Movie

Lake Placid

1999 · 82 min

A goofy, gory creature feature with snappy banter and a gleefully absurd streak.

Tagline: You'll never know what bit you.
Overview: 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 here we go! This quiet, remote lake is suddenly the focus of an intense search for a crocodile with a taste for live animals...and people!
