  • superb.........

    Rated - 5.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    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 content.

    well worth renting out.

    There's no bloody action in it!

    The ENTIRE film is based around a dappy mare & her toy-boy thing.

    A few snaps, but for the love of Christ, I'd have to be pissed to watch this again

    A cracking little horror film this, with snappy dialogue, quirky characters and the requisite number of jump out of your seat moments. Obviously concocted with tongues firmly in cheeks, this harks back to the 1950's creature feature films. Everyone involved plays it straight, which makes it even funnier, but it has truly suspenseful moments as well. If you like horror movies with some wit and panache, and aren't too bothered about blood and gore I think you will enjoy this. One of the few horrors I've watched more than once and still enjoy.
