In Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid, a drug company assembles a team of young and good-looking scientists to travel to the deep, dark jungles of Borneo to find a stash of blood orchids that will make the drug company billions of dollars.

Where the movie did fail was, as I said, not enough snake, too much "blood orchid", nothing really in terms of "cool deaths" (if there is such a thing), an ending that a 12-year old kid could have wrote and too much of the PG-13 shit we have seen going on this summer.
