The baby croc has grown up and is now a mean old croc that starts terrorizing a small town.
Honestly, LAKE PLACID 2 may be one of the worst movies I've ever seen, and believe you me, I've seen plenty of horrible flicks in my life. I can tell you right now at the start of this review that you should not come anywhere near this vile piece of trash. Yes, it is that bad and no, it has absolutely no redeeming qualites whatsoever. Ten minutes into the film I was feeling sick, I mean what the hell it should be illegal to make movies as bad as this one, and the further it went the more it sucked, and at the end... Jesus freakin Christ, let's just say it's so not worth the time. I did enjoy the original LAKE PLACID, it was entertaining, a bit campy and had some all right gore and action to offer. This sequel had none of that, and nothing else for that matter. The folks that wrote this movies should have all their fingers broken so they could never write anything again. No, I'm not kidding.
What bothers me the most is that films like this one are actually being released upon the world and as a horror fan you're bound to feel ashamed. People that normally do not watch horror flicks and stumble upon a flick like this may think that this is standard horror, and as a fan of horror, it makes you look like you have your taste up your arse. Anyway, this movie is filled with stupid and tired old clichés and you've seen everything that's in it about six hundred times before... at least. It starts off in such a obvious way; two bad actors sit in a boat, one is pulled down into the lake and we see some body parts floating around. Well that's just great, very creative, very inventive... I salute you screen-play writers, what a treat!
 
Ok so we have a big ugly croc in the lake, just like in the first film, nothing new there except only this time the croc really looks shitty to the max. Bill Pullman is nowhere to be found and is replaced by John Schneider. Why the hell would you wanna star in a film like this? He gives a crappy performance but on the other hand he doesn't have much to work with considering that the script and the dialogue in it is pure shit. All the other actors are terrible, some are easy to ignore but some of them just makes you wanna start breaking things. The idiots that wrote this film also tried to add a bit of slapstick into the pile of garbage they were puking up together but the comedy is just so bad it's actually hard watching it go down on screen without feeling sick and violated.
As for gore, just forget about it. There are so many flicks out there that has more to offer. You could actually stand in front of the horror section in your local video store, put a blindfold on, spin around ten times and then pick a movie at random and that film would kick this one's ass to the moon and back. That's how disgustingly shitty this little "film" is.
I hope I'll never have to sit through anything like this ever again. Thing is that most movies that are bad usually often have some little thing that could be considered positive but this one has absolutely nothing. Everyone involved in the making of this shitty film should never be allowed to work with movies ever again. Don't waste your time on this one folks.
