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.

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.

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 had the misfortune of accidentally finding this when searching for "The Loch Ness Horror" directed in 1982 by the late Larry Buchanan. I gave the 2023 film a watch for free on YouTube videos, and discovered it was no better. In fact, somehow, it was worse.

The story revolves around a rescue team being sent by a British company to locate a missing submarine in the Atlantic Ocean as opposed to Loch Ness itself, only to discover the Loch Ness monster is responsible and part of the crew is made up of thugs who take the others hostage in a soupy sub-plot.

Everything in this movie is bad. The story is sloppy and boring with a few rip-offs thrown in for good measure, like the underwater cage scene from "Jaws" and a chesbursting creature from "Alien". It might have been a little better without the hostage situation sub-plot and just focusing on the monster.

All of the characters are boring, unsympathetic, or just inept at their jobs. Most of them serve as little more than dinner for Nessie. One woman spent half her screen-time freaking out and hyperventilating. Another one tried to use paper towels to treat a man burnt by Nessies acidic saliva. And there was an annoying ship alarm blaring through half the movie! Dear God, I heard it in my sleep after watching this.

The Loch Ness monster hardly even appears onscreen. And even when it does, it's size inexplicably changes between shots and the CGI effects for it as a crummy and low-quality as you'd expect from any budget monster movie. The little skin parasites were just as poorly designed and animated.

The sets were an inconsistent mess of multiple ship interiors that obviously don't match up, including museum ships any tourist would recognize. It would have worked better to take a smaller boat out onto the actual Loch Ness, or at least a stand-in lake.

In the end, this was just another lame, God-awful budget monster movie with no redeeming qualities at all. At least the 1982 movie had a cheesy, "so bad, it's good" kind of charm to it, this was just so bad, it's boring and nigh-unwatchable. So don't waste your time on this trash.

As someone who watches a lot of films, the recent decline in good horror or good thriller, is just poor. Simple as that. It's like these people who "make" these films don't even bother trying anymore. I mean, to be fair, this film was predictable. And again, the acting is really bad. It has so much potential to be a decent movie, I don't understand why they didn't spend more time trying. Understandable that there's horror and thrillers of sorts that would be hard to beat, but the fact this whole Loch Ness monster is a "thing", you'd have thought they'd have at least tried harder to make this film a bit more watchable. I have watched it through and to be honest, it might be watchable but there is so many cringe moments.
