Written by Scott Edwards It is hard to know what secrets the planet is keeping from us. As more of the earth is explored, more things are discovered, but one of the places that we never seem to look is in the water. When people go missing in the jungle, they can usually be found, but when they go missing in the ocean, well, that is a different story. With so much of the planet being covered in water, it is amazing that we do not truly understand what is hidden in the depths, but hopefully soon someone will be able to give us an idea of what we have been missing knowledge wise for generations. Being called back to Scotland, Case is not willing to alter his searching ethics, but with the loss of his friend in the Loch, he is ready to carry on his search. Inheriting a research team, Case has to decide whether or not to keep the operation going. Seeing the evidence, Case thinks that there is enough to go on, but being more interested in gathering his friend’s body that has been lost to the depths, he will have to jump in with both feet. Seeing fossilized eggs at the bottom of the Loch, he knows that there was something behind the legends of Nessie that have overtaken the world’s imagination, but he never expected to find that the creature actually exists. While hearing about a young man being killed in a ferry’s wake, Case wants to understand what really happened since he has seen evidence of something very big under the waves. Receiving a tape that shows what the creature is, Case is convinced that there may be trouble for the Loch and wants to keep everyone out of the water until he figures out what it really is. But the city will not shut down the Loch during tourist season, and with his boss/ex-wife pestering him about making a television show, Case is left with only one option, to find and document the ancient beast. But Case will not be alone on this quest as a local man who has faced the Loch Ness Monster once before is back in town and is looking for a little revenge of his own. You know, I believe that there was something in Loch Ness that has led to the legend and even though I have not been there yet to check it out, I bet many people still believe there is something in the water. I liked how this movie utilizes the myths around Nessie, but more at the local level. With none of the locals wanting the foreigners around their water, they can do very little to encourage them to go away. With a fun storyline, this movie does not get too political and keeps it light in lieu of what is happening in the water, and there really is a monster in the water, which makes the story so much more exciting… and it likes to eat people which answers the very important question of how it has stayed alive so long. If you do not want to visit Loch Ness after watching this, I would understand, but it has made me long for this journey every more. Stay Scared.
