feature of such films but actors can be victims of lousy direction, editing and scripts that make them look like patchwork mannequins. There's plenty of that in Anaconda 3, but only Hasselhoff is genuinely ridiculous. His well publicized personal demons appear to have removed any likability he once evidenced. He now just makes you wince. The female lead had an impossible role so her sins must be forgiven till she has a chance to show herself in something better. As an example of her plight Rhys-Davies, a man who we know can act, became a screaming buffoon instead of the more subtle, well rounded character he expresses in other roles. Let's leave it at no one in this production was done any favor by the raw material they had to work with. Which brings us to the monster. The snake blended as smoothly to the real world as a tarantula on a wedding cake. A man in a rubber suit would have been more believable and a good deal more enjoyable. As in so many movies the monster attacked everyone with vigor except one certain cast member who was allowed to escape-twice-unharmed despite being trapped and at its mercy. Not that there isn't humor. For example all the characters fire machine guns at the snake except Hasselhoff, who inexplicably carries a bolt action rifle that would have seemed ancient in 1936. People continue to follow the snake with apparent confidence in its destruction despite dwindling numbers and no effect by their weapons. Hasselhoff, given a cell phone, drums his fingers on it like playing a Beethoven sonata, but the call goes through. There are plenty of laughs and they are the only reason to visit Anaconda 3.

Hoff fine, movie is stunningly bad...........................

[Panamint · 2/10 · 28 July 2008]

Hasselhoff fans please don't be angry because my comments here are in no way aimed a The Hoff or his talents. I tuned in to "Anaconda 3" because I am a fan of Sci-Fi Channel and a fan of Hasselhoff (who is a competent actor) but was stunned by how bad this movie is. Despite The Hoff's charisma and the fact that he can and does manage to do a good acting job playing villain roles, this movie is just lousy.

Very fake snake, cheap CGI, no character development. But the main sin of the movie maker here is that "Anaconda 3" is just not entertaining. It drags in places and often is just not scary.

Yes its a "B" movie and in a TV "B" movie I can live with only a smidgen of character development, but here we actually have none. Not any. Zero.

Huge snake climbs around roofs but doesn't even knock off a shingle. In contrast, the sci-fi movie "D-War" (2007) has a similar monster but when it crawls on a roof, the building cracks and debris falls off.

In "Anaconda III" the animal weighing thousands of pounds rushes around the forest at lightning fast speed but doesn't even snap a twig or stir up any dust (reference "D-War" again), although it leaves a trail in the grass that men can walk through. I know snakes are supposed to be sneaky, but... this giant is not believable enough, even by Sci-Fi Channel standards, and I enjoy most of their product.

The extremely fake visuals overwhelm the very capable performances by the cast, and unfortunately cancel out The Hoff's charisma and ability.

Absolutely dreadful

[TheLittleSongbird · 1/10 · 14 March 2011]

This gets my vote as the worst of the Anaconda movies. As a sequel and on its own terms, Anaconda III is wretched. The scenery/sets are quite nice and Crystal Allen is decent, but that's it. The photography is flat and rushed and the film looks as though it has been edited on a bacon slicer. The continuity is inconsistent as well complete with poor gore effects, the writing is vacuous and eye-rollingly cheesy in alternative to funny and the story is hopelessly predictable. The direction is sloppy, the music is generic and forgettable, the film is unevenly paced and unsatisfyingly resolved and the characters I didn't feel anything for. The acting is just dire, David Hasselhoff and Crystal Allen are the only ones who try and while the enthusiasm is admirable Hasselhoff is embarrassing in his acting and delivery, Allen however is far more believable and manages to be the film's sole redeeming quality. The other actors look bored and uninterested, and any scenes that tries to be suspenseful, atmospheric or frightening fails, instead it is laughable. Overall, dreadful sequel and film. 1/10 Bethany Cox

Possibly the worst movie sequel I have ever seen...

[BewaretheBlade · 1/10 · 4 March 2009]

Although I have never been a "fan" of the Anaconda series of movies, when I heard this would air on Sci-Fi Channel I decided to watch it since I've seen the previous two installments. Big mistake... This movie comes fully equipped with bad acting from all the supporting cast (except for Mr. Davies and the Austrailian guy), horrible snake and gore effects, gaping plot holes, absolutely retarded story (Giant snakes are the key to immortality?!), and half-@ssed directing. *SPOILER ALERT* Also, the sudden change of Hasselhoff's character at the end of the movie from good guy to bad guy was unnecessary in the highest degree. It's almost as if the writers of this abomination decided to add a *startling plot twist* after the completion of the movie and revised the script, as his turn makes no sense at all. *END SPOILERS* I seriously advise against renting or buying this movie, but if you have a totally overwhelming urge to watch this, don't say I didn't warn you...

