Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

nzswanny Lake Placid may come across to you as the most quotable, cheesy, hilarious film you'll see this year, and this is why I liked it so much. It's intentionally hilarious and cheesy and does a good job of resembling the style of low budget B-movies IF you ignore the big name actors. I'm a bit surprised that some of the critics didn't catch the intelligence of the film's humour and how the characters can be so likable despite how unlikable they are, and you could have a jolly good fun time of an argument about who the best character in the film was. The editing is surprisingly good and actually adds a neatly humorous style to the movie and the visuals are nicely eye-pleasing, and in my horrible opinion the film is twenty billion times better than it has the right to be. It's not deserving of a long review, but it's better than good as a film to pass time.

jacobjohntaylor1 This movie could some people out of going for a swim. This a very scary movie. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. Lake Placid 2 is scarier. But still this is one of the scariest movie to come out before 2007. Two crocodiles show in a lake this not know to have crocodiles. This a very scary movie. If this movie does not scary you then no movie will scary you. This a great horror movie. Bill Pullman is a great actor. Bridget Fonda is a great actress. Oliver P.l.a.t.t is a great actor. Brendan G.l.e.e.s.o.n is a great actor. Betty White is a great actress. David l.e.w.i.s is a great actor. This movie is a must see. Lake Placid 3 is a scarier. But still this a great movie.

ersinkdotcom If I had to pick one movie that I believe jettisoned the current craze for schlocky creature features to where it's at now, it would be 1999's "Lake Placid." Full of ridiculous characters, gory killings, and a cameo from Betty White in which she swears not like one but several sailors, it paved the way for today's fun B-movies in the vein of "Sharknado" and pretty much any film in the Asylum catalog. A group of investigators are called to a remote lake in Maine after the mysterious death of a police officer occurs in the usually calm waters. Upon arriving, the team discovers that a crocodile has somehow made its way into the lake and is feeding on anything big enough to satisfy its appetite... whether it be animal or human. Where did the beast come from and how can they stop it before it kills again?"Lake Placid" boasts an ensemble cast of actors who looking back now would consider this slumming it by how they're viewed today. Bill Pullman portrays one of the crocodile hunters and puts forth every effort to take the material seriously. Bridget Fonda is a paleontologist who delivers an emotional performance completely unnecessary for such a lighthearted adventure romp. Brendan Gleeson plays the local sheriff and you'd never know he would grow into such a respected British thespian of cinema. Oliver Platt fully embraces his role as an eccentric rich boy obsessed with the oversized scaly lizards."Lake Placid" is rated R for violent creature attacks and related gore, and for language. There's no nudity but plenty of conversations about sex and innuendos. If you have a weak stomach when it comes to on screen carnage, you might find yourself hurrying to close your eyes at points. Clocking in at an hour and twenty-two minutes, "Lake Placid" is a great example of the term "less is more." It doesn't overstay its welcome and accomplishes what it wants to within its run time. I think its legacy of made-for-TV sequels speaks for its appeal to monster movie enthusiasts who enjoy a little humor and cheese with their severed limbs and decapitated heads.
