Picked this up because, hey, it was supposed to be a monster movie.  The viewing did not go well; in fact, Katie even got angry and went to bed.  I think she blames me!

The first problem is the amount of monster in my monster movie.  In other words: not much.  Considering that the beastie was CGI, vice stop motion, the almost total lack of good monster screen time is a little mystifying.

Next problem was the editing.  Confusion reigned supreme, especially early on, on account of a true hack job.  At some point the creature attacks some Nessie impersonators (they are swimming a fake, floating likeness around the Loch) and we don't see the attack at all!

Lysette Anthony (Lyssa from Krull) was totally unrecognizable too, until I checked the movie credits.

If you want to see a better "dinosaur in a pond" movie, watch "The Crater Lake Monster."  Never thought I might be saying that.

This movie is so dopey and delirously incoherent I actually liked it. God help me, but I did.

You wanna see funny? Go to IMDB and look it up and see nothing but review after review of p**sed off Scots since this movie apparently got released in Scotland before us. I think we caused an international incident over this one. It got so ugly that the movie's director himself posted a rebuttal trying to both defend the film and deny responsibility at the same time.

Needless to say, I've already written up a review for this film that will be appearing in my bad movie column at New Orleans Worst Film Festival site ( www.nowff.com ) within the next week. Even I have to say this is going to be a good review because Lord knows this movie gave me so much cannon fodder to work with.

Oh, Holy Father: if Beneath Loch Ness is actually worse than The Crater Lake Monster, then surely these are the End Times.

Beneath Loch Ness is just gleefully incoherent and watchably bad whereas The Crater Lake Monster is just duller than dirt and virtually unwatchable.

Sounds like a flick i should get. Made a few refrences to Tim the Enchanter, humm? Any movie with scots in is gold by me. Love the accent, and the attitude of the scots if refresingly informal. Do a double feature with Crater Lake Monster.....oh,better whip up some haggis first. Haggis an' Guinnes, only a rrrreal man Kin handle it!

It was filmed in California with American actors doing bad Scottish accents.

Well, that explains why the Scots are hacked off. Among other things, like say, England.

An acolyte of Gary Goddard, obviously...

Hey, that's the only kind of Scottish accents Americans know.

alistairmuir
Haggis Mctaggart Land

Date: 10 July 2001
Summary: This is not Scotland

-99% of this film was set in the USA.

-99% of the actors in this film are bad American actors pretending to be Scots.

-All of the Americans playing Scots in this film have stereotypically incorrect characters.

-I could make a better film than this less than a day.

-They showed the same Nessie computer animation at least 8 times.

-Scots are not all bearded hostile excentrics that look like Andy Goram.

-Thats why this film is such a great laugh(for all the wrong reasons!)

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