Sci- Fi does it again

[Newsense · 1/10 · 13 February 2009]

Seriously, anyone that thinks this hunk of garbage is even a decent movie has the lowest standards on the planet! The first Anaconda was the only good one. It had everything, decent cast, great acting(Mostly Jon Voight, perfect setting, awesome animatronics, and the snake actually looked like a real Green Anaconda! Plus it has suspense which The Hunt For Blood Orchid and this butt leakage sorely lacks.

If you're going to call a movie "Anaconda" and it's supposed to be about a giant ANACONDA eating people, doesn't it make sense to have the snake look like an ANACONDA?! Even with CGI, they still can't make a decent snake! The ones in the second film looked almost like really big elapids(cobras, mambas, etc), and the ones in this movie look like damn vipers! I swear I saw one scene in which the snake actually had fangs! And not only that, but this film is a rip-off of the Python movies, which are rip-offs of the first Anaconda! The snake is genetically modified instead of being a natural animal, the snake is oddly intelligent, it stares down its prey like it recognizes them, and it impales people with its tail more often than it constricts them. ALL of these are staples of the Python movies.

The only decent actor in this entire film was Hasselhoff, and that statement itself should tell you how bad it is.

Characters suck, effects suck, CGI sucks, snakes suck, weapons suck, cast sucks, acting sucks, and the plot sucks. Add all this up and you get another Sci-fi channel original suckfest that's not original at all. Really, how sad is it when a movie has to rip-off movies that are already rip-offs? Well, it gets a lot sadder when the rip-off of the rip-offs is the next installment of the series that started the whole damn thing! Anaconda III: more proof that Sci-Fi channel makes the worst horror flicks.

Where's the Hoff?

[player_pawn · 4/10 · 28 September 2008]

When a film features David Hasselhoff and his crack team of snake-fighting mercenaries facing off against a 60-foot-long genetically altered anaconda before the opening credits even roll, any fan of B-movie cheese can arguably presume they're in for a good time. Hasselhoff's self-deprecating humor and strange otherworldly charm make him an endearing punchline, and also translates well into the world of Sci Fi Channel stardom. Sadly, after that opening scene, The Hoff all but disappears for the next 45 minutes of the film, and what starts with campy reptile-killin' fun quickly spirals into boring laboratory diatribes about the dangers of gene manipulation and the real-world uses of unlikely immortality drugs.

Although the ads would lead one to believe otherwise, ANACONDA III actually centers on Amanda (Crystal Allen), a scientist who works for Universal Bio-Tech and the nefarious—and appropriately named—Murdoch (John Rhys-Davies, obviously still fuming over not being included in the new Indiana Jones film). It seems that he's been playing God with the reptilian world and has somehow managed to create an anaconda that's not only larger and angrier than any snake on Earth, but sports a three-foot machete growing out of its tail. This Ginsu butt comes into play numerous times during the film, and while the results are always spectacularly gory, a serpent's bladed posterior is inescapably difficult to take seriously.

Since all B-movie snakes carry the cure for (insert disease here), another round of unethical testing is underway, and it isn't long before our slithering behemoth breaks out of its cage, knocks off everyone but Amanda and her boss and heads out into the lush green wilderness of Romania. It's only then that Hasselhoff's Hammett and a group of ALIENS space-Marine rejects (resembling the United Colors of Benetton) are hired to eradicate the monster, which has taken up residence in a nearby farmhouse. With that, we've now got the prerequisite team of Special Ops, the cheap sets and the giant CG monster…everything required for a yet another weak entry in the recent string of bland Sci Fi Channel originals.

