The Loch Ness MONSTER Movie From 1996 That You’ve Probably Never Seen

- Loch Ness is a 1996 family monster movie directed by John Henderson. It used early CGI and Jim Henson’s animatronics right after Jurassic Park with a hybrid Plesiosaur / Elasmosaurus creature in Scotland. This is a movie about belief that I think a lot of fans of 90’s special effects and dinosaur stuff will enjoy and I was surprised by how well it holds up!

So what’s the deal with this movie’s release? How many of you got to see it in theaters and who watched the premiere on TV? Apparently it was much more well known in the UK
I saw it on tv and I think remember renting it in the USA, does it have a Region A disc release?
I remember watching it on TV for the first time. Always though the music was great!
What are your thoughts on the upcoming film Twisters? Have you seen Twister from 1996 starring Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt?
I believe I seen it on Sci-Fi channel I'm pretty sure. Like a few decades ago lol
this was on tv for me but i only caught the ending and never aired again lmaooo
This is one of those movies you rented from your local video store back in the day, never to be seen again. Secretly waiting for you to remember its existence at a moment's notice.
I remember watching this movie as a kid and seeing the plesiosaurs and how satisfying it was ^^ Really like that they're portrayed as animals instead of monsters in this movie
As a Catholic and a cryptid enthusiast I am beyond pleased you brought up St.Columbo 😇
Same
He was a goofy priest, but always capable of solving the holy case!

I've seen it and I love it. The Loch Ness Monster is my favorite cryptid of all time.
It’s a real shame we never Loch Ness in Lost Tapes
That would make great analog horror I've seen some of the Jurassic Park ones it should be on par with that.
We got basically the same or similar creature in season 1
I wish Lost Tapes would return.
@@anubusxyeah there are so many cryptids that would go great in it
Monterey Bay monster
Man, having grown up with 'Scooby Doo and the Loch Ness Monster', 'The Water Horse', and 'Mee-Shee: The Water Giant', this looks like it would have fit in nicely!
This did actually get a theatrical release here in the UK. I went to see it, and loved it so much I bought the VHS as soon as it hit the stores! Gets me quite emotional too. So underrated and a 90s mini classic.
Love this movie!
I haven't seen this in a long time!
I'll always remember the hit 1991 song by Rod Stewart, "Rhythm Of My Heart, playing at the end credits. It was very fitting for the movie.
Absolutely. Strong ending to the film. Really memorable.
I saw this as a kid on TV, and really loved it.
These monster/dinosaur movies you're covering just keep getting cuter. Can we hope for a video about 'Baby - Secret of the Lost Legend'? 🦕
Good grief I remember wailing during that movie.
@@sweetcinnamonpnchkin I didn't cry when Bambi's mother died, but I cried for Baby. 😭
The Loch Ness monster is one of those monsters/creatures/myths I honestly forget about more than I'd like.
The creature just doesn't come up much due to being Scottish, location specific, aquatic and the fact that Bigfoot is #1 on the cryptid list. All that said, I'd love to see something that puts Nessie in my mind with a solid stamp and I highly appreciate this recommendation, Klayton. Definitely going on my watch list, have a good weekend, brother.
I remember watching this as a kid and at the end was like "that's all we see of the monster?" Haha try beyond loch Ness. The plot is the loch Ness monsters migrating to Canada to reproduce
That's a good one.
@ethancoolbro18gamer86 its got that good Sci fi original movie charm
@@Godzilla00Xthe CGI is actually decent for a 2008 Sci fi original movie.
I've seen this in the theatre by happy accident. We were there to watch _Independence Day_ and our younger siblings and our mom were to watch _Loch Ness._ But there were technical difficulties. The projector broke down and _Independence Day_ couldn't be shown. So since we couldn't drive home on our own, instead of a refund we swapped for tickets to _Loch Ness._ We've missed the first few minutes. But we just didn't have anything else to do than go watch that film that's already started. I don't remember it in much detail, but it was good.
This is a childhood favourite of mine. I even named my little sister after Isabel from this film. I didn't expect you to ever do a video on Loch Ness, Klayton. Nice work.
I first heard about this film from my teacher when I was a little kid. I was the only one in my class who took interest in hunting it down (I found it in my local video rental store) and watched it. That cave scene where you finally fully see the creatures gets me every time.
