Our Review Published May 15, 2026

Stuart, Arnie, and Brock cry crocodile tears as the Lake Placid saga comes to a conclusion with a 2018 Legacy sequel. What happens to six eco-crusaders who go looking for corporate polluters on a mystery island, only to find a man-eating reptile inside an abandoned factory?  And which pill did Matrix traitor Joe Pantoliano take to wind up here, giving reasons for how the killer crocs got to Maine in the first place? Donate today to learn if South African director Darrell Roodt (Sarafina!) can manipulate this campy series’ DNA into a successful dark thriller.
