As a fan of monster movies I was keen to watch this . As a Scot I was enraged, horrified for all the wrong reasons and then laughed so much I didn't mind the time wasted watching ! It is worth watching this pile of poo just so that you know that you have probably seen the worst film ever. No matter how bad any bad films you might see in times to come you can take comfort in the fact that you have seen the worst So carry on with hope in your heart and don't look back. Keep this in your collection and remember things can only get better.Or watch with friends and have a dram every time you spot a mistake, terrible accent or bad acting. I would imagine by less than half way through all will be good .

BENEATH LOCH NESS is an attempt to tell a Scottish-set story when in reality the film was made in California. Just consider that for a moment. Sunny, sun-drenched California, which looks nothing like windy and rainy Scotland. A cast populated by actors attempting to pull of Scottish accents. As you might have guessed, this is laughable stuff indeed, and a complete non-starter of a movie. A pity given that it's the first Loch Ness-themed film I've watched.For a monster flick this is also poor insofar as it contains barely any monster action. Most of the narrative is filled up with petty politics and rivalry and there are just a few murky underwater shots of supposed monster hunting. I suppose the writers should be praised for constructing a character-focused storyline due to the hampered budget, but when the performances are this poor the whole thing feels like a massive time waste.A chunky Patrick Bergin, unrecognisable from earlier in his career, is the stolid hero who fails to lift the interest. An equally bulky Vernon Wells, one of my favourite villainous performers of the 1980s, attempts a halfway-decent Scottish accent and that's about it. It pains me to say it that the worst acting comes from Lysette Anthony whose wooden style of performing is jaw-droppingly bad. It comes as little surprise to see her talents have migrated to TV's HOLLYOAKS in recent years.

Bad movies are always best when the director, writer or *somebody* connected to the production feels they have "something to say", or when the filmmakers believe they're making a better movie than they are. Failing that bad movies can be enjoyable by being either goofy and fun or outrageous and eccentric.This movie, unfortunately, is none of those things. Everyone involved seems to have had a pretty good idea that they were just punching a clock to fill an hour and a half on the sci-fi channel or something. The "best" part is the badly aged (and poorly done even for a decade ago) CGI, but there's not enough of that to salvage it. Don't waste your time on this turkey.

There are people who know the dangers. They are made fun of, chased out of town. No one cares? "Let's go into the water. The rich business man says it is OK" Apparently I need to write more lines. The creatures always evade the best technology, or worse the people get sent out into danger with fault instruments. "get going, save the world, but sir our sensors don't work, OK I'll go"If a group of four go two will die, the obnoxious, pervert dies first. Then his girlfriend or the girl noxious guy was hitting on. The heroes girlfriend appears to die but she gets save by hero of the movie at the end. Nobody get too freaked as the death toll rises. Just some thoughts on this kind of movie.
