Summary: Stupid Overgrown Sardine!
Review: 110% YUCK!!! The monster looks fake, the movie is pointless, and whoever wants to prove their inner-blondeness should buy it!

I regret ever laying eyes on this movie... I love Sci-fi and fantasy but this was all-out dissapointing! A wASTE OF TIME!

EW!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Fear the disturbingly holey plot....
Review: A crevisse has opened, releasing the Loch Ness Monster...But wait! She was up 17 years ago killing someone's child! Only one of the holes in this awful movie. Perhaps 2 suspenseful moments, spoiled by no good view of the monster. Add to this the cheese of the old 'divorced and still in love' trick, as well as some bad dialog, and we have...Beneath Loch Ness!!!

Summary: WHAT HAPPENED?!
Review: After renting this movie I was shocked. I realized that it was one of the worst movies that I had ever seen. Every one of the actors are horrible and the monster looks so fake that the only thing scary about it is the fact that it actually was created using today's technology.

I wouldn't even suggest renting this film. Another thing I just can't comprehend is who decided this movie was good enough to be released on DVD.

The movie is dumb and pointless. It starts with some scientists/explorers diving in the Loch when an earthquake opens a fault and out pops Nessie. One of the scientists dies so that brings the main character to the Loch to take his place. Some people are killed by Nessie which you don't even get to see. I won't tell the end because spoiling it would make people miss out on one of the worst endings in cinematic history.

If you're up for it and have the money and I.Q. points to waste, go ahead and buy this movie. Otherwise just look for a better movie to watch. If your in the mood for a good creature movie, try Harry and the Hendersons because it beats the socks off this garbage!

Summary: Story line lacking
Review: As you can guess from the title, this is a sea monster movie. But this one doesn't seem to know what direction to take. It is almost like there were several script treatments that were jumbled together in the end.

The Explorer Channel has funded a study of Loch Ness but the scientist in charge disappears during an earthquake. A new scientist is brought in to finish the story.

The scientist is portrayed both as an incompetent figurehead as well as a knowledgeable researcher.

The assistant bounces back and forth from complaining about the scientist's boorishness and being even more boorish.

The local constable claims that anyone who has seen the monster is a total nut job (even after he has a monster in custody).

In the end we wonder if they will run the story or not, and we really don't care.

There are plenty of nagging details such as just how many hours can the diving gear be operated, sudden changes in day/night, and places where it seems someone edited out some critical scenes.

The underlying concept is one that could have made a great film (I can't tell you without spoiling it) but the odd acting, lousy script, characters with no substance or history, and some very outdated CGI (looks like early computer game graphics) all combine to into one big dud.

If you want a better film about Loch Ness, check out the Ted Danson version (Loch Ness).

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: LOCH MESS MONSTER
Review: Director Chuck Comisky might have been good with the visual effects mentioned in the Amazon review, but his talents as a director are minimal to say the least. BENEATH LOCH NESS is one of the slowest moving "thrillers" to come along in quite some time and there's just not enough dealings with the monster. Who cares that Brian Wimmer and Lysette Anthony were once married; they're both still pretty obnoxious and self-centered. And why the cliche of the crusty old seaman (this time the ubiquitous but not necessarily talented Patrick Bergin)? The subplots with the fishermen and the web site Nessies is also underdeveloped and nothing really happens on screen with them. Vernon Wells as the constable is so wooden, it's a wonder he didn't have wood lice. The Scottish scenery, however, is gorgeous and that's why a three and not any lower.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Beneath This Mess
Review: I would be hard pressed to find a movie that made so many bad decisions during the course of its running time. Trying to pass off the sunshine and brown mountains of California for the Scottish Highlands was a biggie. The weird antagonism and indifference of the "Scots" regarding Nessie was just goofy: these people owe their livelyhood to the tourists looking for a creature in the lake. And the sight of poor Patrick Bergin showing up with a Braveheart-painted face and a harpoon to battle the monster almost knocked the movie into parody.
Unbelievably bad in almost every way. Will go down as the first horror film in which the monster was overheard saying, "Who do I have to have sex with to get off this picture?"
Was it a mistake to pay attention? I've been waiting for years for a good Loch Ness movie. I'm still waiting.

Rating: 4 stars