Such an underrated classic. It saddens me that more people haven’t seen this film.
This movie is one of my favourites. I used to have it on VHS, now have it on DVD. Good story, good actors, beautiful landscapes, beautiful music. I love the ending. I like to watch it over again.
I definitely caught this on TV years ago and remember liking it a lot. Really cool to know it still holds up too! Another great video, thanks for shedding light on the classics!
I saw this as a kid and have never been able to find it again. It was pretty good, I remember that cave scene very particularly.
Glad you bring up these crazy obscure films from the 90s.
I remember this movie and caught it on ABC! It was pretty good. I totally forgot about the movie until it was randomly on a cable channel just this past year.
I highly recommend the novel The Loch by Steve Alten. Its a character drama wrapped in a creature feature. It's a good sci-fi/thriller/horror/drama. It sort of flips the Loch Ness Horror subgenre on its head in a way I don't want to spoil.
I've read it maybe ten times, still love it.
Just as a note, with the sequel and other books, just remember that it's part of the same internal universe as his Meg series
Oh my GOD ive been trying to remember the name of htis movie for YEARS. I used to love it as a kid and could never find any trace of it online!!! THANK YOUUUU
And to think very few movies these days about the creature of the loch depicts it as friendly, while most others shows a dangerous monster.
I think the 1970s Lupin The 3rd anime had an episode involving the Loch Ness monster too. I don't remember if they made it a monster or just an animal doing its thing.
Not only have I seen it, but I watched it the night it premiered on TV! I remember being pretty excited about it lol.
Saw this. It used to air on TV all the time. Then it just faded away.
I'll have to check this one out later. I always loved dinosaurs growing up and the Lock Ness Monster is what got me into cryptids and such. That and I'll have to check out Beyond Loch Ness since y'all are mentioning it in the comments. Never knew about the Saint Columbo story so good on you for that. The only movie I've seen like this was the Crater Lake Monster but I'm not sure that's one I'd recommend since it's a bit random and goofy at times.
That movie is VERY goofy 😂 great stop motion though!
As a 22 year old fan of dino/cryptid movie i actually remember this movie either from sy-fi or another channel and the memory that stuck with me the most was when they were gonna reveal the pictures and ends up being the drawings and people believed in them as much as real photos lmao , loved this movie thank you for reminding me about it friend
Lived in Scotland about 25 miles from Loch Ness and I remember this being released.
Made a bit of an impact on the first weekend, but then dropped off really quickly and became a bit of a sore point amongst the Scottish populous, when everyone realised most of the movie wasn't filmed in Loch Ness, in fact a lot of it was filmed in England, and that there's absolutely no Scottish actors in the movie at all. The cast is primarily English and American, 1 Welsh actor, and no Scots whatsoever apart from the little girl as they couldn't find an actress of that age who could fake a Scottish accent.
Oh, yeah, Caught this on TV once as a kid in the mid 2000's. I can't believe I've forgotten about it!
Thank you for uploading this! I remember seeing this on TV as a child and was blown away but wondered why it was never brought up again.
Ok I had to shut up and actually watch this before full comment-
I had only a VIVID memory of this movie from when I was little. I remembered that scene apparently flawlessly from your clips! But I never could recall what this film was! I looked all over but I only ever managed to get ahold of sci fi flicks and documentaries.
I’d entirely forgotten about looking for it. But this came in- omg thank you for bringing this back to me!! I’m SO going to get this movie now!!
God bless you Klayton!
I just had a trip to Scotland this year, and spent some time in Loch Ness while there. Amazing country!
I never seen lochness, but I did watch magic in the water. Which was another family movie about a lake monster.
And to think very few movies these days about the creature of the loch depicts it as friendly, while most others shows a dangerous monster.
“I need about Tree fiddy.”
“Tree Fiddy.”
dammit monstah, i aint givin you no damn tree fiddy
Love your channel! You always bring up forgottten movies of my childhood
I watched this one for the first time on Hallmark Channel, and indeed it has one of the best monster reveal scenes I've seen.
I think I did see this on tv or maybe rented a VHS copy. I'd completely forgotten about it. I still remember Adventures In Dino City though lol.
Steve Alten who writes The Meg books also has written a few Loch Ness books too. Might be worth checking out. They haven't been adapted into a film or show yet.
