Leave your thoughts about Lake Placid: The Final Chapter.
| Movie ChambersPaul ChambersYou know, I can't remember "Lake Placid 2″ or "Lake Placid 3," but here we are with the fourth-and-purportedly last film in the giant crocodile creature features. I feel like I've been eaten alive. |
| FEARnetScott WeinbergI've seen a lot worse "crocs run wild" movies than Lake Placid 4. (Best praise I got. Sorry.) |
| User ReviewChase MThe best one of all ties the story perfectly together |
| User ReviewRudy GA little better than the last two but some cgi was used! But other and all it was still good! |
| User ReviewGary MIt is about the same as the others. It was okay to watch but could of been better. |
| User ReviewAraiz AOne line summary: Better than 2 and 3; not as good as the original. ------------------ Reba from the third installment wakes up in the supermarket where the final bloodbath took place. A giant croc approaches her, but Reba lets it know who is the boss. Some time is elited. Reba is now working for the EPA, not entirely of her own volition (work for us or go to jail, that sort of thing). The new law is Sheriff Giove. Giove, Reba, and the 'tree hugger' Dennis capture a small croc for study using an anesthetic dart. They return to the shore and talk to the folks who are building and maintaining the electric fence around the lake. This includes Loflin. The professional poacher Jim Bickerman and cohorts approach the same point when fewer people are present, then break in to kill at least one croc. They beat up Loflin's son Max to get there. Giove sets up a chick flick night with her daughter Chloe, but Chloe goes off on a fun outing with a busload of other late teenagers. The bus goes through the gate opened by Bickerman and his allies. They tell ghost stories and have make out sessions. Giove, meanwhile, gets closer to Loflin. The next morning, the party group at the lake is missing a member, and they call the sheriff. The sheriff, Loflin, and Reba arrive at the now-closed gate, and talk things over with the engineer who closed it. They attempt to rescue the idiots, er, the party goers. During the process, they meet Dennis again, who was working on his project, and not at all helping the overall order of the proceedings. Will Loflin be re-united with his son Max? Will the sheriff and her daughter survive? Will there be enough crocs left over for Lake Placid: the Final Chapter, part II? ------Scores------ Cinematography: 8/10 Mostly quite good, but not the CGI. Sound: 7/10 The actors are well-miked, and the incidental music usually appropriate to the occasion whether it be creepy, foreboding, or pleasant. Acting: 6/10 Roehm, Butler, and Nichols were fine, as was England, though his role was on the short side. Benedict Smith, Daniel Black, and Ako Mitchell were not great, but were better than I expected. Screenplay: 5/10 The dialog was not great, but was much better than one usually gets in such films. The interconnections of the poacher with the first films was interesting, as was the connection of the poacher to the tree hugger. |
| User ReviewLuciano GThis movie 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.).. |
| User ReviewDavid KCheesy which was expected but not much of a storyline. Therefore not as exciting as those previous ones. |
| User ReviewMark James ABetter than the previous 2 straight to TV sequels but light years behind the excellent original! |
| User ReviewBruce BNowhere near as good for being so bad or as memorable as the last croc rampage committed to film. But at least as it's the final chapter lake placid's troubles should now be over...right? |