Director Don E. FauntLeroy, who served as DP on the JEEPERS CREEPERS movies and nearly 50 other films, has managed to shoot a good-looking feature, but fills it with every painful cliché imaginable. First-time screenwriters Nicholas Davidoff and David Olson sprinkle in occasionally fun dialogue, but their script is ultimately burdened down with bland characters and extremely corny, uninspired plot twists. Hasselhoff's Hammett, a fun antihero who deserves more screen time (and one-liners), is delegated to a glorified supporting role beneath far less interesting characters. Rhys-Davies, whose cameo appearances work quite well, will hopefully receive a beefier role in ANACONDA IV (the direct sequel shot back to back with this movie, scheduled to debut this December); otherwise, he served virtually no purpose at all. It's only Allen as the spunky Amanda who breathes any life into her role; a surprise, given her lack of substantial film experience prior to headlining this one. Unfortunately, given the material, even she has trouble rising above the movie's stupendous mediocrity. When all is said and done, ANACONDA III should have been a much better film, but it also could have been much worse. The cast is sorely mismanaged, the plot is all over the board and the digital FX—particularly a handful of atrocious greenscreen driving shots—are by-and-large laughable, but the cast and crew obviously worked hard with what little they had. With any luck, this sequel's surviving characters will find more to do in the next entry, and we'll end up with a film that's not just meatier, but more entertaining. A direct-to-cable second follow-up to a creature feature headlined by J. Lo and Ice Cube doesn't need to be a masterpiece, but it should be passable as an evening's fleeting distraction. ANACONDA III is just barely that, but it's still regrettable that something as inherently amusing as David Hasselhoff fighting a giant snake couldn't have ended up just the slightest bit more fun.

Giant Snakes and The Hoff...

[stsinger · 5/10 · 28 July 2008]

Harmless fun. A couple of giant, generically altered snakes break out and terrorize people. The snakes are not-great CGI, but they commit a lot of mayhem, probably more graphically than you'd expect. David Hasslehoff (yup, you read that right) leads the group that is chasing them. Best part of the flick, by far, is Crystal Allen, who plays a PhD and a snake expert, and she's my favorite type of snake expert PhD, the type that is a smoking hot blonde and spends almost the entire movie in a tight, form-fitting tank top. Crystal also works hard to sell her character, and she's fun to watch.

Debuted on Sci-Fi channel in advance of the DVD release, you could do a lot worse.

It's got THE HOFF in it. Questions? Remarks? Nobody? Yupp, i thought so.

[the_last_dodo · 30 January 2009]

OK, this is such a load of horse poo i give it a minus 1. So bad and cheap and again bad it is actually not even funny. Filmed in east Europe but failing east Europe standards - that says a lot. The entire film budget probably would not last for producing half a bay watch episode. Note the elegant transition because this brings us right to ...

And then there's the thing where this movie has THE HOFF in it, which counts automatically for 3 points. Making a total of 2 points.

I take it all warnings to watch this crap are in vain because YOU MUST HAVE THE HOFF! And right you are.

Trust in THE HOFF, THE HOFF is good.

hahaha sooo bad

[zakredekop · 2/10 · 8 November 2008]

We went into this movie with incredibly low expectations seeing as we were looking for a bad movie that we could just laugh it. This movie far underachieved even my lowest expectations. The acting was worse then in a porno, there was no beginning or ending, it just went and at the first close up sight of the anaconda rather then feeling a slight chill every single person in the room burst out laughing. Throughout the entire movie I did not know a single characters name, because they didn't bother with character development of any sort. And the highlight of the movie was of course David Hasselhoff, who's mustache would mysteriously appear and reappear from scene to scene. All in all this movie was a masterpiece of terrible, perfect if your looking to mercilessly mock something with a group of close friends.

If a movie has a CGI snake that roars like a jungle cat, it must be a real blockbuster, right?

[taikaelain · 1/10 · 7 January 2012]

When you see the title, Anaconda 3, you know what to expect, or what not to expect. Do NOT expect witty lines, intelligent plot, Oscar-winning acting, breathtaking CGIs or scientifically accurate factual details. Instead you can look forward to experiencing extremely awkward acting, dull and one-dimensional characters, very cheesy lines, supremely crappy CGIs, or in other words, a film that has not one single reason speaking for its existence.

The only reason I'm giving this pile of dung one point is the unintentional (?) comedic value. You cannot watch this movie without busting out laughing every three minutes.

So, do not go and watch this movie in order to see horror, gore, thrill or action, because all you get is a very hungover looking David Hasselhoff repeating cheesy lines and waving a embarrassingly crappy gun with a "hot" (meaning super annoying) blonde "doctor" chick on his arm as they sprint around an East-European forest after two CGI snakes that look like they were designed by a three year old.

Loved it!

