Comments on: Water Horse: A Well-Told Fantasy http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/meltz-waterhorse/ for Bigfoot, Lake Monsters, Sea Serpents and More Tue, 14 Feb 2012 02:52:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: johnstownmonster http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/meltz-waterhorse/comment-page-1/#comment-38681 johnstownmonster Wed, 02 Jan 2008 05:04:37 +0000 http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/meltz-waterhorse/#comment-38681 I liked the film. I was thrilled to be able to take my 6-year-old daughter. It prompted some cool daddy/daughter conversation about lake dwelling cryptids. Just fun for me to share a bit of my nerdy (it's OK, I'm self-actualized about it...LOL) in an engaging way with the next generation. :-) It actually reminded me of an experience from my youth when my dad took me to see a British film called "The Johnstown Monster" -- a somewhat lame story about kids and a lake monster. I was captivated!!! It really was the start of my fascination with cryptozoology; a lifelong thing for me. Who knows, maybe my daughter Logan Blue will be spurred to her own cryptozoological journey. Hey, a dad can hope can't he? PS -- I'm a long-time reader and a first-time poster. Thanks to all for such a cool community! I liked the film.

It was filmed in New Zealand and the terrain is very different. Other than that little technicality and a couple of geologic impossibilities about Loch Ness, I've heard it had good story line and special effects. It's best to go to the movies for entertainment, not instruction in scientific or historical accuracy.
