Best movie of this year hands down!

Excellent but underrated film

A Disappointing Continuation

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

The Lake Placid franchise meets the Anaconda franchise and let's be honest they are both pretty poor so no high expectations here. However, having just sat through this on TV, I actually thought it wasn't too bad - for a bad movie. Girls in bikinis, plenty of corny one-liners, cheap & silly CGI (though I have seen MUCH worse), Eastern Europe standing in for the US, Yancy Butler as the gravel voiced but sexy Sheriff and horror legend Robert Englund. Yes, it's a million miles from his Elm St stuff but I've seen him in worse than this. As Syfy movies go it's not too bad & if you want 90 minutes of simple, silly entertainment then put your brain in neutral & give it a look.

I'll just start with a big wow. Like, the overall badness of this movie just stunned me. I was truly astonished. Mind = blown. Honestly, I didn't expect much to start with but I was just blown away by how little I should've expected. Just watch it to revel in how bad it is, soak up the glorious lack of talent and creativity. If only there was as much originality as there was gore, this would've had a much better rating. It is horrendous. The special effects are, well, special. They're a special kind of bad. Now this would've been acceptable if the movie was made a few years back but 2015, seriously? The equipment must've been ancient. The only way this would've been slightly okay is if the creatures were actually created by a bunch of 5 year olds experimenting in graphics for the first time. As for the acting, it's mind-numbing. Honestly, it made me feel like I had a chance to be in a movie and my acting is crap. They just didn't pull it off well, at all. The tones, pitches and gestures were weak. The overall performance was lacking. It just made the already ridiculous film seem more fake. Pretty much every cliché under the sun was used in this. The only thing I'm proud of is that they didn't have one of those tiresome romances. If you want a good laugh, watch it with a group of sarcastic friends. They're bound to have a field day with this. I feel like the story-line, although grossly unoriginal, would've been tolerable if everything else wasn't so crap. But it was, so it is. It's impressive just how bad it is. Like I was expecting it to be bad, but wow, it amazed me just how bad it was. It's one of those things you can watch on a bad day and it'll cheer you up because it'll remind you that your life still isn't as bad as the acting and special effects in this movie.

This movie is hilarious. It's a horror film and it shouldn't be hilarious but yes it is. The performances are very very bad, the special effect are the worst I have ever seen, and as for the story, is something that you have also seen many times before. The most of the scenes are awful, disgusting, moreover are predictable and with many... tits - boys will really enjoy them. I have the feeling that "Lake Placid vs. Anaconda" will be continued and that is the only thing that scares me about this movie. But the silver lining is that you can have a lot of fun -because it is so bad that makes you laugh with all your heart.

A giant crocodile from "Black Lake" is captured by muscle-bound Stephen Billington (as Beach) and hook-armed Robert Englund (as Jim Bickerman). This is so a team of scientists can experiment on crocodile and snake DNA. The animals escape and begin to eat people. Six miles away, the attacks continue in "Clear Lake". Fish and wildlife officer Corin Nemec (as Will "Tull" Tully) from "Clear Lake" teams up with "Black Lake" sheriff and neighbor Yancy Butler (as Reba) to investigate...This Syfy TV movie combines three concepts; we have the "Lake Placid" series, the "Anaconda" spin-offs and the "vs" match-ups. This story is not three times as good, however. This is average fare. "A.B. Stone" and writer Berkeley Anderson have the most fun with a couple of secondary items. First, clumsy deputy Oliver Walker (as Ferguson) is good comic relief. Second, there is a generous amount of screen time given to beautifully-proportioned young women in tight-fitting bikinis.*** Lake Placid vs Anaconda (4/25/15) A.B.
