superb.........
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. |
