Incident at Loch Ness
DVD review from The Movie Snob
Incident at Loch Ness (B-). As a kid, I was fascinated by the Loch Ness Monster, which is probably why I sought out this little-seen independent flick from a couple of years ago. It's a movie within a movie, starring acclaimed German film director Werner Herzog (Grizzly Man). The premise is that he is going to make a movie called "The Enigma of Loch Ness," while somebody else is making a documentary about him. Herzog plans to make a thoughtful, even philosophical film about the reasons we seem to need to believe in monsters, but we quickly see that his producer is trying to hijack the movie and turn it into a mainstream monster-hunt sort of movie. (Example, he brings a gorgeous "sonar operator" aboard the boat, and she turns out to be a Playboy model and aspiring actress.) Chaos ensues when Herzog gets wind of what's going on -- and then the real Loch Ness Monster shows up! Not a great movie, but definitely some chuckles.
