Gives You the Good Stuff

A sci-fi channel flick with Bo Duke; before you even rent/watch the movie, that should tell you not to take the film too seriously. All too often in these creature features, you get jipped on the violence, gore, nudity, and creature effects. Too often, the creature is seen for a total of 47 seconds in the entire movie. None of those things can be said about Lake Placid 2. It's a B-movie with some horrible editing and acting--but it's got all of the stuff that makes a bad movie good. While the CGI isn't always that spectacular (they even had a cheesy CGI plane-landing), the crocs are on-screen just as much as the actors are, and the body count is surprisingly high. It loosely follows the story of the original, with Cloris Leachman in for Betty White (and, actually, she raises herself above the other performances in the film). It doesn't strike the horror/comedy balance of the first film at all, but this is more of a B-movie creature flick than a true sequel. Compared to other low-budget films in the same genre, this one actually manages to rise above most of the others out there, and gives you the good stuff along with the laughs.

A travesty on so many levels

I've come to expect very little out of the SciFi channel's made for TV movies, but this ranks tight alongside of "Babylon 5: Legend of the Rangers" as am egregious example of how SciFi's clueless network suits can prostitute a great work with an appallingly bad sequel.

I'm a great fan of the original "Lake Placid". David E. Kelly's writing in the original is among the sharpest of any film in memory. It had a delightfully witty script and excellent performances by talented actors. The characters were well textured without a stereotype among them.

By comparison, the script of this film is drek. Thre is almost no wit evident. It's trite and formulaic. The characters are all 2-dimensional stereotypes from central casting. The "special" effects were everything I've come to expect from SciFi channel movies - ham-fisted and amateurish.

I might have given this film a rating of 2 or 3, but for potentially tainting the reputation of the original, I give it a 1 - but only because there's no option to give it a zero!

Lake Rancid

For a Sci-Fi Channel production featuring a cast of has-beens and nobodies, this cheapo sequel to Steve Miner's fun creature feature Lake Placid begins deceptively well, with some nifty gore (a juicy spurting stump where an arm used to be) and some gratuitous nudity from a couple of soon-to-be-croc-fodder bimbos.

Lake Placid 2 soon flounders, though, when we actually get to see its terrible scaly monsters, which are rendered with such dreadful CGI that the film is rapidly dragged down to the murky depths and thrown into a death roll from which it could never escape.

Dukes of Hazzard star John Schneider plays Sheriff Riley, the small-town cop who must do battle with the four giant crocs that are feeding on anyone who should venture down to the water's edge at Lake Placid. Aided by tasty ex-squeeze Emily (Sarah Lafleur), and a big-game hunter armed to the teeth with heavy-duty firepower, the plucky lawman sets out to bag himself some reptiles before they make a meal out of his son, who has ill-advisedly gone camping by the lake with some friends.

Director David Flores' unimaginative sequel desperately attempts to emulate Miner's original, even going so far as to feature almost identical characters and narrative structure, but fails dismally on nearly all counts. Without a fraction of the original's humour, and way too many REALLY bad digital effects, Lake Placid 2 is one hell of a bad film. Even the fact that the lovely Lafleur strips to her undies for an underwater swim isn't going to convince me to rate this one any higher than a 3.
