In order to keep the unique crocodiles away from the nearby town the Army Corps of Engineers has built an electric fence all around the lake to contain them. However, this doesn't deter a crazy poacher by the name of "Jim Bickerman" (Robert Englund) from assembling a small crew of men and then sneaking past the guard at one of the gates to get inside the containment area. Sure enough, he and his men soon find their dangerous prey—or should I say their dangerous prey finds them? Meanwhile, due to the carelessness of the guard the gate is accidentally left open and a bus en route to another nearby lake accidentally takes a wrong turn. Once again the crocodiles are more than happy to meet their acquaintance. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film pretty much followed the same standard format as its predecessors and subsequently suffered as a result. The by-the-numbers plot lacked suspense and the animation was pretty much hit-or-miss as well. As a matter of fact, about the only good thing about this movie was the presence of Elisabeth Rohm (as "Sheriff Giove) but even then her performance was enough to bring this movie up to a respectable level. As such I have rated this movie accordingly. Below average.

Terrible acting, terrible graphics, terrible storyline. They should have stopped after the first movie, but this one is by far the worst. What a waste. You can predict everything that is going to happen and when it will happen. This has to be the worst movie I have ever watched. I wanted to turn it off after the first ten minutes but I was holding out hope that it would get better. Spoiler alert: A lot of people die and there is a lot of fake blood. The "protagonists" live and the "antagonists" die. If you really have nothing better to do for 90 minutes and want to think that this movie will be good, then go ahead, watch it. But that's 90 minutes of your life that you will never get back.

I watched this movie just a half hour back on TV, which is what medium the movie was made for. And it is worth just that. First off, definitely better than Lake Placid 3, and a lot more fun. Many hotter chicks in this one and Reba is definitely bearable in this one compared to 3. The discontinuity in the movie is mind-boggling. The corny dialogues and predictable plot makes it boring towards the end, but I watched the movie just for the hot (and boring) Poppy Lee Friar, who plays Chloe in the film. I could envision this film being remade in Bollywood, which goes to show how crappy this movie is. The cast in IMDb should be increased to include the hot chick at the end because I was definitely interested in her. A lot of times throughout the movie, they've shrouded the sets with what appears to be fog (pretty sure it's dry ice) which gives the movie a depressing feel. The crocodiles throughout the movie are a bag of fun, with the horrible CGI making it an enjoyable experience for me. I enjoy such crappy movies if it has hot actresses, and I definitely enjoyed this one.

At the end of the third film we are left to assume the feisty "cougar" Reba is dead- This is not the case. The fourth film opens with her having survived the attack and now working with the local authorities to contain the vicious reptiles. Enter the new sheriff of the city, her daughter and a ruthless, out for himself poacher played by Robert Englund of Freddy Krueger fame.This film is better than the standard SyFy fare, and as for the franchise better than parts 2 and 3. Yancy Butler is once again an entertaining and ass kicking force. If you suffered through the last 2 sequels then give this one a chance because as far as entertainment value goes it's way beyond the previous offerings (except of course the first.)
