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.

“Old-school American horror is back as Adam Green’s iconic Hatchet series returns in a blood-soaked, fully Unrated collection, uniting all four films for the first time.

“Unleashed at a time when the fun of 80s slashers had all but disappeared from the cinematic landscape, Hatchet ushered in a new era of terror with its unapologetic brutality and introduction of Victor Crowley, the modern bogeyman, who ruthlessly hunts those who dare tread into his swamp. With each installment, the stakes escalate, delivering bigger, bloodier scares and a relentless barrage of inventive kills. So gather all your pieces, because it’s time to return to his swamp and learn once and for all that some legends truly never die.”

Other films coming soon from Dark Sky Selects include The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), The House of the Devil, The Innkeepers, and Faces of Death. Stay tuned for updates.
