Description

Loch Ness is a family drama film with elements of fiction, released in 1996.

Plot

At Loch Ness, Dr. Abernetty unexpectedly dies. Cryptozoologist Jonathan Dempsey arrives from the USA, who must "expose the fraud" associated with Loch Ness. He expects to conduct an echolocation of the lake in a week and collect evidence that the mysterious fossil monster that everyone is talking and writing about is just a myth, inflated and heated to attract tourists.

Dr. Dempsey stops at a small hotel and makes friends with blue-eyed Laura McFetridge and her nine-year-old daughter Isabel. Dr. Dempsey's research faces strange opposition from the locals, and the laboratory ship collides with an unknown object. Nevertheless, the scientist completes the echolocation of the lake, having received, as it seems to him, indisputable evidence of the absence of traces of the habitat of the "monster".

But the photographic film found in the things of the late Abernetti captures the fin of a huge creature.

The Loch Ness Monster

In the Scottish Loch Ness there are ancient creatures similar to giant lizards. There are at least three of them, they feed on algae and hide from people in grottoes scattered along the shores of the lake. The creatures make sounds like a dog whining, and are afraid of flashes of bright light, which is why they really don't like being photographed.

According to the characters of the film, these creatures are dinosaurs (specifically, "elasmosaurs with rhombic flippers"), which have been preserved in the lake since the Ice Age, which ended about 15 thousand years ago.
