Incident at Loch Ness

United States, 2004
Incident at Loch Ness
Starring Werner Herzog, Zak Penn, Kitana Baker.
Directed by Zak Penn.

Werner Herzog attemts to mount a serious expedition to Loch Ness while his Hollywood producer (Penn, playing himself) surrounds the unknowing director with actors trying to make things more interesting. Is the monster real, or not? When something attacks Herzog's boat what's true and what's not is up to the viewer.

A witty and fun mockumentary, and certainly the best movie ever made about Loch Ness.

It Came From Beneath The Sea

a.k.a. Monster From Beneath The Sea
United States, 1955
It Came From Beneath The Sea
Starring Kenneth Tobey, Faith Domergue, Donald Curtis.
Directed by Robert Gordon.

Giant, radioactive octopus attacks an atomic submarine and then moves on to destroy San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. Special effects, in particular the stop-motion animated octopus, were created by Ray Harryhausen. The one major flaw? In most scenes, the beast only has five arms. Maybe he was using the other three to tread water.
