![]() It grossed $56.9 million worldwide and was followed by five low-budget made-for-television sequels, starting with Lake Placid 2 in 2007. The film was distributed by 20th Century Fox and released in theatres in the United States on July 16, 1999, and in the United Kingdom on March 31, 2000. Lake Placid was produced by Fox 2000 Pictures and Stan Winston Studios (which did the special effects for the creatures) and principal photography was shot in British Columbia, Canada. In the film, a giant, 30-foot-long monstrous saltwater crocodile terrorizes the fictional location of Black Lake, Maine (there is a real, small Black Lake located in Fort Kent, Maine), the film also follows a dysfunctional group who attempt to capture or kill the beast. It is the first installment in the Lake Placid film series and stars Bill Pullman, Bridget Fonda, Oliver Platt, Brendan Gleeson, Betty White, Meredith Salenger, and Mariska Hargitay. This is hard to pull off, and not to be minimized.Lake Placid is a 1999 American horror film written by David E. There are so many BAD time wasting movies out there, so much violent, or inane, or vulgar, or sadistic junk that this tongue-in-cheek tale with its dotty characters and clever ending just has to be viewed as one of those times to sit back and smile broadly without guilt. What's not to like? I mean, who wouldn't want to save an alligator that's biting people in half in an unspoiled lake 25 miles from anywhere in the middle of Maine? Bill Pullman was fine but the least of it. Funny,with an absolutely hilarious performance by Betty White, an appealing Bridget Fonda (for the first time in memory), and very likeable Brendan Gleeson and Oliver Platt. Reviewed by cwpnewpaltz 7 / 10 A really good trashy movie I loved this dopey movie. Try it if you, for example, liked 'Love at First Bite' - you will probably like this too. More would change the tone of the film from the comedy which I enjoy, to one more of a gross-out nature. Contrary to what others have written - I think the special effects go just fine with the overall campy and comedy feel of the movie and the amount of gore is also appropriate. Betty White is building her career these days being the tart-mouthed old broad (see 'Boston Legal' - another David Kelley production).Īlso, the interplay between Oliver Platt and the actor playing the sheriff are priceless. Lake Placidįonda's line about the sarcasm being too subtle is great (while spraying RAID in the middle of Maine). Download Magnet Lake Placid (1999) 720p: 720p.
