Lake Placid 2

Man-eating crocodiles return with less bite and more CGI in a sequel that leans into camp but struggles to recapture the original’s charm.

• A trio of crocs—two males and one fiercely protective female—drive the chaos, tipping into predictable creature feature territory.
• Practical effects give way to noticeable CGI, undermining the visceral thrills fans expect from swamp horror.
• Betty White’s return is the sole thread to the original, but the rest of the cast fails to anchor the story or deliver memorable performances.
• Best suited for viewers who appreciate low-stakes, goofy creature flicks and don’t mind a sequel that’s more “Lake Placid but worse.”
