It crawls. It stalks. It attacks. Welcome to the jungle, where the hunter becomes the prey.

Anaconda 5: The Jungle Predator revives the cult creature franchise with more teeth, more blood, and a terrifying new ecosystem. This time, the monstrous serpent has left the swamp behind and settled in a remote South American rainforest, where illegal logging, black market science, and ancient legends intertwine.

Alexandra Daddario stars as a biologist-turned-survivor who makes a terrifying discovery: a genetically engineered anaconda, designed for stealth and speed, has been unleashed into a fragile ecosystem. Frank Grillo stars as a hardened former mercenary hired to lead the extraction team, and every glance he takes is laced with anger and regret.

What sets this sequel apart? The scale. The action. The evolution. This isn’t your grandfather’s snake: this one hunts with precision, camouflages itself like a chameleon, and strikes without warning. The kills are swift, brutal, and often disturbingly creative.

Director Roel Reiné ratchets up the tension with claustrophobic jungle chases, night-vision hunting sequences, and an epic battle near a waterfall—arguably the series’ most intense moment yet. And yes, Danny Trejo shows up with a machete and a desire for revenge. An instant legend.
