*LAKE PLACID* First Time Watching MOVIE REACTION

[@jenmurrayxo]

Like the video if you want to see more creature features! 🐍ANACONDA: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJ_GlHidfMepZ80 CREATURE FEATURE PLAYLIST: kzbin.info/aero/PLQHhQlj8i5dqsvAMw2bEvflH_PD5BIS-K

[@k.delpino1124]

A crossover exist. Lake Placid vs. Anaconda (2015). Made for the Syfy network. Although both series started in 1997, this was the 5th entry for each one. This was the precursor to the 'Killer animal vs. Killer animal craze.

[@KingOfGamesss]

14:29 you missed a great editing opportunity

[@nothernmonkey8612]

Did I mention that DEEP RISING is a great creature feature with a Stella cast

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

I loved your great reaction, Jen. Your creature feature double bill was excellent. I have to say that I really like Lake Placid out of the two the best, probably because I used to have a major crush on Bridget Fonda. Two great films with her in are, 'Single White Female' and 'The Assassin' both well worth reacting to.

[@insulaarachnid]

"Well they conceal information like that in books" . Best insult ever!

[@shainewhite2781]

RIP, Stan Winston, for bringing to life the giant animatronic crocodile for this fun comedy horror adventure film.

[@sharonjoan1970]

OMG One of my Favorites ❤😍❤ RIP Betty White😢

[@kieronball8962]

I prefer Lake Placid over Anaconda, but I love Jen's reactions to both horror films! :)

[@Downtime-33]

This movie was such a great surprise. Oliver Platt killed it. Super fun time.

[@jayeisenhardt1337]

[@RobFMDetroit]

Who would have guessed that Olivet Platt and Brendan Gleason would be one the best comedy duos ever 😂

[@russelturner5771]

Right!

[@Bradford659]

I had a thing for Bridget Fonda when I was a kid.

[@tomhoffman4330]

Me too...👍

[@JakkFrost1]

Oliver Platt is such an underrated actor, I've loved him in every single thing I've seen him in.

[@gregharker1600]

Filmed here in the Vancouver area. Friends worked on the film.

[@shadowvessel]

Hands down my favorite Betty White role🤘 I saw this in the theater and loved it. Great cast, great creature, great gore, and a great story. 😊

[@SonicLamb]

She was better in Hard Rain

[@shadowvessel]

@@SonicLamb Never seen it

[@Raven5150]

Bill Pullman can drive a Winnebago a fighter jet and a boat

[@tomhoffman4330]

Going to be sharing this Reaction with My Mom today, because We Both have always Loved this Movie...So Very Much!! So here's a Double-Thanks from Us...💕✌

[@MarkLloyd72]

Enjoyed both reactions but have always preferred Lake Placed over Anaconda, also if you are not worried about the age of films there's a comedy horror from 1978 called Piranha, that you may enjoy reacting to.

[@Wilmeiser]

Jen: I wonder who would win, the crocodile or the anaconda? Us that have seen the other movies: "Lake Placid vs Anaconda (2015)" might answer that question.

[@mwrench4185]

Lake Placid NY, set in Maine, filmed in Canada.

[@wesleyrodgers886]

😊fun movie.

[@grabtharshammer]

Out of the two films you watched, this is the better one. This one is funny

[@Minion_of_Cthulhu]

Great reaction Jen! I'm heading over to your Anaconda reaction now🐍 For a slightly (very slightly) more realistic creature feature, check out Arachnophobia (1990) starring Jeff Daniels and John Goodman. If you wanted to do another double feature, you could pair Arachnophobia with Eight Legged Freaks (2002), another spider themed monster movie with some comedy elements. The Mist (2007) is based on a Stephen King novella and has some rather nasty critters lurking in the mist of the title. The Descent (2005) combines cave exploration gone wrong with the creature feature genre. This one has two endings. Most people consider the original to be the better of the two. The original ending is in the UK edit while the second ending is in the US version. If you want to see one of the classics, Creature From the Black Lagoon (1954) is one of the Universal Horror films that started the whole genre.

[@trendpimp1]

The dialogue in this movie is what sets it apart from movies like Anaconda. This movie is genuinely funny and most of the performances were believable. The croc looked good (thanks to Stan Winston) and the movie didn't take itself too seriously. Anaconda had terrible VFX and some pretty questionable acting, what made it funny is that it took itself too seriously. (they thought they were making an actual scary movie). I gotta give Lake Placid a pretty decisive win in this match up but I loved both reactions and this was a fun afterwork treat!

