Movie Reviews

Matinee Magazine - 9/10 by Chuck RudolphBriskly paced and snappily written, it's the only movie currently in theaters that is completely free of pretensions.
Empire - 8/10 by Andrew CollinsA straightforward camping-holiday nightmare, or a sly, ironic take on the same. It works deliciously as both.
Compuserve - 8/10 by Harvey S. KartenFilled with just the right measure of special effects; has talk which is clever, witty, sharp, edgy.
Salon.com - 8/10 by Andrew O'HehirAs irritating as Lake Placid sometimes is, it also has an easygoing sense of fun, along with one of the more memorable movie monsters of recent years. The mismatched ingredients blend into a blissfully, stupidly surreal summer cocktail.
rec.arts.movies.reviews - 8/10 by David N. ButterworthBest of all it's got Pullman, Fonda, Platt, and Gleeson and it's very, very funny.
Film Journal International - 8/10 by Ed KelleherAn odd, derivative, but sporadically likeable film.
New York Times - 7/10 by Janet MaslinLake Placid could easily have been made as a PG-13 movie, or perhaps even a PG. But the better to tempt teen-age audiences, it talks its way into an R.
Film Threat - 7/10 by Ron WellsWhile we do get a bit of gore, the movie is really about this wacky bunch of people jumping on each other's nerves, kind of a zany hero's journey.
Kalamazoo Gazette - 7/10 by James SanfordInstead of wearing out its welcome with a dozen false endings like so many thrillers do, 'Lake Placid' simply shakes you up, lets you go and leaves you laughing.
Daily Dead - 7/10 by Heather WixsonA light-hearted monster movie that offers up plenty of laughs, Lake Placid is still a really fun and well-made creature feature that doesn't ever treat its characters- or the audience- like morons.
