The Loch Ness Horror

What to say, this one is really bad.

The pacing is very slow and not by artistic design to build tension. The monster is pretty good. The logic of those on board is pathetic.

I think they bumped off the characters quickly to lighten the budget.

The monster is supposedly the Loch Ness monster. Loch being Scott's for lake, yet the story does not happen in the lake.

It is odd that the dialogue is not recorded well, so many conversations are hard to get the meaning.

Note to self, just because the advertising graphic looks slick and intriguing does not mean the movie is any good.

Plenty of other suspenseful movies go rewatch a good one, way better use if time that watching this one.

After a disastrous accident at sea, a company sends a rescue team to look into what happened and they arrive on the spot to begin their search only to find the truth when a massive sea serpent appears to attack the ship, forcing them to put a stop to the creatures' rampage to leave alive.

Overall, this is a pretty enjoyable if somewhat flawed genre effort. Most of the film's positives are centered around the admittedly enjoyable and cheesy creature attacks that come about through here. The mixture of underwater and top-side attacks that feature the creature attacking their equipment and machinery in these various locales is quite fun with the better-than-expected if still quite obvious CGI creation interacting with submarines, dive cages, or the crew while standing around on the deck of the ship has some cheesy qualities involved for a fun time. Even the revelation about the secondary type of creature that spawns in the bowels of the shop following an attack is quite fun with the series of cheesy chases and encounters that come about which give this some decent gore effects as well. Overall, these are enough to be likable and worthwhile here although there are some issues to be had here. The main drawback to this one is that, for a film as short as this one, it wastes far too much time on the mind-numbing interactions with the crew that aren't interesting or appropriate for this kind of project. The way it spends time trying to engage in small talk about their relationships or engaging in duplicitous espionage covering up the truth about what they're hunting all just isn't that interesting in how mundane or cliched these respective facets of the story are. It takes up a pretty healthy chunk of the first half trying to determine that the crew has been duped about their purpose so these scenes just come off as dull, especially with the unprofessionalism of their approach to the job which is carried out with the kind of lackadaisical energy that comes from not knowing the profession well enough with the way they approach crises that should be quite obvious here. This extends into the other drawback here in the wholly cheap presentation that comes about. As mentioned, the creature's presentation and general activity are usually better-than-expected computer effects that let the spectacle on offer give away its presentation so most of these scenes are quite goofy and silly. The ship scenes have the opposite problem where the presentation is simply using the wrong types of characters that have no formal training or purpose for being here so this can close off any hope of this one working by completely sucking any sense of realism out of the scenario. Also, for being so short the overlong finale that drags everything out endlessly with no real action or confrontations with either creature is a massively disappointing effort with very little about it that's enjoyable, and altogether these factors come together into a somewhat disappointing effort.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language and Violence.

Bad mix of Loch Ness monster and Alien movie! The "story" involves a rescue team attempting to locate a missing submarine in the Atlantic Ocean, only to discover the Loch Ness monster is responsible for the disappearance. Part of the crew are thugs who take the others hostage, however, an alien-like creature mysteriously emerges from one of the thugs, and results in the hostages running around the sub trying to survive. One of the female characters says it best when she askes,"What is the point of all this?" In the end, this was just another low budget, beyond ridiculous monster movie with no redeeming qualities. At least the 1982 version had a cheesy, "so bad, it's good" kind of charm, however, this was just so bad it's unwatchable. Don't waste your time!!!!!!! As a result of utter embarrassment, I don't believe any of the actors were ever heard from again.......

I don't think I can stress enough how bad this film is, the acting is bad, the script is bad, the direction is bad, the sets are bad, the effects are bad, the plot is bad. So much of this film just doesn't make sense.

I watched this on Prime video, the picture showed 4 star reviews from a site called 'Creature Feature', not only can I not find this online the quote suggests "Shades of THE MEG, ALIEN and GODZILLA"... WHERE???

The Meg because it's set at sea, maybe, alien because after the monster spits something on one of the characters some kind of bug explodes from his chest and Godzilla because, why not.

At one point one of the actors tries to act with just his facial expressions, he does not succeed. I couldn't work out if he was confused, befuddled, contemplative or just trying to hold in a massive fart.

DO. NOT. WATCH.

Very good effects, soso acting and plausible story. There is one shot they should have cut because it just did not work. I enjoyed it and some good gore which surprised me. Story is cliche but well done. Best loch ness monster movie That I ever saw, which is not saying a lot because there are some really bad loch ness movies out there. Filmed on west coast bc posing as lake Superior. If you are a local it is obvious. Most people will not know any different. The gore is well done and the monster is quite scary. Acting varies from cheesy to fair to good in the main character. Recommended but not a cant miss.
