Lake Placid (1999)
Country: US
Technical: col/scope 82m
Director: Steve Miner
Cast: Bill Pullman, Bridget Fonda, Oliver Platt, Brendan Gleeson
Synopsis:
A 30-foot Asian crocodile surfaces in a lake in Maine and starts chomping on ecologists and local policemen.
Review:
The Jaws scenario without the frolicking holidaymakers but with several of the same false starts and shocks. What distinguishes it is a Tremors-like sense of its own preposterousness, some brisk acting which disguises the stock characters and a conservation-minded conclusion which spares the monster - though not its mate.
