When the last entry in the Lake Placid franchise was released in 2012 it was dubbed “The Final Chapter.” Well, three years later the giant crocodile loving series returns with a battle royale of epic proportions as the ruler of Black Lake faces off against one big ass anaconda, most known from the series of the same night that started in 1997. And it’s important to know that this cross-over creature feature is the fifth entry in both the Lake Placid and Anaconda franchises.
Lake Placid vs. Anaconda is due to premiere on April 25th at 9:00 on, you guessed it, the SyFy Network. This is the first film of its kind released on SyFy in 2015 and given the fact that the network is cutting down on movies in this subgenre, fans of both series and bad, CGI creature features should definitely tune in for this one. I know how I can’t wait to see how a giant anaconda ends up in a lake in Maine!
Lake Placid vs. Anaconda is written by Berkeley Anderson (Monster Ark, Robocroc) and is the directorial debut of A.B. Stone. Cast members include Robert Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street, Fear Clinic), Yancy Butler (Lake Placid 2, “Witchblade”), Corin Nemec (Killer Bud, Sand Sharks), Nigel Barber (Attack of the Killer Tomatoes), Laura Dale (Roboshark), Luke Dinchev, Ali Eagle, Jeffrey Beach and… Nicki Minaj!?
I can’t wait to see how this one turns out next Saturday!
