A scientific expedition to Loch Ness runs into trouble when the group leader is killed in a mysterious diving accident. Soon after, when the unorthodox Professor Howell shows up to take over as leader of the group, more strange incidents and attacks start to occur. While Howell and TV producer Elizabeth Borden are busy investigating the source of the attacks, the body of an enormous sea creature washes up on the lake's shore.

Reviews
Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.
Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Woodyanders A crack team of scientific researchers try to solve the age-old mystery of Loch Ness. Man, does this hideously tedious clunker reek worse than skanky old tuna: The slack (non)direction by Chuck Comisky (who also co-wrote the excruciatingly dull and talky script) allows the pace to meander at a painfully poky clip, there's no tension or spooky atmosphere to speak of, the stereotypical local yokels sport dodgy Scottish accents, the evocation of Scotland isn't remotely convincing, the murky underwater photography is a major strain on the eyes, the generic shivery score further undermines the inept attempts at suspense, and the lousy (far from) special effects don't even come close to cutting it (the CGI creature in particular is simply pathetic). The hapless cast flounder with the sub-par material: Patrick Bergin contributes an atrociously hammy third-rate Robert Shaw impersonation as the crazed and vengeful Blay, Brian Wimmer makes for an insipid and underwhelming hero as earnest head researcher Case, Lysette Anthony plays bitchy and opportunistic reporter Elizabeth to the obnoxious ninth degree, and Vernon Wells is supremely irritating as the resident toolbag constable. Worse yet, the lame'n'tame PG-13 rating ensures that that there's no graphic gore or tasty gratuitous female nudity to alleviate the numbing severity of the pervasive boredom. Hold your nose if you decide to waste 96 minutes of your precious life on this turkey, because baby does this one seriously stink!
hmlphoenix There are many comments about this movie and almost all say the same thing. This movie was horrible.Aside from the terrible accents, the serious over-acting, incredibly primitive animation, and numerous goofs, this movie insults our intelligence by having no plot whatsoever.I won't even begin to mention the fact that they know nothing about diving and don't think that I fell for the "underwater" shots. No one can move that quickly in the water and no one can make a decent that fast and then surface even faster without getting the bends. The only reason I watched this whole movie was the fact that I am too lazy to get up when I am curled up in bed with my laptop, my warm blanket and a cat sleeping on my feet. Now I know some brain cells died while watching this movie. Sorry folks, good idea, bad bad, so so bad movie.
aelthric How could we write a movie about America that is as insulting to Americans as this film is to Scots and the entire UK?The fact is we couldn't.It is clear from Comiskys diabolical stereotyping of Scots and his ignorant depictions of Scotland and the UK that nobody could be this stupid.What was the underlying theme to this Movie?From what I saw of this garbage film, I can only conclude that this was a manifest orgy of hate filled propaganda against Scotland and the UK, perpetrated by Comisky for an agenda that is best known to himself, tenuously alibied by the wooden acting, the incredulous plagiarist butchery of other movies plots, the pathetic script writing, the ridiculous discontinuity and last but not least Comiskys own deliberate ineptness as a director.This was not so much a movie that was made badly, as a very successful character assassination of an entire Nation.It comes as no surprise that following this "Chuck" (Is that supposed to be short for Charles?) directed nothing else, no doubt having been deluged by complaints the studio had him painting scenery or fetching coffee for less hate filled and infinitely more accomplished directors.
BreanneB I like this movie, I thought it was very well made and written. However, Loch Ness is definitely better. The thing that made me like this less is that it has so many scary parts in it, that my little brother, who likes Sci-Fi movies got scared and ran into my mother's room afterwards.I am very interested in the Loch Ness monster though. The best part is when they show him for the very first time. It was very good thought. Kudos to the cast, crew and filmmakers! Two Thumbs Way Up! Just remember nest time to make something better and more suitable to all ages!
