The original Lake Placid was an unusual combination of comedy and drama. The violence was a bit much but not too much. The comedy was good enough for Betty White, and that made it unusual; nearly unique.
If they wanted a successful sequel, they would have shot for a story that was more Betty White. Instead, the Sci Fi Channel thought that a lot of blood and violence would be better. That makes the sequel just another of thousands of bloody horror shows. They did not have to pay for an expensive actress such as Betty White, but they should have payed for a good writer at least.
The Sci Fi Channel just does not get what it takes to succeed.

This story is too negative. It starts nice but later on the coach yells too much. My guess is that the real-life coach did not yell as much.
I especially doubt that the real-life coach got so upset about words.
The movie leads people to believe that yelling is a good way to get people to succeed.
Many people won't understand that there are better ways to get success, but I am sure that the real coach understands.
I hope that someone some day makes a better version of the story that shows more of the caring that created the successful team.
I am now curious about the documentaries to see their version of the story.

It has been a long time since I saw this movie, but I sure remember being highly impressed by Justine Bateman. She is an amazing actress, at least in this show.
In Family Ties, Justine Bateman plays an airhead and it must be her excellent acting that caused to be so unimpressed by her. In this movie, we see that Justine Bateman is definitely not an airhead.
I don't remember much about the movie except that it is worth seeing. Justine Bateman is not blind but she sure is convincing as a blind person.
I will enjoy seeing this movie again when I can.
