This second sequel to the excellent monster movie Lake Placid seeks to replicate the formula - giant alligator eats people. In doing so it gives us multiple alligators, a cast where the highest profile name is Yancy Butler, location work (and crew and extras) based in Bulgaria - or to be more precise a single location in Bulgaria - and a script which consists of several groups of people running aimlessly around while the alligators pick them off one by one.Oh, and CGI alligators which are completely unconvincing. It's not that they are badly animated, they just don't fit into the background plates at all.There are some pretty girls in bikinis or less, which helps. But not enough.

'Lake placid 3' surely delivers what it promises: horror. I don't think there's any need to review more. Yet I have to do so, to fill up the space granted by IMDb. OK, there we go: when we leave the horror out for a second, 'Lake placid 3' offers a coherent story, acted out by less-than-mediocre actors & actresses. Its shooting equals this qualification; for instance, one can clearly see that the computer did insert the attacking crocodiles into this film's picturing.'Lake placid 3's plot is supported by some nudity, too. Whatever, all these gadgets are swept away by its awesome horror. In this respect 'Lake placid 3' is a very good film.

My God, a third one. At least this one is a TV movie. Colin Ferguson of "Eureka" plays a game warden who moves his family to Lake Placid. His son comes across baby crocs and begins feeding them. Before you know it, they have grown quite large and eat a poodle and then lots of people. Two crocs lay siege to the warden's home and its man versus supercrocs. Ferguson, who is so likable on "Eureka,' here is a cardboard cutout, as are Michael Ironside as a sheriff and Yancy Butler as a game hunter. The crocs are the usual SyFy Channel bad CGI. Some halfway decent gore, but no cigar for this absolutely unnecessary sequel. Shot in Bulgaria!

Silly second sequel to Steve Miner's original from 1999, this time about over-sized CGI-crocodiles eating a bunch of topless women with Michael Ironside, Colin Ferguson and a hard-boiled Yancy Butler out to slay the beasts. They're not really successful at this, resulting in a lot of casualties. The film's pretty much so dumb it becomes fun. Almost thankfully, it takes itself less serious than the previous installment, 'Lake Placid 2' (2007). The opening-scene of 'Lake Placid 3' features full frontal female nudity and sex on a muddy beach that ends in a croc-munching death of the couple. At least somebody knew what kind of film they were making.