[LostSok0523 · 8/10 · 26 July 2008]

This is exactly the type of movie SciFi should be presenting and/or producing. Not a shoe-string budget, but not a student-project level production either; a name actor (even if the name is Hasselhoff), and enough humor/blood/story to keep someone interested when they're not in the mood for Shakespeare.

The talent involved in this movie was B level, top to bottom, but from the director-a longtime camera operator and cinematographer, to the former Baywatch star, it's made by longtime professionals, and the serious attempt at making a quality movie is noticeable.

And the snakes were as cool as you get for this kind of money (at least when they're not on a plane).

I'm looking forward to Anaconda 4!

Fun, silly B-movie, nothing more

[Leofwine_draca · 6/10 · 24 September 2013]

Forget the horrible second film in the series (ANACONDA 2: HUNT FOR THE BLOOD ORCHID) as ANACONDA III is a much better production and in much the same spirit as the ultra-cheesy original. Yes, this is a cheapo B-movie TV production, filled to the brim with cheesy CGI, bad acting and a script that goes around in circles for ages. But it's also a whole lot of fun.

B-movie fans will be in their element with this action-packed storyline, which sees a pair of gigantic killer snakes on the loose, pursued by a pack of bounty hunters with material reward in mind. Half the film consists of David Hasslehoff and John Rhys-Davies trying to outdo each other in terms of scenery-chewing, and the rest consists of the fake-looking snakes ripping up the human cast members in increasingly gory ways.

Yes, this is a film all about the kills, and they're satisfyingly bloody by genre standards, about the same as in my other cult favourite, AZTEC REX. Watching a series of poor actors getting munched on is an often hilarious experience, and it helps the film run along smoothly. ANACONDA III: OFFSPRING is certainly no classic, but I enjoyed the heck out of it.

All in all it sucked

[vinniesacura · 3/10 · 29 July 2008]

For the most part I was Horrified! At the movie that is, the cgi was the worst of all 3 movies and the story was just plum stupid. Upon the original release of Anacondas back in 97, the cgi was great. Most of the time you couldn't tell that the snakes where fake. However in this picture every time you see one of the over-sized snakes, all you see is a glowing snake-like figure thats really shiny whom looks nothing like the snakes in the original film. Frankly I would be ashamed to be J.lo, Ice Cube, or Jon Voight! Don't get me wrong I loved the original, thats why I get so mad when someone does a sloppy remake! I really wish that someone could tell me why we are farther in times yet our cgi worsens with every year. Im a big cgi I nut, if stuff looks fake, I don't really care to watch it. Also the snakes in the first two films where proportionate, the weren't so big that you would never believe them to exist. This film is like a remade "Python". The snakes are probably a few hundred feet long! How stupid? If s0ny produced this film, then I have nothing more to say, they should loose their L's to shoot films.

What a Crap!

[claudio_carvalho · 1/10 · 20 November 2008]

While researching an offspring of anaconda with transgenic for saving lives discovering cure for cancer and Alzheimer in the facility of Wexel Hall Pharmaceutics, the CEO Murdoch (John Rhys-Davies) refuses to invest in a larger tank and more security and staff as advised by the head of the project, Dr. Amanda Hayes (Crystal Allen). When he focuses a light in the tank, the anaconda attacks and breaks out the confined facility. Murdoch hires a team leaded by the mercenary Hammett (David Hasselhoff) to destroy the animal.

What a crap this lame "Anaconda III" is! This collection of clichés is awful, not funny, noisy and ridiculous, with terrible screenplay, acting and CGI. I believe the anaconda likes dyed blonde since the beast attacks everybody but the twenty-nine year old scientist along the story. Do not waste your time like I did is my final advice. My vote is one.

Title (Brazil): "Anaconda 3"

Yes, it's awful, horrible, but boring? No way!

[neilor-1 · 2/10 · 26 April 2009]

I knew from the beginning this will be a poor film, but didn't expect so many failures. To such an extent that this is more amusing than the movie itself.

Yes, the CGI is from 60-s, the acting is poor, except for Crystal Allen and Patrick Regis in few moments. But it is so funny to see anacondas move in a straight line - which is impossible for snakes! Or when David Hasselhoff dialled on the phone with all fingers simultaneously! I was sure he is misleading his companions and was surprised the phone call was not fake...

In a summary - if you enjoy to find silly mistakes in films - you're on a right place! But don't expect anything else from that movie.

Anacondon't.

