Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid

""The Hunters will become the hunted.""



Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid was a sequel to Anaconda and was directed by Dwight H. Little. It is the second installment of the Anaconda film series and earned enough money financially to make another sequel.

The story follows a small expedition team, that was funded by the Wexel Hall pharmaceutical firm, into the inner jungles of Borneo to find the mythical flower, called the Blood Orchid, which they believe to give longer and healthier lives, they want this plant for scientific advancements for mankind. Until, disaster struck, then they have to fight for their lives to survive a very unfriendly jungle, including anacondas that are stalking them. This also explained why there's giant anacondas in the first place.
