Editorial Review:
Description:
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."
Amazon.com:
Lake Placid is total trash--and, as a result, fairly entertaining. Yet another entry in the horror subgenre of giant animals running amok, Lake Placid features a giant crocodile that has somehow found its way to an isolated lake in Maine. The absurdity of crocodiles in Maine sets the tone for the entire movie, which has no ambitions beyond mixing a little fright with a little humor. Bridget Fonda (Point of No Return, Jackie Brown) plays a paleontologist sent to investigate a large tooth; Bill Pullman (Independence Day, Lost Highway) is a fish and game warden just trying to keep the peace; Oliver Platt (Funny Bones, Flatliners) plays a loose-cannon mythology professor who swims with crocodiles for sport; and Brendan Gleeson (an excellent but little-known actor, most noted for The General) is a local sheriff with a short temper and a big gun. Add a few gruesome dismemberments, Betty White as a cantankerous old broad who may have murdered her husband, and a cow hanging from a helicopter, and there you have it: Lake Placid. (Curiously, this concoction was put together by David E. Kelley, better known as the creator of TV's Ally McBeal and The Practice.) --Bret Fetzer

This movie is very good. Maybe I liked this movie because the acting was not bad for this kind of films, and for the very good croc in both its CG and animatronic versions. I notice that this movie is compared many times with the movie Anaconda. I honestly do not see many similarities between those movies and the reason why they are compared so much. Both movies were good but I personally liked more Lake Placid than Anaconda. The movie has its flaws but I'm not going to list the bad things. Good for ... Read More

When "Lake Placid" was first released, I just assumed that it was yet another "Jaws" rip-off and consequently avoided it. It was only later, when I discovered that it was written by David E. Kelley (creator of "The Practice", "Ally McBeal" and "Boston Legal"), that I decided to give it a try. Although it is true that, in principle, "Lake Placid" is a "Jaws" rip-off (substituting a 30 foot crocodile for a shark), to describe it that way is extremely misleading. In fact, "Lake Placid" is a sarcastic comedy ... Read More

I have seen this movie countless times in the past, and I just had to own it. IF you like movies about over-sized carnivorous animals ( Anaconda , Eight-Legged Freaks , Godzilla ) then this is a take-home product for you. Personally I love crocs more than any other giant mutant animal, and the sharp humor and great special effects make this movie very enjoyable. Plus, Oliver Platt is hilarious!

This is a movie that had a storyline with all the potential in the world, quickly turned into mediocrity.
It's about a 30-something foot long super crocodile that's super deadly and lives in a lake. Of course, it's a threat to the people who live around the area (or rather, the few people who actually live there).
While the potential for a horror thriller was certainly there, the acting skills were bad from the characters. Instead of feeling concern or fear for their well-beings, ... Read More
