Quick Review: The Loch Ness Horror (1982)

After a long break, I'm back to battle Buchanan- Larry, that is.  After covering two bad faux Documentaries back in 2014, I check out his more *normal* fare like...

In the infamous body of water, some men are sent to look for Nessie.

They actually find a sunken WWII Plane...and Nessie, who eats one of them.

What is the face of Nessie?

Will it fill you with terror?
Will it fill you with delight?

See for yourself...

Nah- just kidding.

That's from a 1990's Film.

It is actually this...

Yes, it is just an inflatable head on a stick.  Please...hold your laughs.

The Film's main Plot involves people looking for Nessie, looking for the plane, trying to take control of her egg & then people being killed by it.

Look back at the awesome Poster I featured a short time ago.  It was based on THIS Scene...

Can the Military stop it?  Can the bad guys steal the egg?  Will you be able to pretend that California looks anything like Scotland?

To find out, watch the Film (on YouTube) like I did.
I'd support a DVD...but it is out of print since 2012.

A silly and kind of stupid Film.  Where do you begin?  The Film is set in Scotland, but shot in California.  Close enough!  The Acting ranges from deadpan to freaking hilarious.  The Scottish accents almost make Fat Bastard sound subdued.  The premise has some merits, but then just gets super-silly.  To set up Nessie killing some people in a boat, the duo have to sneak away, take a boat to an Island, break onto a guy's property, get found, fight him off (killing him in the process) and THEN cross back in their Boat.  Sheesh!  Nessie is a thoughtful killer here, as she kills the teens as payback for the man's death (we get a shot of Nessie watching it go down) and kills the guys who stole her egg, but not the redheaded lass stuck in the middle.  Speaking of Nessie, let's address the elephant...er, dinosaur in the room.  Larry Buchanan didn't have a fully-functional or developed Nessie model/suit/creation.  He had a head on a stick.  That's it.  As such, Nessie leans down with her seemingly-only two foot long neck to kill people.  How big is the creature exactly?!?  To add to the drama (I guess), some of the shots are done in slow-motion.  It kind of works for earlier, better stuff like Gargoyles to give it a dream-like quality, but it just feels like padding here.  Even with that, the Film is just shy of 90 minutes (with Credits).  Don't track down and watch a Larry Buchanan Film looking for something good.  After all, he made Zontar: The Thing From Venus and The Naked Witch (not to be confused with this).  His Nessie creation did love on, strangely enough, as the prop was later re-used for a bit in Amazon Women on the Moon...

A pretty dumb, but enjoyable Film.  If you don't take it seriously, you can laugh at the terrible effects, poor location-swapping and hilarious accents.
