Jennifer’s Body made some money but was critically received, but itis actually a pretty good horror movie that was marketed poorly
Lake Placid is meant to be a goofy comedy horror movie that is a fun watch and made just enough to trigger endless terrible sequels like Hellraiser and Amityville, reviews treated it like it was trying to play seriously but some of the lines are so cheesy
Kelly Scott: The lake is so black and still.
Sheriff Hank Keough: Yeah, we wanted to call it Lake Placid, but someone said that name was taken

Jennifer’s Body was impressive enough (when I saw it on a whim years after it came out) that I looked up its writer (Diablo Cody) and what else she’d done. Which led me to Young Adult. Wow! And: Ooof! Powerful stuff.
Or as one critic put it: “Young Adult may be the year’s most engaging feel-bad movie”.
