David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
...just another needless direct-to-video horror sequel.

Imagine your I.Q. oozing out of your ears like the pus of popped pimple and you have some small idea of what sitting through this is like. I wondered about global problems and my own place in the grand scheme of things ... would the aliens finally arrive and find my shriveled remains fetidly decaying in front of a hunk of plastic and electronics with this DVD as my last will and testament? I shuddered as their screeching laughter filled my dank apartment.
I did like Yancy Butler though.

Third entry in the Lake Placid series is yet an unimpressive rehash of old ideas. The film suffers from a bad execution of story. And a bad cast. I felt that by this point, the franchise didn't even try to do something refreshing. I also felt that Lake Placid should've been a stand alone film with no sequels. This is yet another failed attempt at cashing in on an original title. This a poor straight to DVD title and it shows. The film is lazy, and there's nothing creative about it. The film is a complete waste of time, and it doesn't have anything new or original. The film is standard straight to DVD crap, and it doesn't do anything to thrill the viewer. Lake placid 3 is a total piece of crap from start to finish, a poorly executed film with poor directing and acting, and above all, storyline. When looking for recycled ideas for a film, look no further than Lake Placid 3. This film is much uninspired and adds nothing new to a film that should never had any sequels in the first place. I hope they never make any more sequels to this tired out franchise, as the sequels were crap, and the first was average. A pointless and awful third film that everyone should avoid. A film not worth seeing. Stick with the first film, at least that one was entertaining, but this one suffers from a lazy scrip and poor acting, and it shows.

If you saw the 2nd film then you know what to fear in this 3rd installment. As with most direct to DVD low budget horror sequels, expect bad acting, more gore and nudity. This cast line up does have a few familiar faces in it but the acting is pretty hammy. The biggest surprise was Roxanne Pallett who was in a mainstream English soap drama for 3 years, followed by a few reality shows, shows up at the start in her first film appearance. She lasts just long enough to get totally naked, show everything before being eaten! What a waste. She doesn't even make the cast listing above.
The cgi effects for the crocs and blood is really poor. Despite all that it probably just about surpasses the 2nd film, at least the story line this time has a bit more action. One for the low budget horror fans to laugh at!

If you're in the mood for a third rate croc movie, you can do a LOT worse that Lake Placid 3. Yancy Butler & Michael Ironside make this C grade flick worth watching and make it far superior to the previous sequel LP2.

Opens with some titillation and then goes straight downhill. Don't bother.

I see the CGI effects in this movie were so unbelievably poor. The crocodiles were among the crappiest CGI creatures I have seen in a long, long time. The intentions were good, but the effects were so lousy. The acting, well it was wholeheartedly attempted, and actually most weren't too shabby.
There has scenes of full frontal nudity like the following horror films at the first time in this <i>Lake Placid</i> series.
I bet they will never, ever made a <i>Lake Placid 4</i>.

Fun horror sequel. I've only seen half the first and haven't seen the second but that doesn't matter as this is just switch ya brain off horror fun. Its actually not as bad as i thought it would be. For those who haven't heard of these films, massive alligators kill people and look pretty bad, CGI wise but that doesn't matter as you know what to expect! Fans of soap fittie Roxanne Pallet might want to check this out to as she gets totally naked!
