Movie Review: Lake Placid: Legacy

Just when they thought they were out of the of the game of high-stakes exploring, Jade (Katherine Barrell) and Sam (Tim Rozon) are pulled back in when Dane (Maxiu, Baldry) issues one last challenge with a $100,000 prize.

The remote wooded area soon reveals that a terrible secret lurks beyond its fences, a giant man-eating alligator.
