Jul 16, 1999 · Lake Placid. Roger Ebert July 16, 1999. Tweet. Now streaming on: Powered by JustWatch. "What an animal does in the water is his own business--unless he does it to man." So says Sheriff Keough, one of the crocbusters of "Lake Placid." I couldn't disagree with him more. The 30-foot crocodile in this movie stays in the water, contentedly munching ...

This completely unrelated entry in the Lake Placid series is incredibly derivative and inconsequential. Using more of the Anacondatemplate, it relies more on action than suspense – and gives the crocodile little screen time. Some young activists go to an island in the middle of a lake and are terrorized by a giant crocodile – the result of an exper...
The Bickermans continue their unhealthy relationship with crocs after Sadie (Cloris Leachman) dies. Her nephew Nathan (Colin Ferguson) takes up the mantle, raising several babies that soon begin to wreak havoc once again in Black Lake. Terrible CGI, indifferent performances and juvenile humor try hard to make the first sequel look exceptional. Dire...
There’s more crocodile trouble in Black Lake when three giant specimens begin chomping down on the locals. John Schneider, Sarah Lafleur and, surprisingly, Cloris Leachman play out a very familiar scenario with little conviction. With none of the charm or suspense of the original, this direct sequel is a typical made-for-cable outing. After the out...
Overlooking the broken promise of the title, this is a pretty solid made-for-cable film with a smart script and a game cast. The inspired premise revolves around the transformation of Black Lake into a crocodile sanctuary – complete with an electric fence and a high school bus making that pivotal “wrong turn.” Yancy Butler returns as Reba, former p...
While “Lake Placid” was not the name of the crocodile in any of the previous films, the basic premise is communicated well enough by the silly title. Butler and Englund return in what is basically a Roger Cormancreature movie from the 70s; silly, slight, and self-aware. A giant crocodile and a giant anaconda square off while sorority sisters go for...
Steve Miner’s film was nice surprise when released in 1999. Lake Placidwas a quirky character comedy with some great practical effects, and the film has aged well. Bill Pullman plays a fish and game officer who teams with Bridget Fonda’s plucky paleontologist to look into the death of a scuba diver bitten in half at Black Lake. A great cast, includ...

Jul 16, 1999 · Despite the D.O.A. nature of the genre it satirizes, the demon crocodile movie ''Lake Placid'' finds a good deal to work with in newly reptile-plagued Maine. As written by David E. Kelley...
Jul 16, 1999 · Review. An amusing take on the low-budget monster movies of the seventies, this is also a kind of follow-up to the Alligator movies of the early eighties. It wasn't a success, maybe due to the title - potential viewers may think it's a documentary about a lake - but is consistently humorous, thanks to a good cast.

User Reviews. When a diver is cut in half by something under the water of a quiet lake in Maine, Sheriff Keough calls in the Rangers, Jack Wells and a New York palaeontologist, Kelly Scott to investigate a tooth found. Wealthy crocodile hunter Hector Cyr swoops in to insist that the creature is a crocodile.

The site's critics consensus reads, "Betty White's delightful supporting turn may be worth the price of admission alone, but Lake Placid is swamped by a smarmy script and inability to deliver on the ...
