But in all seriousness, tomorrow will see the DVD and digital release of Sony’s Lake Placid: Legacy, the sixth film – there have really been that many? – in the Lake Placid franchise. Interesting, this one ignores previous installments and also has no reference to the Bickerman family, who were introduced in the 1999 original entry.
To put a rather sizable bite into the end of summer, we’ve got an exclusive clip from the film that shows a group of walking crocodile munchies trying to rescue a few friends who have dared stray into a lake. Things obviously go awry, as they tend to do in horror movies, and the monstrous creature that has terrorized them is ready to make another appearance. In true Labor Day fashion, when food is brought to you on a proverbial silver platter, you don’t turn it down!
“A group of young explorers discover a secret area hidden from all maps and GPS devices. When they reach the center of the lake, they discover an abandoned facility that houses one of the largest and deadliest apex-predators known to man.”
Written by Johnathon Lloyd Walker and directed by Darrell Roodt, Lake Placid: Legacy stars Katherine Barrell, Tim Rozon, Sai Bennett, Luke Newton, Craig Stein, Greg Kriek, and Joe Pantoliano.
