Scream Factory takes a dip in LAKE PLACID (review)

A thirty foot eating machine lurks in the placid waters of Black Lake, eating unsuspecting man and beast.  When a sheriff, a game warden, a paleontologist, and a kooky professor set out to trap and kill the monster, they may end up being its next meal.  Bill Pullman, Bridget Fonda, Oliver Platt, Brendan Gleeson, Meredith Salenger, and Betty White star in this memorable horror comedy from ALLY McBEAL's David E. Kelly and FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2's Steve Miner, with creature effects by Stan Winston.