[@paulonius42]

Agreed, I think if this is a good cheesy film while Anaconda is a bad cheesy film. There is nothing outrageously dumb or insulting to the audience's intelligence here, the performances are all exactly what they need to be, and it has Betty White, so Anaconda can't even begin to compete. Then again, Jon Voight is so bewildering in that movie...

[@alexkull24]

Man I love this movie since my childhood! I remember that on TV there were Sundays where they broadcast Lake Placid followed by Jurassic Park (1993) and ended with Godzilla (1998)!!! Epic! XD

[@natesmith7599]

This is such a fun movie, I’d forgotten a lot of the cast in this, just remembered Bill, Brigitte, and Betty just stealing the show. I’m going to have to rewatch the full movie again soon. Thanks for the great reaction!

[@michaelceraso1977]

yea pretty good cast, and BOY Bridget Fonda was fine looking back then, She has turned into a mess lately though.

[@clevelandcbi]

3:04 It's so WEIRD seeing Mariska Hargitay not being Detective/Captain Olivia Benson. Been playing her for 24 years now on SVU.

[@ashbysmith1723]

A double dose of Jen??? That is my idea of heaven.

[@davidcooks5265]

Lol 😜

[@jeffreyfoerster1415]

I'm glad you kept the Betty white scene in

[@surlycanadian]

‘Officer Fuckmeat” kills me every time.

[@jenmurrayxo]

🤣🤣

[@russelturner5771]

Classic.

[@Deckaio]

As for fun creature features movies (Late 90s), Deep Blue Sea and Deep Rising. Deep Rising especially is very underrated!

[@mikeschwab1943]

Deep Rising is a Great flick!

[@russelturner5771]

Agreed!

[@Fettman89]

The animatronic used in this was really that big, the end shot with it on the flatbed, that's the real animatronic, there's videos of them doing test runs with it to see how fast it could could go and it could actually propel itself through the water because of how much force the hydraulics in the tail section gave off, imagine seeing that shit lol, just a random lake with a crowd of people and a huge Crocodile swimming through the water. I'll throw in a suggestion for another creature feature it's called Congo, about discovering gorillas in the congo, and chaos ensues.

[@chefskiss6179]

Not putting this in the same category as Jaws, but even when this flick came out, the reviews were overwhelmingly positive, saying the last time characters in a creature-feature were so well rounded and written was Jaws. I love this flick. Thanks for another giddy watchalong, Jen.

[@lyndoncmp5751]

Jaws 2 had better written characters than this. Brody's paranoia in Jaws 2 was superior to anything in this. Just saying. 😉

[@mikeschwab1943]

​@lyndoncmp5751 I've always liked Jaws 2 more myself also lol

[@quailman]

This is one of my mom’s and my favorite films to watch together.

[@hissatsu4937]

Two creature features in a row. Great 👍 For more crocodile movies I recommend Primval and Rouge.

[@EllisThings]

Double Jen?! You're spoiling us! Both of these reactions were great, I needed this kind of goofy fun today. ARACHNOPHOBIA (1990) would be a good one with similar vibes to these. Also you mentioned THE MIST (2007), yes please do that one it's tremendous!

[@jimclayson]

Classic, and I'm really enjoying the Jen double feature format. This is one of those movies that everyone can watch and enjoy. It's like Doctor Pepper; it's rarely anyone's first choice, but it's on almost everyone's pick of top two or three and no one's disappointed with it.

[@CoffeeMatt10]

Well this is freaky, I’m reading your comment while drinking Dr Pepper 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Beardo2517]

Absolutely amazing creature design by Stan Winston studios.

[@jameslinham2733]

Bridget Fonda was a pretty big star in the 90’s. A couple of films you might want to check out are “Single White Female” from 1992 and “Point Of No Return”. (A.k.a. The Assassin) from 1993. This second film was a remake of the superb French film “La Femme Nikita” (or sometimes just “Nikita”) from 1990.

[@snbks4ever]

this MIGHT be better than Andaconda lmfao!!! Betty White is *chefs kiss*. What a movie

[@dabegmister]

Betty white has some amazing one liners.😂

[@mparantha]

I always loved the croc vs bear scene. it's a very popular trope where you have what is basically the top dog/apex predator completely destroyed by surprise.

[@dopeatcod7]

I'm so happy you reacted to both of these movies today, I grew up with them and you made my day a million times better ❤

[@CarolinaCharles777]

Okay Jen. I've made plenty of recommendations before. But I INSIST you also watch the Australian film ROGUE, about giant crocodile. It's amazing!

[@johnpittsii7524]

Hi Jen hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤

[@jenmurrayxo]

Thanks John you too

[@McCrispyTaco]

Such an underrated masterpiece

[@thejamppa]

This film knows exactly what it does and doesn't take it too seriously. A fantastic creature feature film!

