review: LOCH NESS TERROR

Sony  //  Buy from Amazon.com From deep uncharted waters and through cavernous subterranean tunnels emerges into Lake Superior an unknown and menacing species. The gruesome bloodshed to follow doesn't stop at Nessie; she's brought her vicious offspring to help terrorize the innocent townspeople living around the lake. No man on land or water has a chance against this forty-foot bloodthirsty reptile and her spawn... No man except the only one who has ever survived Nessie's wrath. Driven by a deep-seeded vengeance, James Murphy (Brian Krause, TV's "Charmed") hunts down this terrible species with skillful force. Will Murphy save the locals of Lake Superior or end up as one of Nessie's countless casualties? Here's what you need to know about "Loch Ness Terror" before diving in (pun intended): it's a Sci-Fi Channel movie about the Loch Ness monster. That right there should be more than enough said - at this point, you're still reading because that's a positive in your eyes (hell yeah!) or you've already clicked away anyway, so good riddance to your elitist ass. We're all about b-movies here @ DVDschlock.com, and "Loch Ness Terror" is exactly that: an unabashedly cheesy, campy, cheesy-effects-ridden b-extravaganza... and we loved it! Yes, it's got hamball acting, yes the story is colored by numbers, but it's a fun movie, an entertaining movie, and it follows all of the logical b-movie conventions that you'd expect from a modern-day schlockfest. Point blank: you're either going to hate this movie because it's so bad, or love it because it's so bad (in a good way, of course), so do yourself a favor and give it a chance... you might surprise yourself. (Special kudos to Sony for releasing b-gems like this to DVD for us to enjoy!) Video The 16x9 anamorphic widescreen presentation is very nicely done, with good, sharp detail from start to finish. Audio A robust Dolby 5.1 surround mix delivers all the sonic fury you'd expect for this type of film. Extras making-of featurette episode of "Blood+" trailers Closing Thoughts Uber b-movie that's loads of fun to watch + minimal extras = well worth feasting your b-movie-lovin' eyeballs upon!
