July 17, 2014As today marks the 15 year anniversary of the theatrical release of 'Lake Placid' it seems only fitting to pop in the brand new Scream Factory blu-ray release and give it another watch. It is admittedly pretty terrible, but I do have a predilection for Bill Pullman movies as well as giant creature movies. An old lady (Betty White) starts feeding crocodiles in a lake, causing those crocodiles to somehow grow to prodigious sizes and then devour anything or anyone that happens to cross their path. A fish and game officer (Pullman), the local sheriff (Brendan Gleeson), a paleontologist (Bridget Fonda), and a professor (Oliver Platt) set out to solve the mystery of the lake and quickly realize they are up against something much more formidable than they could have imagined. If you haven't seen it, give it a watch, but don't expect much. With the dated special effects and corny dialogue, it is just a few pegs above the level of a SyFy channel original.