[@Raven5150]

A really underrated Oliver Pratt movie is ready to rumble it has former real world world champion David arquette in it

[@JJ_Lloyd]

21:28... There's a Lake Placid sequel called "Lake Placid vs Anaconda" from 2015. It was a made-for-TV SyFy Channel movie, so don't expect too much. And yes... more creature features, please!

[@kd6558]

Rampage! That would be a fun reaction

[@Gohan2285]

so glad you reacted to this movie it's a guilty pleasure flick of mine I LOVE Betty White's character in this

[@kieronball8962]

Who is the real monster in this film? The Croc? Or Betty White?! :)

[@tomhoffman4330]

Good Question...👍

[@candicemonique5927]

Neither The Croc nor Betty are the monsters. The aholes trying to capture or kill him and stop her from taking care of him are the monsters. Just leave him alone.

[@REALAMERICANMAN531]

Yeeees!!!!!! Ms. JEN! hell yeah! 😊

[@mikebrown7799]

Hi Jen, "I'm back with nuclear weapons!"🙂I just realized that woman is Bridget Fonda, Jane Fonda's niece. She was pretty good in Quentin Tarrantino's "Jackie Brown" (1997). Damn it Bill Pullman, you were the President in "Independence Day"! Take charge, man! Brendan Gleeson (Sheriff Hank) was in the Harry Potter films. Aha, Betty White is the bad guy.😉I knew it wasn't the poor crocodiles fault. The poor animal is just trying to get a ride out of there. Great reacts to your second creature double feature, Jen!!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@UncleCharlie111x2]

Love the ending shot with the Croc on the highway! She is always laid back regardless of movie genre!

[@kieronball8962]

For more Creature Feature movies, might I recommend The Thing From Another World, The Quatermass Xperiment and Deep Rising.

[@Deckaio]

Deep Rising is such a fun movie, very underrated!

[@michaelriddick7116]

LETS GO!! Betty White for the MF'ING WIN!!! 🤣😂🤣😂🫡🫡🫡💗🥰🥰🥰 #RiP 💔😭😭

[@Aurochhunter]

“He seemed to be taller. 😊

[@tarzapopohead]

for the best jump scare movie I recommend ARACHNOPHOBIA with John Goodman and Jeff Daniels for Halloween.

[@UnlicensedOkie]

For a second I was like Holy crap we get two monster movie reactions in one day Then I realized they were both Jen Hell yeah

[@RichardM1366]

Lake Placid is a great one! The suspense and the expectation of something rising out of the water every minute keeps you on the edge of your seat! Make sure have a big gun!

[@lou6454]

Two Jens in one day ?!? Doesn't get any better than this ! You discovered another movie rule , little or no lines .... Death ! So the next time you visit a beach it will be through a telescope , I'm guessing . You're the best , Ms. M

[@logann7942]

Excellent choices for creature features. I always loved this one.

[@jamielandis4308]

I frikkin LOVE this flick! Brendan is great in this.

[@hinesmaster99]

Awesome 2 my favorites

[@blortmeister]

Such a "monster" cast! And they just killed it.

[@rdramos13]

"BEAR!" "Croc vs Bear!" "Oh my God, he ate a BEAR!!" - Jen Murray Hi Jen 🙋‍♂️ A daily double Jenaganza!! Two Jen's for the price of one!! This movie, like Independence Day, is one I always seem to leave on tv when it's showing. Yes they made multiple sequels, but they're not even close to the same production value. Tremor's also has lots of sequels, but follow the same formula, not very good. As for some more creature features, Arachnophobia (1990), or it's lighter cheesier version 8 Legged Freaks(2002). Also Snakes on a Plane (2006) with Samuel Jackson. Speaking of Samuel, he also did another creature feature Deep Blue Sea (1999). Oh yeah and Godzilla, the original (1954) or new (2014). Thanks for the double shot of Jennisms 🙋‍♂️🍾🥂🍾

[@andrewrowland6086]

I love this movie. Betty White is a treasure.

[@simongeoghegan9842]

The Edge staring Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin man vs nature and a real big grizzly bear☹️thanks for this classic.👍💓🇬🇧

[@josephmayo3253]

Betty White is a treasure. Another good reaction Jen. Loved the Creature Double Feature. Another series for you to try is The Killer Tomatoes. Your ability to embrace the silliness and cheese makes me sure you'll have fun. As a bonus for you, one of them has a young George Clooney.

[@LordVolkov]

"Are they attracted to panic motion, like sharks?!" Crocs can see fairly well, and even underwater (but much less clearly) thanks to a membrane that slides over their eyes. Even if you stay still, they will know where and what you are ("He wants man-flesh!" 🤣🤣🤣). They are very cool predators, but very scary.

