This movie begins with two hikers venturing into the Black Lake Wildlife Area and deciding to go for a swim. They are quickly devoured by hungry crocodiles. The scene then shifts to a young married couple by the names of "Nathan Bickerman" (Colin Ferguson) and "Susan Bickerman" (Kirsty Mitchell) taking up residence in a small cabin by the lake with their young son named "Connor" (Jordan Grehs). As it so happens Nathan is a zoologist employed by the Black Lake Wildlife Area while Susan works in real estate for the nearby town. This leaves Connor frequently alone or with a babysitter named "Vica" (Bianca Ilich). However, he manages to relieve his boredom by feeding some nearby animals which he adopts as pets. What he doesn't understand is that these crocodiles will happily stay in the vicinity near the cabin as long as they are fed. It's when they aren't fed that they become dangerous to anybody who happens to venture into the area. And soon there are plenty of people who do just that. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this movie suffered from the same problems that plagued the last film. Specifically, the director (Griff Furst) tried to mix comedy with both action and horror in the same manner as his predecessor (David Flores) and pretty much attained the same result—only a little worse. Likewise, the decision to showcase several crocodiles for the sake of more action instead of focusing on just one or two really scary creatures and greater suspense also dampened what could have easily been a decent horror film. But apparently cheap laughs were more important. For those reasons I have rated the film accordingly. Below average.

I was kind of 50/50 on what to think of this! I just watched with an open mind! It had a more slower paced & for the first time, a different opening to the Lake Placid Franchise! It starts a couple who go skinny dipping in the lake & as usual an attack takes place! This time 4-5 baby Crocodiles attack the couple in the most embarrassing way before gnawing on them & killing them! 2 Years later & the crocodiles have turned into adult crocodiles! The young boy keeps feeding them meat from their house & also steals from the supermarket in order to feed them!The kills were abit cut out in the film & the bloody graphics were almost as good as Lake Placid 2! The graphics, AKA, CGI was cheaply done just like the previous film! The Crocodiles looking unrealistic & the attacks looking fake with several rending errors noticeable with the cheap CGI! Like the biting effects looked really fake & not meaty or even realistic! The film consists of Teens who go camping (& Yes you guessed it! Strip naked & change into bikinis which is slightly different but all the same! Seen it all & done it all! In other words!), some hunters including an over-her-head hunter, Reba! Including the family, babysitter & the son who was feeding the Crocodiles!The ending on the other hand with the petrol station was pretty good! Liked how the crocodile exploded into blood & guts by foolishly eating the petrol nozzle with petrol coming out!To say the least! I liked this film as much as the second, the second which I thought was just a tiny abit better for some reason! This one having abit more of a slower approach! It makes me wonder were all the Crocodiles come from in these sequels! But I was in 2 minds in what rating to give this film, so 9/10

I enjoyed Lake Placid 1. The first sequel was quite bad and I would have expected the third attempt of this series to be much better with all the special effect arsenal at disposal.What a disappointment. The story is terrible, the acting is under par and the special effects are the worse I have ever seen. The reptiles are so unreal. You can see through because the special effect is so bad. The story line makes no sense. The actors are just beginners and I would have never chosen them at all. In fact, if I had been the producer, I would have cut all cost after watching the first 5 minutes of this appalling piece of acting. What a waste of time this movie is. If there was possible to put a 0 star, this would have been my choice.

I give the movie a 5, simply because of acting and the storyline. The acting is very well done. The special effects are what detracts from the overall experience, however, there are small occasions where they are decent, nothing Mr. Spielberg or J.J. Abrams would have though. All the women in the movie are easy on the eyes. Me, personally, I have always had a thing for Yancy Butler, something about those eyes, they are so captivating.A spoiler follows: It is left open at the end for a Lake Placid 4, so, hopefully someone will re-vamp it and throw more money to it to get it to rate a 7(or higher) in my book.
