Straight off the bat, I didn't hate There's Someone Inside Your House. As far as 90s inspired teen slashers go, it's relatively entertaining - it's has some solid gore, it's pacing is snappy for the most part, and the opening 15 minutes or so has some genuinely unsettling wide shots of houses with subtly open doors, hinting at someone unwanted being inside. It's a neat trick that's repeated once, but then unfortunately abandoned.
The main issue with TSIYH is how darn predictable it is, down to every set piece and narrative beat. The eventual killer reveal is sadly an obvious one, and there are even moments where the plot threatens to get a little ballsy but chickens out at the last second.

TSIYH had some fun slasher moments for sure, and I did like the multiple mask concept of the killer, but it's over reliance on genre tropes, and tendency to play it safe drag the overall experience down.

Nobody is saying that the sequels that followed the original Lake Placid are good, but to their credit, all of them are tongue-in-cheek and come across as self aware to a certain degree. Lake Placid: Legacy ditches that, and plays it straight. Everything is super serious, and it's a putrid pile of utter shite.
Every character is insufferable to the point I didn't even want them to get eaten. I wanted to crocodile to physically manifest itself in front of me so i could be eaten instead. The very same crocodile that somehow looks the shittest it's ever been in this entire franchise, which is quite impressive to be fair. Furthermore, the piss awful script has the audacity to compare Legacy to not only Frankenstein, but also to the Ancient Greek fable of Theseus and The Minotaur, in a completely unironic way.

Categorically, one of the worst films I've ever sat through. I think I actually hate movies now. Thanks.
