Jack's daughter (played by Miki McKenzie) is nice to look at and has the best effort in sounding passably Scottish. Kudos to Doc Livingston for playing Scot eccentric Jack Stewart who provides the most entertainment out of the lot. Hey, they had to sell it somehow I guess. Is it just me or a magic trick how the Scottish accents drift in and out especially during extended dialogue scenes. I haven't personally been to Scotland, but a lot of faux Scots accents didn't seem to help convince me they were there either. Oh Larry Buchanan, we do have fun! Other than B schlockers Attack of the Eye Creatures and Zontar the Thing from Venus, this is the next of Larry's movies that I have had the fortune of seeing.
The Wrath of Blog, watching films so you don't have to.
#GOD DAMMIT LOCH NESS MONSTER FULL#
Odd, stupid, full of some of the worst acting ever, but a bit of harmless fun. For some bizarre reason, there is also the story of a Nazi propaganda plane that crashed into the Loch during the war. I guess that it would qualify for one of those so-bad-it's-good labels. I can do a better Scottish accent, and I'm rubbish at any accent! As I was watching, I could only guess that when casting, they were simply asked if they could roll their R's - "Yes." "You're hired." Whilst it is easy to ridicule this film for almost everything in it, it is still incredibly fun to watch. I have never heard so many appalling attempts at a Scottish accent in my life. Now onto the actors - a term used here very loosely. This shows, as the trees are wrong, and even the sounds of wildlife are native only to North America. IMDb does confirm that it was filmed at Lake Tahoe in California. The film is clearly not at Loch Ness, in fact, it is not even in Scotland. However, for a monster that is attacking people, and is supposed to add a bit of horror into the film, you just have to look into the eyes, and actually the monster is a little cute.
It is a low budget film, and it is actually quite a well constructed prop. Although, as we later discover, Nessie has standards, and is most certainly a moral killing monster, as it only attacks the wicked! Incredible! The monster itself (as you can see in the picture here) is pretty lame. Bizarrely, there is no indication that there had been any monster attacks in the past, but all of a sudden, Nessie decides that it's about time it started chowing down on some human flesh. He owns a magic telescope that has the power to defy both space and perspective, when early in the film his fixed position scope at one time looks down on a plane that is clearly high above mountainous terrain, then is parallel to the lochs surface, as the monster's head protrudes from the water. There is Jack Stuart (Doc Livingston) who is the stereotypical Scotsman, kilt and all, who has lived at the loch most his life. There are several issues with the film, but where to begin? The story (if that's what we can call it) focuses on primarily American scientists who are studying the loch, in search of Nessie. "Mr Dean is a Yank from the States." Oh yes, this is the level of dialogue in this cheep, farcical tale of the fabled Scottish monster.
