Relaxing vacations may never be the same once viewers see the killer crocodile movie Lake Placid written by Ally McBeal creator David E. Kelly. Fox has done only passable work on this title, producing a 2.35:1 non-anamorphic widescreen version of the film. While all aspects of the picture look good (colors, black levels, fleshtones), the sad fact still remains that this is a disappointingly non-anamorphic title. Otherwise, no edge enhancement or shimmer was spotted during the feature. The audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 and sounds very nice. Dialogue, effects, and composer John Ottman's tense score all sound free of any distortion, with directional effects used well. Lake Placid may feature a large reptile, but when it comes to extra features, this disc is as a small as a tadpole. The only supplements featured on this edition include a very short five-minute featurette on the making of Lake Placid, some TV spots, a theatrical trailer, and some cast and crew biographies. Fans of David E. Kelly may delight in this horror-comedy romp, but DVD fanatics will likely be sore to find the disc lacking in any well-produced extras.