[BA_Harrison · 3/10 · 18 June 2020]

The original Anaconda was a fun B-movie bolstered by a good cast; Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid was a more than serviceable sequel, despite zero star power; Anacondas 3: Offspring is made-for-TV drivel shot in Romania where movie-making is cheap, and its stars are The Hoff and Gimli. No famous faces would have been preferable.

The risible plot sees sexy blonde herpetologist Amanda Hayes (Crystal Allen) team up with ruthless hunter Hammett (David Hasselhoff) and a team of mercenaries to find and destroy a deadly snake that has escaped from a laboratory owned by terminally ill billionaire Murdoch (John Rhys-Davies), head of Wexel Hall Pharmaceuticals. For reasons too convoluted to go into, the snake is over 60ft long and still growing and has a big spike on the end of its tail with which it impales its prey.

With a terrible supporting cast comprising largely of local Romanian talent, diabolical special effects (the green screened backdrop used whenever someone is driving a vehicle is appalling), ridiculous creature design (in addition to a spiked tail, the snake also has glowing red areas around its head), and a script that rips off both Aliens (the mercs obviously inspired by that film's marines) and Predator (Amanda avoids being attacked when she is covered in mud), the film is barely watchable, its only plus points being some gore (severed limbs, decapitations, impalements) and the fact that Crystal Allen spends much of the time in a tight white vest.

To make things worse, the streaming site I found this on made me watch a music video by a whiny rapper called Pk3y before the film started. Talk about adding insult to injury!

Focuses too much on gore

[lhughes461 · 3/10 · 19 March 2011]

When I stumbled across this on Sy Fy and saw that the Hoff was in it I thought, proceed with caution it's either going to be good or terrible. It was terrible for the most part although did have the potential to be so much better.

The film mainly consisted of the super giant snake attacking people in a variety of ways. It was far too focused on the various gruesome ways a stereo-snake could kill someone and not really on much else.

Overall it was just needlessly gory.

That being said I got to the end and did manage a chuckle at points so it passed the B movie test. It's watchable if nothing else is on but I wouldn't go out of your way.

there's more blood....

[FlashCallahan · 4/10 · 24 July 2011]

Cancer-terminal tycoon Peter Murdoch's secret Wexel Hall Pharmaceuticals lab has developed a blood orchid extract cure. To examine why it works optimally in snakes, they also bread a super-anaconda strain.

But the original pair escapes, leaving a bloody trail of corpses.

Murdoch runs, instructing his staff to clean up. They keep failing and being eaten like unsuspecting locals, some alive, even after enlisting ruthless big game hunter Hammett....

Don't get me wrong, this film is awful, the acting is dire, and the effects are pitiful, but it has some cheesy charm to it. The makers must have known they were making something silly, because they have Hasselhoff as the main draw.

I mean the man is a walking satire, so who is going o take anything he stars in seriously. But it's just so funny, watching actors driving a truck in bluescreen, chasing after a snake, and getting killed in silly scenarios.

Hav your movie expectations lowered like never before and you will get some enjoyment out of this. Who wouldn't want to see Hasselhoff throwa man out of a window, or see how movie makers increase the running time by making a character flashback a scene that happened twenty minutes prior...

Worst CGI ever...

[eety87 · 1/10 · 25 October 2008]

Just the first act was confusing... i mean where in the heck were they? And the first time i saw that snake.. Well i almost wanted not to watch anymore of the film cause it seemed awful... And i rly do regret that i gave the film a chance to entertain me. It was rly boring from the beginning. Yeas i know it was "mutated" anaconda but pls it has teeth like T-Rex! Bites heads and hands of etc etc. Has a sword like tail and all this BS. And they say it weights more then a ton. Well that old barn house did almost fell apart from one man but a snake that big doesn't make any damage. The mercenerys were awful... I mean its a snake that did go in ground and these guys shoot upwards? Rly professionals i tell you. And sick of this pull the trigger close your eyes and pray if it hits something tactics of these "PRO" mercenarys. Also i'm an herpetologist and well heres few spoofs. In the cover of the film isn't a anaconda its Boa constrictor. So is that snake in the end that survives the explosion. And there was this second snake almost in the beginning. South African snake living free in europe? yeah i believe that... Even a blind monkey could make better story thats a bit more realistic. So if you can deactivate your brains watch the film. But if you know things about snakes don't watch it. It makes you cry like a baby.

