Beneath Loch Ness…a story of a loch and a monster


The story of the Loch Ness Monster is one I am sure we have all heard about at some point in our lives unless you were just born or have lived under a rock for your life which then I will write a blog about you because to live under a rock your entire life is pretty damn interesting. So there have been numerous stories in print and a number of documentaries produced about the lake and the monster that supposedly dwells in its dark murky waters. The legend has been around for many many years and even the infamous photo taken that really sparked the interest was proven to be a forgery as admitted to on a death bed admission.

In all of this there really hasn’t been a movie let alone a horror movie made about the infamous monster of the loch…surprising the Syfy hasn’t done one considering they have done movies about stuff that have no basis of reality aka octo-shark. Seriously Im surprised they haven’t done one and put a bunch of former 80’s stars in it like the entire cats of Saved By The Bell…now that would be funny to see Screech eaten by the loch ness monster. Considering they made one where Alice Cooper gets smashed by Bigfoot its not a farfetched idea.

So I stumbled upon the movie called Beneath Loch Ness about a research team and they happen to discuss the existence of the monster Nessie. And this may be off topic but since the Loch is located in Scotland why is it every single accent sounds like its Irish and not Scottish…oh well. Now a series of events have been occurring in the town that surrounds the Loch and a TV channel is coming to do a documentary about the lake as well….oh and the towns people hate the research scientists who are seeking out the legendary creature and want them to leave.

So as the movie continues on its merry way we discover that the Loch Ness Monster is in fact spawning and the loch is a pre-historic spawning ground. And of course they try to alert the authorities to close the loch however its tourist season and wont close the loch…hmmmm Jaws plot line anyone??? So its not a matter of time for the researchers to find Nessie and do whatever it is to prove to the people the legend is real. So eventually a scientist gets stuck in the breading cave of Nessie and well Ill let you watch the rest to finish the end of this story.

The movie wasn’t all that bad and the special effects were pretty good as well. If I had to give this a rating I would give it a 3 out of 5 star rating just because it was a good watch and didn’t have to think too much about it. So check it out on Netflix and relax and enjoy the legend hunting movie watching experience.

Be safe and some legends are real,
