**Lake Placid swam so Sharknado could fly!**

Billing Lake Placid as a horror movie could not be more misleading. This movie is a goofy creature feature with hardly a scary moment. Instead, all the tension and fear are played up for hilarity and entertainment. I remember watching this as a young kid and laughing the entire time. Lake Placid is a delightful action comedy with a solid cast for being such a low-budget film. Lake Placid is an excellent entry in a long line of stupid creature films that are pure enjoyment if you disconnect your brain, grab some popcorn, and get ready to have fun. If you enjoy a ridiculous shark movie, you will love Lake Placid.

Big Crocodile – Big Log – Big Fun.

There’s a gigantic crocodile loose in the waters of Maine. A number of local hicks and big city eccentrics converge to try and stop the beast…

Wonderful! A modern day homage to the creature feature movies of lore. It’s not a spoof, it’s a fun packed tongue in cheek thriller, hell it may even have some literary worth as regards ecological concerns, while the cultural clashes that thrive are written with knowing skill.

Bill Pullman, Bridget Fonda and Brendan Gleeson are superbly underplaying things, but they all get usurped when at the 20 minute mark Oliver Platt flies in on his helicopter and promptly owns the film from that point on.

The script crackles with choice wit and sarcasm (the Gleeson/Platt on going feud an absolute joy), while Stan Winston provides beastly graphics that are blended with genuine suspense courtesy of director Steve Miner. Oh and “Golden Girl” star Betty White turns in a support slot – with a potty mouth!

Double view it with something like “Tremors”, movies that know exactly what they want to homage. 8/10

LAKE PLACID (Steve Miner, 1999) ***
Despite being aware of the good reviews it garnered on its release, I never got to watch until now: a ‘B’ horror movie at heart, this is good old-fashioned entertainment (despite the new-fangled CGI effects). Considering Miner had helmed a couple of lame Friday THE 13TH films (which I’ve just watched, incidentally), this is a far more satisfying genre effort from him: engaging protagonists (best of all is flustered sheriff Brendan Gleeson, but Betty White’s eccentric character is also memorable – with the scene where she feeds a cow to ‘her’ crocodile verging on the surreal), good level of suspense, thrilling action, some gore, and there’s also a healthy dose of humor…though its attempt to lend gravitas to the main theme (with the crocodile considered a form of deity) doesn’t work. There have been few croc films, with the most notable examples being THE ALLIGATOR PEOPLE (1959) – which I’d love to rewatch, though I guess not enough to purchase Fox’s bare-bones DVD – and ALLIGATOR (1980; to which this compares quite favorably) – released as a SE by Anchor Bay UK, along with its straight-to-video sequel. By the way, while watching this I was reminded of another acquatic monster picture of recent vintage which I also missed out on – DEEP BLUE SEA (1999) – and I guess now’s as good a time as any to check it out…