Steve Alten's "The Loch" is part of his Meg universe...same with his Sharkman book.
His is the second series where he started working his other stuff into a series...the other being Jeremy Robinson's Project: Kaiju series where a lot of his oneshots were retroactively inserted into it as backstory for sequel books
I remember this movie. I rented the VHS from Blockbuster- it was awesome!
This was played on TV in the states back then. I remember it vividly.
Man I remember watching that as a kid! I've been super into cryptozooligy since I was little. I'll have to give it a rewatch. I almost forgot it existed.
It was well known in France, released in theaters on june 1996 and released on VHS about a year later, then aired on TV until mid-2000s. Ted Hanson and Ian Holm were great in this!
Awwww THANK YOU! You just unearthed a long lost childhood memory… i actually remember liking this movie, pretty sure i saw it a few times as a kid… not sure why but my brain totally suppressed it. Very bizarre. So yh, thx a lot! Great reviews btw, keep up the good work 👍
Oh I have watched it, on a VHS tape I rented from Blockbusters at the time and I enjoyed it very much!
I remember it being on the telly a fair bit in the 90s on weekend afternoon slots along with Dragonworld, Ray Harryhausen flicks and the never ending story 3 XD
The scene where Nessie destroys the boat still creeps me out.
Same bro.
The score composed by Trevor Jones is amazing !
Oh hell, I remember my family renting this in 1998! Still vividly recall many scenes despite not having watched it in 25+ years! Probably responsible for sending me down a cryptid rabbit hole in the 00's lol
I saw this movie at that year and there are so many memorable scenes. One of my favorites is when the guy is playing cards with Isabel and is mesmerised when she shows signs that she might be a telepath! Got a good laugh for that scene.
I saw this movie when it aired on tv and it stuck with me. Didn't see it again until it was on Tubi.
There is another family friendly movie about the Loch Ness Monster. "The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep." I adore the water horse; it's one of my personal favorite movies of all time. It's too bad people have either never seen it before, or some people have forgotten it.
A childhood favourite I've not thought about in years!
This is such an underrated hidden classic!!!
I saw it on TV in the States. Never forgot that moment with the little girl...I just knew this was the movie you were talking about from the thumbnail! I haven't watched it since it was new as I wasn't sure it would hold up to my memory of it...maybe I will now. Thanks for that!
88 films announced that they're putting this out on Blu-ray this month.
No way! That’s perfect!
Although I am of the perfect age to have seen this movie AT the right age, I never saw it. A couple of other content creators I follow have covered this and it does look enjoyable. Although not taking itself too seriously as a movie, I think the people who made it were passionate about what they were making. Some bits of dialogue may also seem cheesy but when it's delivered with heart, it just connects with the viewer.
Funny you mention The Lost World because Incident At Loch Ness had Jeff Goldblum in a small role as a party guest.
I remember this movie! i almost forgot about it! I remember Magic in the water more
Id love to see you cover that one
They also had weird affinity for lake/water based movies to TV like 1996 The Beast, Creature etc
I've actually seen this movie and it's my favorite loch Ness movie and I keep trying to get friends to watch. It deserves it it's a wonderful film and so touching.
I loved this movie as a child. It has been impossible to find good quality clips of it on youtube, and I didnt know where to watch it or anything. Id rewatch this film a lot as a kid and the monster in the movie scared the crap out of me.
Damn! They should have given Nessie his goddamn "Tree Fiddy"!
I vaguely remember seeing this on TV as a kid.
Would you look at that, my guy finds a movie I indeed have never heard of. I tip my hat to you sir
This movie introduced me to one of my favorite songs rhythm my heart I get misty eyed with that ending ☺️
I loved this film as a kid but I've only just noticed the similar vibes to The Lost World. Nessie is my favourite cryptid that I know doesn't exist but choose to believe in as a treat to myself.
I saw it when it premiered. It sticks in my mind for a weird reason. At one point, a guy gets knocked out with a beer bottle. Now every time I see that trope, I remember this movie
I actually did see this as a kid too but it was so long ago, that is a very vague distance memory so much that if i see it again, it would still feel new to me, i really should try it out.
Guess I'll watch it over the weekend.
