Lake Placid 2 (2007)
Semi-decent Sci-Fi Channel sequel to the excellent first film. Starring John Schneider and Cloris Leachman.
Pretty much identical in plot to the 1999 original, minus the all star cast and witty dialogue, Lake Placid 2 is let down by terrible CGI work. Adding an extra three crocodiles to the mix might have seemed a great idea in pre-production but the execution was really quite amateurish in places.
When you don't have a big special effects budget, more isn't always the best way to go about things. A pity as there are plenty of exploitative elements on show in an otherwise fun film.
