Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsWhen the police are gathered at the loch side, the vehicles they arrive in are 4-wheel drive vans made by what looks like the GMC company, with red flashing lights on the roof. The British police, when operating in rural areas, most often use Range Rovers or, more recently, the Land Rover Discovery which, while having 4-wheel drive, look nothing like the vans used in the film. Also, British police vehicles have blue flashing lights on the roof, not red.
- ConnectionsReferences Jaws (1975)
Featured review
I had doubts about this one when I saw it in the video store. However, my son is a 'monster' buff so I decided to rent it.
Where to begin? With the plot elements from other, better sources? Jaws, Jurassic Park, there was even a bit of Moby Dick in there. The rent-a-cliche characters? The maverick scientist, the career-driven ex-wife of the maverick scientist (called 'Lizzie Borden' - puh-lease!), the obnoxious local official who disregards all dire warnings (Constable Connaghy - did they audition this guy before they got him to play a Highlander?).
The factual errors and plot holes are too tiresome to detail.
While I hate to spoil anyone's viewing of this cinematic feast, the sight of Patrick Bergin kitted out in a kilt and 'Braveheart' style warpaint going to battle the monster armed with a harpoon is one that will live long in my memory (unfortunately).
I should add in fairness that my son seemed to enjoy the film, which maybe indicates the level of its appeal.
