Now then - where to start. It would be easy to just rip it to shreds. It's rubbish - on just about every level. For reasons that are not immediately clear, it was digitally remastered (if, indeed, it was ever "mastered" in the first place) in 2011 which, if anything, seems to have merely exacerbated the already dreadful production standards. A meteor lands in the remote "Crater Lake" and before we know it, "Nessie" arrives for a summer vacation from Loch Ness and - getting peckish on the way - decides to feast on the residents of the local town. The story is routine, but fine, it is the manufacture that is abysmal. The stilted acting might not have seemed quite so bad were it not for the staccato assemble-editing done in such an amateur fashion that really draws attention to the silly script, a soundtrack straight from the basement of a 1960s ad agency and to the risible visual effects that owe a lot more to plasticine than to Ray Harryhausen. There are far too many characters to distract from the dodgy narrative, the attempts at humour are cringingly contrived and at 85 minutes, it is far, far too long! It is worth a watch just to calibrate your senses, and put true dross in proper perspective!
