"Lake Placid" (Collector's Edition) [Blu-ray] ..well worth the buy !....even if missing any current interviews!.

I would love to hear what David E. Kelley, and Betty White have to say about this film after all these years.!

Very hard to find in a store!. Walmart, Target, Costco, Zia Records, Best Buy didn't have any copies in my area. It took about 2 weeks from releases date to get my copy from Zia Records after placing a order.

Written by David E. Kelley (Ally Mcbeal, Boston Legal), directed by Steve Miner (Halloween H20, Friday The 13th Part 2), and co-starring Betty White as the cantankerous Mrs. Bickerman, this terrifying tale of survival ’combines humor and thrills with remarkable deftness’ (New York Post).

Features Include:

• The Making of LAKE PLACID featuring new interviews with director Steve Miner, actor Bill Pullman, director of photography Daryn Okada, editor Marshall Harvey, Production Designer John Willett, Effects supervisor Nick Marra and Puppeteer Toby Lindala
• Vintage Featurette featuring interviews with actors Bridget Fonda, Bill Pullman, Oliver Platt, Brendon Gleason, Bette White and director Steve Miner
• Behind the Scenes Still Gallery
• Animatronic Croc Test Footage
• TV Spots

I haven't watched any of the special features yet, but it's nice to have the movie on Blu Ray. I didn't even own it on DVD, but I had a DVD-R copy of it, but the quality wasn't that great. The Blu Ray looks really good in comparison. The price is often a little pricey, but I caught it on sale on Amazon. These Shout/Scream releases are usually pretty expensive compared to a lot of releases, but packed with special features to make up for it. I was sad to see this didn't have my favorite special feature that's on many of these Shout/Scream releases, Horror's Hallowed Grounds. But I guess it would mainly involve walking around the woods in Canada looking for a clearing or something, so I can see why they didn't produce one for Lake Placid. I was also hoping for some recent interviews as well, since I'm also interested in hearing what these people have to say about this movie in hindsight. The Vintage Featurette should be fun to watch though.

See you guys at the 10 year prison reunion - Ben Richards
