After 8 years of a giant
crocodile terrorising country locals at
Lake Placid more were bred in the lake as
people are being eaten up by either
swimming or fishing there.
Sheriff Riley (John Schneider) who also
takes after his son Scott (Chad Collins)
goes on the hunt to kill two of them as
well as questioning a local there named
Sadie Bickerman (Cloris Leachman) since
she was a suspect for the last incident
that happened there before.
Scott meets up with a girl named Kerri
(Alicia Ziegler) and her smart ass
boyfriend Thad (Ian Reed Kessler) in
which they all hang out at the lake and
party out with their other friends but
suddenly they realise there's four other
crocodiles nearby after the other two
were killed in which they also find a
nest there with eggs.
One by one they are cornered and eaten up
and it's up to Sheriff Riley and his team
to try and rescue them from the grips of
these giant killer crocs.
A nice sequel in a
different direction this time and not as
good of a budget but still nicely done.
There's good father and son moments along
with your stupid everyday teenagers being
attacked by crocodiles along with the odd
jumping scene with the attacks.
Yet, the CGI effects are very cheesy
looking and not overly convincing enough
to top it all off.
The forestry still looked good as well as
the camera shots used in this film but
the story borrows a bit from Tobe
Hooper's Crocodile.
The acting is
pretty good as we get former Dukes
of Hazzard TV superstar and
country singer John Schneider
playing the lead as a Sheriff in the film
still proving he can play many different
roles and a great job he does with his
part in the film. He knew how to act
stern when he needed to be and very
caring too.
Sam McMurray really pulled his part
off well as a sarcastic and stubborn one
in the film showing great characteristics
to his role.
Chad Collins does a fine job as a
descent kid next door type of role with
his true energy and nice charms.
Alicia Ziegler really knew how to
bring out her fears and disturbed action
about it while being attacked by these
crocodiles as well as showing a nice
attitude to her role.
Ian Reed Kessler was a good
character actor playing a smart ass
rebelious type in the film making his
role come to life. He shows good
expressions and attitude too.
We've got a goofy performance by Justin
Uhrich playing a male shauvinist
plus was good with his creeped out
behavior acting like a big scared child.
He will always be remembered in his
performance.
Cloris Leachman this time takes on
the role as the crocodile feeder instead
of Bette Davis as she seems a
little more wicked which is a good thing
and brings on her comedic side just as
well too.
Two actresses played by
Yana Marinova and Zhasmina
Toshkova are skinny dipping in a
lake with their breasts fully exposed.
VJ Kewl takes off the top of her
bikini to sunbathe breasts totally
exposed.
People's arms are bitten
off
A head is chomped off
Some bodies are chewed up
David Flores is
quite cheesy with his direction for this
sequel but at the same time can pack a
punch too with the crocodile attacks.
He does show a good opening with the
camera's zooming over the lake and trees
as well as underwater too.
There's a good dialgoue between
supporting actor Robert Blush and
bit part actor Michael McCoy in
a raft fishing in a lake with the camera
zooming in towards them. There's a good
shot underwater with the camera zooming
in on McCoy's hand dabbling in
the water. It however looked cheesy when
he was quickly pulled in but it looked
great when he was bouncing out of the
water screaming with his hand bitten off.
There's also a good shot on Winkles
looking shocked with a piece of a hand
flying at him.
There's a corny scene with bit part
actresses Yana Marinova and Zhasmina
Toskova skinny dipping in a lake
with Vlado Mihaylov joining them
but they don't react too well when theyre
attacked by the crocodile.
We see a good dialogue between John
Schneider acting stern towards
Chad Collins getting fresh towards
him which looked like a good father and
son lecturing.
We have a good approach by Cloris
Leachman with Schneider
trying to talk to her about the crocodile
incidents as it looked quite comedic with
her actions.
There's a nice shot on supporting actor Terence
H. Winkles tying a crocodile's mouth
shut thinking it's asleep and then snaps
his arm off which makes you jump a bit
We have many good shots on Schneider,
Sarah Lafleur and Blush
on their boat searching around the lake
and then Blush falling into the
water. Plus there's a good cheesy effects
shot with the corcodile underwater coming
towards the boat and then breaking it
apart which looked truly suspenseful.
There's a good dialogue scene with Collins
near the forestry at the lake associating
with Alicia Ziegler and Ian
Reed Kessler and getting aquainted. Kessler
does well acting fresh towards him.
We have a good and dark comedic scene
with Leachman guiding supporting
actor Jonas Talkington going to
a pier so he can take pictures and Leachman
walking away with her words about getting
a snack meaning him being fed to the
crocodile along with a nice cheesy
effects shot on the crocodile gulping him
up.
We have some nice moments with Collins,
Ziegler, Kesler, Justin
Uhrich and VJ Kewl hanging
out near the lake and being sarcastic
looking like typical young people having
fun.
Uhrich does well swimming in the
lake and acting sexist while there's a
shot on the crocodile approaching towards
him with Kewl trying to tell him to get
out. We have a good attack scene with Kewl
being swallowed up and dragged in along
with Uhrich screaming and
freaking out.
There's nice shots on Collins, Ziegler
and Kesler discovering a
crocdiles nest with eggs and Collins
trying to tell Kesler to put the
eggs back fearing their danger as Kesler
does well acting like a jerk about it and
throwing one egg and breaking it along
with a good shot on him stomping on one.
We have a good shot on the crocodile
appraoching behind Kesler with
both Collins and Ziegler
telling him fearfully not to turn around.
Kesler reacts well to their
reactions by acting sarcastic towards
them and then does a great job falling
down after he spots the crocodile giving
it that good suspenseful direction.
Ziegler and Collins do well
running away as fast as they can and then
bumping into Urich as he does
well at whining and freaking out about
what happened to their friend.
There's a good shot on Urich
sleeping on a tree and then rolling down
falling to the ground. A good shot on him
lying on a crocodile with him suddenly
panicking and then the croc waking up
with a good shot on him being dragged
away.
Some nice shots on some crocodile's
cornering Collins and
Ziegler trying to figure out how to
get away.
A good and touching dialogue between Collins
and Schneider with Collins
wanting to help him worried that his
father will get killed and him convincing
that he'd never forgive himself if
anything happened.
Ziegler does well explaining to
Leachman about the crocodiles
attacking her as Leachman shows a
disturbed expression on her face which
gives you the impression that she will do
something nasty.
Leachman does well trying to trick
the two by going to the pier to fix a
lightbulb there and then she is great by
forcing Ziegler to look at
something in the lake and she trips out
with Collins panicking and
trying to save her.
There's many good battle sequences with Schneider
and Sam McMurray battling some
crocodiles in the woods with their guns
along with a great shot on McMurray
hanging upside down from a tree with a
crocodile ready to lunge at him.
Nathan Furst
composes some good violin playing in a
fast paced way with the crocodile
attacking during many scene's of the
movie. Plus there's the odd screeching
sound along with some cehhsy but fun
synthesizer music.
