glenn M @Lelandglenn Oct 17, 2026 I came across it one evening channel surfing. I had never seen or heard any reviews of this movie. I had heard of Werner Herzog so when I started watching I thought the whole thing was a legitimate film about Loch Ness. Then as you’re watching it begins to dawn on you that the whole thing might be a farce. Then farther on it’s like you’re in on the joke but you’re not completely sure. By the end you know but it’s good ride especially if you’ve never heard of it and you go in completely innocent.

The character Zak Penn in this mockumentary is like a child among adults, no way he would have given so many chances IRL, because his plan is too easy to see through and he does a bad job at keeping up the lie.

Some amusing moments but it could have been a lot funnier; Herzog and crew find themselves stalked by the monster with little surprise and shock considering they were intent on analysing the 'myth' of the Loch and, despite some hair-raising close encounters, almost forget about it by the story's end. Entertaining but, as Nessie skeptics would argue, empty. See more Jul 18, 2016 A load of fun that doesn't take itself too seriously. See more Feb 22, 2016 Interesting and funny meta, in-joke mockumentary about the shooting of a documentary in which Herzog and crew hunt the Loch Ness Monster that eventually becomes a parody of itself and the film we are watching becomes the film within the film.
