A movie with pleanty of bite!!
People who don't like creature features may be put off renting this movie. All I can say is DON'T BE! This is a very funny film which is light on gore (save for the first ten minutes) but loaded with wit and crackling dialogue thanks to an original, tongue-in-cheek script. A perfect saturday night flick to watch with a date or a few mates and and a crate.
superb.........
this is a superb film.
it starts with something big, that is lurking in Black Lake .... and it is eating people.
Paleontologist Kelly played by Bridget Fonda is sent to investigate.
she joins forces with the local sheriff called Hank played by Brendan Gleeson, the Fish and Game ranger called Jack played by Bill Pullman and an intrepid crocodile hunter called Hector played by Oliver Platt,.
they set out to track the creature in the lake down.
the key to what is lurking in the water, all lies with the only inhabitant, who lives near the lake, an aged grey haired old lady called Delores Bickerman played by Betty White (of the golden girls fame).
Lake Placid is one of those rare breeds of movie that manages to successfully combine comedy with a horror ...
