Cocodrilo: capítulo final

There's nothing new in this movie. Same plot and same stupid fake croc!

TV movie, originally shown on Syfy, and the fourth (although not actually final) entry in the Lake Placid series. We get Yancy Butler reprising her role from the previous movie (a seriously retconned death! 😂), Elisabeth Rohm (late of Law & Order), a couple of British ex-soap 'stars' - plus a handful of British and Bulgarian (where it was filmed) models, whose main purpose seems to be losing their bikini tops. Oh, there's Robert Englund.

Very low budget, poor CGI, with a story that does little more than simply string together some croc attacks and bloody deaths. Yancy Butler (good to see her again) is actually pretty badass, and the best thing in it, and Robert England always makes a good 'despicable excuse for a human being'. Otherwise, the performances are pretty poor. Okay for background watching, but not worth making a point of seeing. 4/10.

This movie is so bad it becomes comical, hence why I can give it a vote well above the lowest possible. Also there are some half decent special effects. The story is nonsense about zombie crocodiles attacking people especially a group of students who have gone to the wrong beach. The acting is atrociously bad. Whoever directed or edited this film seem to have the continuity all over the place as at one time a rescue team is in a park then suddenly on a motor boat. The scariest thing about the film is the actress Yancy Butler, and almost all the players in this film are laughable and the longer this movie goes on the more I was cheering for the crocodiles.

4/10.

Stumbled upon this cinematic gem this morning by chance and was I pleasantly surprised. The effects were absolutely horrible when it came to the crocs but in a good way. I imagine this would have aired on SCIFI aside from the profanity and brief nudity. Overall I would recommend if you got some time to kill or find your insomnia acting up.

It is, by no means, a movie I would refer to as "great", but, compared to the other "Lake Placid" sequels, this is, indeed, a significant improvement.

I liked the original with Jane Fonda; that's why I kept watching the sequels, but, up until now, the sequels have been simply horrendous. Perhaps, that's the reason why I actually liked this one; it was a significant upgrade from the previous sequels.

Yancy Butler was, of course, the highlight of the movie. I don't think it would've been worth watching without her.

I thought the main downside was the fact that the movie lacked the subtlety of the original. This one was clearly going for more action and more gore. And that was a mistake if you ask me.

Also, I'm not sure why they called it "The Final Chapter" as the ending suggests a potential sequel.

To summarize: A below-average movie if viewed by itself. If, however, you watch it having seen other "Lake Placid" sequels, you will be pleased to find that this is basically the only sequel that's watchable.