It's weird that I'm watching this movie IN Loch Ness, it's still a really good movie..
I remember seing this as a kid, it scared me and amazed me at the same time. I really dig the Nessie's design
I watch that movie on my tv back i was 6 or 8 years old and now someone finally talking about this movie
Australian here: Was shown the movie in primary school on a VHS, watched it on TV and pretty sure it was released in theaters too.
First, for looking at this movie you have earned a subscriber
Second, I'm so glad that you revisited this. This movie remains a personal favorite of mine and there are many things that I enjoy about it.
One of the most prominent scenes was with Ian Holms character when he talks with Ted danson . He describes how dansons "science" didn't solve the mystery of the loch, but rather a 9 year old girl and how for all it's innovations, science has also given it's worst like acid rain, pollution and climate change. That the creatures that survived for 15,000 years were doing fine without us and don't need our help. In short, a child is better at keeping the secret than a power hungry adult.
Even in my 30s, this scene (this entire movie) still remains strong in my memory and still holds a powerful lesson.
I saw it in theatres here in the UK and I loved it. Oh and the music, stunning!
I also remember seeing “Carnosaur” around 7yo on VHS & TV, and was terrified both times 😂
Having grown up through the 90's, I think I do recall hearing about this film initially. Though I didn't really watch it to like... I dunno, early 2000's out of boredom. And I actually had forgotten about it until watching this video. And as I reflect on it, I believe I was genuinely curious about the movie, if nothing else more so about the Creature than the story overall. I might have to re-watch it at some point... been on a bit of a binge of watching older scifi films as of late.
man I remember watching this as a kid, I love it!!
I remember this movie, and remember how it fascinated me
God bless this channel for introducing me to movies that younger me would’ve watched the shit out of
Oh man I completely forgot about this movie
I remember the water horse being one of my favorite movies when I was younger
I remember watching this movie on ABC TELEVISION , I think the movie was really great to watch. I enjoyed it very much. 😊
Great video brother another great movie I saw as a kiddo can we get one on Primal Force? An old Ron Perlman flick from 1999!
Oh yeah! I need to do that one
I remember seeing a trailer for a movie when I was a kid where a little girl says: "The Monster he's real!" When I saw the thumbnail for this film, I thought maybe this was it, but no confirmation in the review. But this does look like a good lazy Sunday afternoon film to watch. I used to read a lot about cyptids so this might be something I should watch
This video reminded me of a movie I saw years and years ago. When I was little my mother rented a movie for me to watch called The Secret of Loch Ness from 2008. It's a quaint little German film and it's so unbelievably obscure today. It's definitely very low budget but it's surprisingly quirky and original. Great video, by the way.
I watched this when it came out. Enjoyable film.
I remember this movie from back then because i was Five in 1996. But i guess i had a fever dream and i remembered Kirstie Alley, The Dad from Fullhouse and Mara Wilson being in this movie.
You are the second ever channel I've added notifications on and I put them on for all
I remember this movie, such good memories!
I totally thought my memory was playing tricks on me whenever I had a vague memory of a family Lock Ness movie. Glad to know I wasn’t crazy! I swear I remember seeing it in theaters, though
In America???
@@Dragoncurveyup but I’m probably just misremembering
I remember seeing it on tv and it lived rent free in my head for my entire childhood.
Speaking of which, please review Primal Force starring Ron Perlman. An island of mutated beefcake man-eating baboons vs. Ron Perlman suffering from PTSD.
I think I vaguely remember seeing parts of this movie on TV at some point in the past decade.
Thanks for the video,Klayton 👍
Big Nessie fan since forever!
I'm Scottish, and I remember this movie being on all the time, usually a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. It was usually followed up by Loch Ness documentaries. I remember watching one where it talked about Prince Philip wanting to hunt the monster in the 50s and send its body to the British museum in London, ofcourse the locals, being very Scottish, didn't appreciate this idea 😂🦕🏴
Thank you for sharing this video, I remember seeing this movie on tv, well parts some parts of it. I couldn’t remember what it’s called
8 years ago I used to be religious, and my church gave me the role of cataloguing christian films (of which I was surprised there were so many).
This film sure as hell has the pacing and feeling of one.
FINALLY! YOU TALK ABOUT THIS MOVIE !!! 😁
The ending always gets me
