Synopsis

The sequel to the 1999 cult movie Lake Placid finds the inhabitants of the sleepy town that was previously terrorised by a giant crocodile battling against several more of the mutant beasts.

When a man is eaten alive by an unknown creature, the local Game Warden teams up with a paleontologist from New York to find the beast. Add to the mix an eccentric philanthropist with a penchant for "Crocs", and things go awry. Suddenly the town's quiet, remote lake is the focus of an intense search for a crocodile with a taste for live animals...and humans.

This film is really bad, cheesy b movie with pointless parts the girls naked on the beach..purely put there to make the film appear a bit better,if your tempted to buy this,buy it expecting a laugh!
Its honestly that bad its funny,all we seemed to do was comment on how bad the special effects were and how stupid the acting was. But then again it was expected lake placid 1 was okay but number 2 was bound 2 be a rip off of the first one!
Cheesy crap film but so bad its good lol.

Lake Placid was a great film but sadly this sequel fails to deliver anything even remotely as enjoyable or entertaining.

Nothing seems that different to the first movie. It's the same idea of mutant beasts in the same sleepy town. We have been given different actors, but playing pretty much the same roles. Actually when I think about it, the word actors is the wrong word as these people really suck in their roles. But seriously Lake Placid 2 is laughable (and not in the good way) at best and utter dire at worst. The special effects look like...well they are just completely hopeless, cheap and again dire. The script, the plot, and dialogue stinks. This is obviously just an attempt to cash in on the first film which is a real shame as this sequel could have been so good and so successful.

So, overall this movie really is one to avoid. Your time but more importantly your money deserves more than this.

And I only gave it One Star because we can't give any less.

Okay, it's a tired rehash of the first (and extremely enjoyable) "Lake Placid," with different actors plopped into almost the exact same roles with new character names. Plus some topless females and obnoxious teenagers thrown in. And some less-than-stellar CGI stuff. Rent it if you must to satisfy your morbid curiosity of how bad it really is, but you'd be better off with the original "Lake Placid" or "Primeval" / "Primeval Kill" (the exact title of the second film depends on which country you live in) as the superior films in the Giant Crocodiles Eating People genre. It IS a good film to mock while watching with your friends (a hobby known as MSTifying to the cognoscenti). Otherwise, avoid this stinkburger.

And what is with these giant croc films and the dogs that have to escape being eaten?!! This is the second giant croc film I've bought within a month that has a supposedly endearing dog being put into reptilian danger only to escape at the last second for the inevitable "feel-good" moment. "ID4" has a lot to answer for with that blasted golden retriever. If I ever meet Dean Devlin and/or Roland Emmerich in person, I'll burst their eardrums with my ranting on the subject.

I was really tempted to give it 5 stars...

For sheer entertainment value, I loved the first movie and while I didn't expect much from this I did expect a little better. It is shockingly bad but get a few mates around and take the mickey and you may have some fun with it, that's how I "enjoyed" it.
The leading man was obviouslt cast for his resemblance to Russell crowe, the kind that exists only if you are drunk. The Acting is off such a low level it makes the average episode of hollyoaks look like an oscar winner. dont get me started on the vanishing CG plane.

Absolutely Awful!!!!

This film qualifies as the WORST FILM I HAVE EVER SEEN and believe me I have seen some stinkers in the past.

The most memorable scene is four people hiding behind a very small bush from a 20ft crocodile.

The special effects are so appalling they look like I've done them on my very old laptop. As for the "actors" I can only guess that they won their parts in the film in a raffle.

Only rent this film for comedy purposes.
