History NightmareFuel / Anaconda

[[caption-width-right:300: ''[[{{Tagline}} When you can't breathe, you can't scream]]'']]

* While he definitely deserved it, [[spoiler: [[CruelAndUnusualDeath Serone's death is pretty damn horrific. He is caught by the snake, and he gets slowly crushed. You can actually hear his bones breaking before he's eaten. And then he's partially digested and then regurgitated.]]]]
** Speaking of which, [[spoiler: Serone after he gets regurgitated is pretty [[BodyHorror unpleasant to look at.]] His [[EyeScream right eye is missing]], [[CoveredInGunge he is covered in the snake's stomach acid]], and his skin appears to be ''partially peeled off''.]]
* Doubling as NauseaFuel, Steven is stung by a wasp, and his treatment is ''very'' hard to watch. Serone takes a butter knife, ''stabs Steven in the throat'', and inserts a tube with alcohol on it into his neck.
** Hell, the wasp sting scene is bad enough, just because of how sudden it is. Watching Steven start violently flailing is [[MoodWhiplash jarring,]] to say the least. And then Mateo pulls a ''gigantic wasp'' out of Steven's mouth.
* The snake[[spoiler:s]] themselves are pretty creepy. They seem to be some highly evolved species of Anaconda, since they have ''pit organs and vocal chords''.
** The vocalizations the snakes make are pretty creepy, ranging from a high pitched growl to an absolutely guttural shriek. Hearing these noises coming from a ''snake'' is pretty strange.
* There's a bit of TruthInTelevision in the movie, as the [[spoiler: first]] snake is 25 feet long. Real life Anacondas can ''exceed'' this length.
** Hell, some snakes have indeed gotten '''dangerously close''' to 40 feet long. [[FearIsTheAppropriateResponse Time to scream.]]

* The scene [[spoiler: where the second snake is introduced. We see Danny and Terri react to it, then it cuts to a POV shot from the snake's perspective, before it finally cuts to a different angle. Seeing the snake for the first time may not startle viewers at first, but then it slowly descends from the ceiling, and it's revealed to be a 40 foot monstrosity. Doubles as a meta MomentOfAwesome.]]
* One word: '''[[CompleteMonster SERONE]].'''
** He is a creepy pervert. I could just stop there.
** When he [[spoiler: tosses the plants into the ocean as a sign of "respect" for Gary, he has an "I don't give a fuck" face, which tells you that he could care ''less'' if Gary died. Really just goes to show that Serone is worse than the snakes he attacks.]]
*** Speaking of which: [[spoiler: the first Anaconda is highly dangerous. Why? Because Serone insists on hunting it and will not let it go. When Terri kills it, he viciously attacked her and tried to kill her. Had [[BigDamnHeroes Steven not shown up last second]], Serone would have killed them both]].
*** Hell, [[spoiler: Serone being a snake hunter is quite terrifying if you think about it from the snake's perspective: You are in your territory, minding your own business, and this strange, bipedal creature blunders into your territory, and tries to capture you for ''who knows what.'' That's not a very pleasant thought.]]

* The snakes having pit organs is creepy considering that pit organs allow them to sense the heat of prey and essentially track them. Meaning no matter ''where'' you are, [[PunctuatedForEmphasis they. Can.]] [[ParanoiaFuel SEE YOU.]]
