Beneath Loch Ness

Beneath Loch Ness is a 2001 horror movie directed by Chuck Comisky. The film features a group of American researchers who strike out onto Scotland's Lake Loch Ness in search of the fabled Loch Ness Monster. When the group's lead researcher is mysteriously killed in a diving accident, however, their expedition takes a grisly turn. As the group looks into that lies beneath the waters of Lake Loch Ness, they believe that they have stumbled upon concrete sonar evidence that something is active in the lake - and they suspect that something to be none other than Nessie.

As local interest in the case piques, a go-getting television producer shows up on the scene to make a documentary about the group's investigation and the compelling evidence that they've found. Soon, the investigation's popularity reaches dangerous levels; the locals begin attempting to stir the Loch Ness Monster, and it works - but the consequences are deadly.

The creature, aggravated from constant attention, becomes carnivorous, and begins terrorizing anyone who dares to come near the shores of Lake Loch Ness. The lake's official coast guard refuses to prohibit people from going near the shore or boats from the water, and so the death toll steadily rises. With nowhere to turn and the bodies rapidly piling up, the research team grows desperate for help.

Soon, the team is relieved to find help in a man named Captain Blay. Although Blay is a bit of an eccentric hermit, his zealously for capturing and killing the bloodthirsty monster is much-needed. He teams up with the researchers to exact revenge on the Loch Ness monster who, as it turns out, killed his son 17 years earlier. Blay was framed for the murder, and now he's determined to make the monster pay.

The film stars Lynette Anthony, Vernon Wells, David Andriole, Patrick Bergin, Brian Wimmer, and Lysa Appostle. It is rated PG-13 and has a running time of 1 hour, 35 minutes.
