Lake Placid (1999)



Three people attempt to stop a gigantic crocodile, who is terrorizing residents in Black Lake, Maine.

Slightly amusing, tongue-in-cheek monster with a star cast doesn't want be taken seriously, and one shouldn't.

Halliwell (no star): "A cheapjack horror movie that puts the emphasis on jokes, but a few good one-liners are not enough to enliven so much predictability."

Maltin**: "David E. Kelley, writing down to the material, provides lots of wisecracks, but few scares. Brief but tiresome film tries - but fails - to be a monster movie and environmentally correct at the same time."
