See, I love mockumentaries. If “This is Spinal Tap” taught me one thing, it is that it is OK to poke fun of the ridiculous nature of things you love.

An awesome film to see is “Crater Lake Monster” from the 1970’s. It has an incredibly well done (for low budget fare) stop motion animated plesiosaur type creature to go along with some funny antics by a couple of drunks, a too serious cop with bad hair and Elvis sunglasses. The premise has an egg at the bottom of the lake being incubated when a meteor crashes into it.
A lot of fun! Highly recomended…

it was The Quest in USA and something like Frog dreaming elsewhere. It was a childrens film and at the end they drain the lake and there is the JCB.

Can anyone help me with the name of a film about some sort of lake monster from the 80’s early 90’s. It concerned a youg science obsessed guy who found somthing odd in his local pond and went diving for it. Had somthing to do with a witch doctor and a JCB digger in the end, good film tho!

With a 500,000 budget prob. will not be a great film but who Knows. The Grizzly Man proves one thing some things in nature were not meant to be disturbed by Humans. Sad story when they put the bear down.

Tabitca: You should look into getting a region-free DVD player. You can get a base-level model now in the US for around $50. It’ll let you play DVDs from anywhere in the world. I bought one 3 years ago, and it was a great investment.

The Patrick Bergin movie is just called Beneath Loch Ness in the U.S., by the way. Much less scary sounding!

unfortunately it’s not available in the UK. The worst film I’ve ever seen about Loch Ness is Evil Beneath Loch Ness(I think it had a different name in the states)which was so bad it was laughable. It was quite obviously filmed in the USA and bore no relation to Loch Ness.I think Patrick Bergin is in it and a supposedly 60 foot aquatic predator which ate nessie.The accents are hilarious.I love bad movies lol
On the plus side though, any movie or TV programme no matter how bad, does provoke interest and people will then go and look stuff up about the creatures or area.

Timi, contrary to what “Ole Bub” says, Incident at Loch Ness is a lot of fun. Herzog is a true character, and is fascinating to watch, regardless of what he’s doing. I thought the film was funny with some biting humor, and pokes some good natured fun at both cryptozoologists and filmmakers in general.

Timi….”Incident at Loch Ness”….only if it’s free is it worth watching….save your money and buy one of Loren’s books….I’m reading Mysterious America which is very interesting….JMHO
