Synopsis
"You'll Spend As Much Time Laughing As You Do Screaming." - David Poland, TNT Roughcut.com

Bill Pullman (Independence Day), Bridget Fonda (A Simple Plan) and Oliver Platt (Bulworth) share an appetite for sheer adventure when a tranquil New England lakefront erupts into an action-packed den of destruction in this "monster of a hit!" (Wireless Magazine)

An investigative team, armed with state-of-the-art equipment, high powered weaponry and a biting sense of sarcasm, must work together to defeat Black Lake's most ferocious resident: a 30-foot prehistoric crocodile! Betty White co-stars as the cantankerous Mrs. Bickerman - a role you've got to hear to believe - in this terrifying tale of survival that "combines humor and thrills with remarkable deftness." (New York Post)

Empire Review
Mistake on the lake! - 2.75 out of 5  (2/3/2000)
The box cover bills "Lake Placid" as this years "Anaconda." I might not go that far however I will go as far as to compare it to "Tremors." The movie is an okay comedy but not a real..great horror film. If you want my opinion, I think it has alot to do with the Director. Steve Minor cut his teeth on Friday the 13th flicks and he has a bad habit of telegraphing the scares. A habit which he still hasn't broken. The story is good, a scuba diver gets chomped up on the still waters of Lake Placi   more >>

Cross Ally McBeal with Jaws and you get this great horror comedy - 3.5 out of 5  (7/16/2000)
I went in to the cinema expecting a plain old horror film - but instead I was treated to this hilarious, daft and perfectly crafted horror comedy.   more >>

You will never want to swim in Lake Placid...... - 4.25 out of 5  (2/25/2000)
This is a good film with a simple story and with interesting and somewhat funny,hilarious characters.They do their job good in this film.Gator lover Hector,cantankerous Mrs Bickermann,museum expert Kelly and Sheriff.... This movie is to both scare and laugh.3-D crocodile is worth seeing and scenes that he kills are not for children exactly.They are really wild.Scenery of Lake Placid is nothing but astounding.Great visual sights. Video is widescreen and colors are life-like. As for the sound   more >>

Lake FLACCID - 3.25 out of 5  (2/4/2000)
Limp in every sense: script, acting and direction. David E. Kelley should've pulled in his writers from Ally McBeal if he was trying to make a comedy/horror flick. The characters are soooo annoying and have the dumbest character motivations, that you wish Croc would kill them all in the first 15 minutes. And I'm no prude, but Betty White is supposed to be funny because she spits out four-letter epithets? At least the lake is pretty.... See the DVD Deep Rising if you want to see a film that b   more >>
