‘Lake Placid: The Final Chapter’ Dated For Home Video

Published

on

Horror icon Robert Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street), Yancy Butler (Kick-Ass) and Elisabeth Röhm (TV’s “Heroes”) battle the most bloodthirsty, monster crocodiles on earth in the final installment of the Lake Placid franchise. Lake Placid: The Final Chapter debuts on unrated DVD February 19 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. In the film a rogue game warden (Butler, returning from Lake Placid 3) breaks out her guns after the schemes of an obsessed poacher (Englund) land a group of high school students into the midst of the man-eating crocodile “nature preserve.”

The crocs are back… and they’re bigger, badder and more brutal than ever. After the deadly predators’ last vicious attack, the government prevented their extermination. Sealed away in a nature preserve, they’ve been growing to record size, awaiting their next chance to feast on human flesh. Now, when a high school swim team takes a wrong turn directly into the crocs’ hunting grounds… dinner is served. As the teens race to avoid the hungry reptiles, they become caught in a showdown between a rogue game warden (Butler) and a demented poacher (Englund). It’s the last serving of hysterical horror in a finale that shows terror is best served raw.

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones.