Awful Mess

[Michael_Elliott · 5 April 2010]

Anaconda III (2008)

1/2 (out of 4)

Incredibly horrid film has some scientist giving serum to an anaconda, which causes it to grow 60-ft and gain fast speeds. The thing eventually breaks loose so it's up to some hunters (led by David Hasselhoff) to track it down and kill it. The first film in the series is one of the greatest "animal-attack" movies out there. The first sequel was mildly entertaining but this thing here is rather painful to watch. I'm really not sure where to start on this one but I guess we'll go with the horrid special effects. The CGI effects are so incredibly bad that you can't help but shake your head. Just take a look at one scene where a man gets his head bitten off and the blood just starts flowing into the air and it never comes down! Other crazy stuff includes this large snake going through weeds yet the weeds never move. The blood is constantly shooting out and it looks like maroon paint. Why they even messed up the color of blood is beyond me but there wasn't a single shot of anything CGI wise that looked real. I'm sure many will blame the small budget, which is probably fair but if you can't afford something half-way decent then why not just leave it out and try to be creative in terms of scares? No, we just get the really cheap and really bad gore effects. The story isn't much better as we're thrown into PREDATOR territory again but there's nothing exciting here. The performances aren't much better with Hasselhoff looking very bored and wanting to rush off to cash his check. None of the supporting players really add much but the screenplay doesn't exactly do them any favors. I love giant snake movies because I hate snakes and these type of films usually freak me out but not once did I get that feeling here. This is just a horrid movie from start to finish.

Highly impressive sequel effort

[kannibalcorpsegrinder · 9/10 · 12 June 2015]

Following its accidental escape, a snake-handler is sent on a mission with a team of trackers to return to the jungle and must use their hunting skills to track down and destroy the creature before they mate.

This was a highly enjoyable killer snake effort. One of the best elements to it is the fact that this one managed to cram a lot of highly enjoyable and entertaining action scenes so that it's never boring. It's pretty much non-stop from the beginning as the opening capture of the snake is a short-but-fun moment with a ton of gunfire goes off in every direction and features the novel concept of managing to not kill anyone off during the process. From there we get the rather exciting escape sequence where a lot comes into play, from the exciting sequence where it bangs against the glass with the released gas, stalking it through the hallways and heating ducts to the graphic kills and much more in a fun, lengthy sequence. The rest of the movie is non-stop action as it's one big sequence starting with the confrontation on the farm. The gunfire is used appropriately with the proper amount of damage to the snake and some nice deaths mixed in with the action incorporating some really new and unique set-pieces into an explosive scene, and even a wild car chase in jeeps with the snake rolling through the underbrush followed by the cars which is a nice plus. There's also the finale where the big confrontations are held inside a creepy, dank basement, which adds a fair amount of atmosphere to the events, the action is top-notch with the two snakes each getting in a rather fun moment and it ends the movie with a real blast. The last plus is that the film manages to keep it's early scenes in the laboratory quite interesting. It's all back- story, but it's not that dull, manages to make some sense when it easily could've been something else entirely and it sets up the later scenes quite effectively. Along with its quite messy and really bloody kills, these here are what make this one enjoyable against what is the only real flaw to it. This is the ever-present and totally fake-looking CGI for the creatures. There's a few moments here and there where it looks passable at times, then there's moments where it looks directly at the camera and its obviously-pixilated image becomes so goofy that it starts to become hilarious, especially when it's interacting with the present humans, where it doesn't match up at all. This is the film's only flaw.

Rated R: Graphic Violence and some Language.

Enjoy it

[seckinlergafri · 7/10 · 19 July 2017]

Anaconda 3: offspring (2008) is a television horror film premiered on Syfy Channel on July 26, 2008, is the 3rd series of Anaconda franchise that started in 1997 ... This movie is good for entertainment with all its shortcomings .. The CGI effect is austere .. Acting the normal course .. So enjoy everything ... Anaconda 3 thats awesome!

God, not again...

[mgrybar · 1/10 · 15 July 2012]

I don't get it, why would anyone pay to see this? David Hasselhoff is by far washed up character and after "Baywatch" there is not much to expect from him. The thing that bugs me the most with all Anaconda sequels is that the snake is all together badly described. Why? Well anyone who watched at least one documentary episode about these animals, knows how these beasts behave, and aside of the third part where these animals are DNA tampered with, not one have a good excuse for that kind of behavior. Mainly the way they move, sound and look. And than...things go from bad to worse, dude gets pierced through his chest with the snakes tail and they try to do CPR on him. Shoot me for giving this movie a try, thank God for not paying for it.
