Killer Crocs Will Return in the Already Filmed ‘Lake Placid: Legacy’

Published

on

Both Deep Blue Sea and Lake Placid were released in 1999, two entertaining creature features that no doubt paved the way for, well, pretty much everything Syfy has been doing in recent years. And both films, wouldn’t ya know it, are getting sequels this year.

Deep Blue Sea 2 arrives April 17, and we’ve just learned that Lake Placid: Legacy is also coming in 2018. Unlike Deep Blue Sea, which gets its first sequel this year, the new Lake Placid film will actually be the fourth sequel in the franchise, and that’s not even counting crossover film Lake Placid vs. Anaconda. Yeah, that totally happened.

Lake Placid: Legacy is a Blue Ice Pictures production, and it recently filmed in South Africa. The fifth installment in the franchise is set to debut on Syfy here in 2018.

Darrell Roodt directed the film, starring Katherine Barrell, Tim Rozon, Luke Newton, Craig Stein and Greg Kriek.

Stay tuned as we’re digging for more info, including plot details.

Is the ‘Frogman’ Real? Find Out Right Now on SCREAMBOX! [Trailer]

Frogman review

The legend of the Frogman comes to the screen in the new found footage movie Frogman, which joined the Bloody Disgusting-powered SCREAMBOX streaming service today!

In Frogman, “In the summer of 1999, a 12-year-old named Dallas Kyle captured footage of the mythical Frogman, but no one believed it was real. Twenty years later, Dallas, now an amateur filmmaker struggling to turn his passion into a career, returns to Loveland with friends Amy and Scotty determined to obtain irrefutable proof that the Frogman exists.

“But what starts as an innocent documentary soon turns into a Lovecraftian nightmare as Dallas uncovers the horrific secrets hidden beneath Loveland’s idyllic surface.”

Nathan Tymoshuk, Chelsey Grant, Benny Barrett and Justen Jones star.

Meagan Navarro wrote in her mini-review out of Popcorn Frights 2023, “Director Anthony Cousins takes on the cryptic Frogman via found footage in his feature directorial debut, co-written with John Karsko. In it, a trio of friends embarks on one final filmmaking hoorah before life takes them in separate directions. But in their bid to make one last attempt to capture the elusive cryptid Frogman on camera, they find far more than they ever bargained for.”

Frogman adheres to the standard found footage blueprint and tropes, drawing heavily from The Blair Witch Project and Willow Creek as the trio starts by interviewing Loveland, Ohio, locals about their town’s cryptid mascot,” Meagan’s review continues. “Friction between the friends gets brought to the surface as they get closer to the truth. While Cousins’ debut doesn’t offer any narrative surprises and makes strange style choices for the camera, it makes up for it with impressive creature effects. The more the humans invade the Frogman’s turf, the more delightfully weird and gnarly things get. It’s an SFX showcase with delightfully deranged mythology that makes this one worth the price of admission.”
