Lochness Horror (2023)

A small group is sent on a rescue mission to find a submarine that disappeared and figure out what happened to it. Part of the group has their own agenda and are hiding the real point of the mission.  While it may have been explained, I’m not clear how the two groups got involved or why they’d not want everyone to know what they were up against. 

There is a lot that doesn’t make sense, partly due to the writing and partly because it’s not exciting enough to hold your attention:

  • They threaten to kill Willow when she says she doesn’t want to go down to check the wreckage, yet if they kill her, they’ve lost their diver
  • One woman says her role is to take care of Willow but why does she need to be taken care of?
  • This same woman starts crying under pressure which doesn’t bode well for Willow or anyone else
  • They send Ava to figure out the power issue but have to explain what to look for as she has no idea what she’s doing
  • The real mission is to document the Lochness monster, but based on the ship and submarine, they’re in the ocean, not in Loch Ness
There is a siren that wails through a lot of the movie and will drive you nuts. No one is very good at their job. It’s a massive ship, but there are only a few people on board running it. Also can one person really run a submarine? And when they get on the ship, one woman is wearing a crop top, but everyone else is in winter jackets.
