Lake Placid

CriticsCritics: 41
AudienceAudience: 5.6

After a man is killed by an unknown creature, a local game warden joins forces with a visiting paleontologist and other unusual allies to investigate a remote Maine lake. Their search soon centers on a gigantic crocodile, bringing danger, bickering, and darkly comic adventure to the hunt.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a fast, witty creature feature with suspense, gore, and comic bickering; Not for you if you prefer serious horror or consistently sensible characters.