[@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935]

They do have sensors similar to sharks. And are attracted to splashing the same.

[@MrStyn-ud3bj]

Eight-Legged Freaks & Slither are 2 of my favorite creature flicks.

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

Oh, man, I've heard some shocking stories from people who scuba dive in dammed rivers and reservoirs, about the things living there. The one that scares me the most involves the phrase "Catfish the size of a Volkswagen."

[@Fettman89]

Watch River monsters, there are absolutely catfish that big IRL, look up Wells Catfish and Meekong Catfish, stuff of nightmares.

[@Mrvwcc11]

Maybe it’s not a croc. 😂😂😂😂 That was priceless.

[@Raven5150]

The sheriff had no pants or his holster but had his gun

[@martin43427]

Definitely recommend Deep Blue Sea. Probably the second best shark movie behind Jaws and it’s got a killer cast ensemble and great creature feature vibes.

[@TarlaPrettyPaws]

I haven't seen anyone react to this before, it's a fun little gem of a creature feature (my favorite type of movie). I'm subscribed because you chose this movie

[@stephenlackey5852]

Seveeeerrrrely underrated gem of a movie movie

[@dabegmister]

I used to love this movie. Had a big crush on the main character woman when I was a kid. I have this movie and the anaconda movie on v h s

[@Eddie53172]

Haha 😹 amazing, two is always better than one ☝🏽 😊 kinda like a classical drive-in 🎭 I was there for the twister 🌪️/nutty professor debut in Alberta. There was a literal lightning storm on during twister 😳 still the most amazing storm I’ve ever seen too ⛈️ 👀 anyways, thx for the quick escape from reality 🤗

[@hinesmaster99]

Since your doing creature double features I suggest The Relic & Deep Rising

[@origami-unicorn]

For an obscure creature feature, try "Razorback" (1984), directed by Russell Mulcahy (best known for "Highlander"), starring Gregory Harrison, Arkie Whiteley, and Bill Kerr. "Godless vermin. It's only got two states of being - dangerous or dead."

[@Ian-xx1xb]

Watched the full anaconda reaction on patreon but wanted to save this one for KZbin to you know help with your algorithm Jen 🎉 if this is anything like your anaconda reaction this is going to be a blast 😃

[@jenmurrayxo]

Thank you! :)

[@LavadaHall-n4t]

Rest in peace Betty White

[@TheMadMurf]

Hmmm, another creature feature suggestion: Deep Blue Sea. Great reaction on both films!

[@Raven5150]

Betty white used to be Betty grey until she fought the balrog and got all that xp

[@Ian-xx1xb]

😂 a fun rewatch this your nervous twitching, freaking out and jumping at the jump scares was hilarious 😆 not to mention your jen pose with your hands 🙂 these not to be taken to serious and just have a fun tine movies are great and your reactions to them are always brilliant jen 🔥💙 a fun time to begin the week cheers jen

[@lordflashheart3680]

Love this movie, it has it all! 😀

[@Lewdicrous]

Dunno if you'll read this, but if you enjoyed this you should check out the movie Rogue! It's another croc based movie, a bit more grounded, but still campy. It's very good!

[@JC-ke7mj]

That was great! Thank you!

[@stephenlackey5852]

I saw the thumbnail, I heard you saying the title in my head, “The CARNAAAAAGE!!!”

[@swimintherain86]

croc vs anaconda is in a later lake placid!!!!!

[@Mrvwcc11]

I like your catchphrases creature feature it’s very catchy

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

Crocs can perform a sudden, short burst of speed, clocked at around 48 km/h. It's usually a very short distance and in a straight line, because the maneuver produces a lot of lactic acid in the muscles, causing them to cramp up, until their circulation can carry away the waste acid. I'm vague about the 'short distance' deliberately, because I feel like if I have a croc lunging at me, I don't stop running until MY legs cramp.

[@michaellueneburg2261]

Great reaction! Very fun movie!Betty white is a legend! Hearing her curse like that is never not funny!!!

[@Raven5150]

Crocodiles can go into fresh water they been known to swim miles up rivers, in America alligators have been found as far north as new york

[@mikerhodes8454]

A good movie to check out would be Deep Blue sea. shark movie, but unfortunately for Dr. Evil, they don't have lasers attached to their heads.

[@PaulSchneider-qp1mu]

[@GaryBrownlee-do4pj]

Great reaction Jen, as for another creature feature try The Relic out or Deep Blue Sea, Snakes On A Plane and Anaconda Hunt For The Blood Orchid.😊
