When a man is eaten alive by an unknown creature, the local Game Warden teams up with a paleontologist from New York to find the beast. Add to the mix an eccentric philanthropist with a penchant for “Crocs”, and here we go! This quiet, remote lake is suddenly the focus of an intense search for a crocodile with a taste for live animals…and people!

"Black Lake, Maine A lake, in beautiful, picturesque Maine. Perfectly quiet, and peaceful. Why you wouldn’t want to visit: A not-so-serene lake with a huge problem. It’s a beloved nesting ground for giant crocodiles."

"A gloriously entertaining horror comedy with Bill Pullman, Bridget Fonda, Oliver Platt and Brendan Gleeson as a mismatched group hunting for a giant crocodile who is eating his way through Lake Placid. The film's strength lies in the banter of the four leads while the horror is in the same vein as Jaws. while it's not a patch on Spielberg's 1975 shark thriller, this has plenty to enjoy and no matter how silly it gets, the cast keeps it refreshingly fun."

"27.3. (DVD) Jostain syystä tyttökulta Betty White kasvattaa krokotiileja Mainessa, ja syöttää niille lehmiä. Paikalle hälytetään krokotiileja Jumalana pitävä jannu, koska Bill Pullman näyttää vielä suhteellisen onnelliselta. Olin myös yllättynyt, kuinka paljon tässä oli gorea. Huumoripuoli ei toiminut minulle, koska tykkään enemmän tahattomasta komediasta. Mainittakoon vielä, että itse kroko oli mallikkaasti tehty."
