Reviews:

"Typical delivery of threatening animal with a stimulus: Jennifer Lopez"

Javier Ocaña: Cinemanía

"There are films that are pure madness (...) Unspeakable special effects, but a success: what is said, there are other delusions, but they are in this"

Luis Martínez: El País Newspaper

"A shrewdly entertaining rendition of 'Shark' with reptiles, set in the heart of the Amazon rainforest ... Even more frightening than any of the creatures (...) gives the performance of Jon Voight"

Stephen Holden: The New York Times

Personal opinion: 

The film I saw a long time ago, and I remember that I liked it because there is enough action, but also that the special effects were very bad. But the drama is fine.

It has sequel:

Anacondas: The Hunt for the Bloody Orchid (Anaconda 2) and Jaws vs. Anaconda.
