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.
