Critiques:
“Affected by the standard pitfalls of low-budget filmmaking, Loch Ness Terror is a surprisingly stable creature characteristic. Whereas the path is mundane and results vary from very good to downright abysmal, there’s sufficient right here to advocate to creature-feature fanatics. It is a enjoyable one.” BlogCritics.org
“I’m assuming the screenwriters solely needed to point out off their cheap-looking Nessie costume (that nobody advised them regarded about as menacing as a Muppet), as they create in a number of faculty age-looking characters, for no different motive than to turn out to be monster chow.” Cinema Knife Combat
” …as for poor Nessie… Right here she’s lowered to a clunky and largely motionless puppet that appears horrible in lengthy shot and easily laughable in close-up. The mannequin is so terrible that Buchanan correctly retains it as far-off from the digital camera as potential although it’s all in useless.” The EOFFTV Evaluate
” …though the creature right here does not less than appear like our notions of Nessie, and within reason executed in most of the lengthy photographs (thoughts you, the model of the beast used for closeups is de facto dangerous […] we’d like not worry that this one strays too removed from Larry’s ordinary commonplace of badness […] It’s a kind of movies which by no means fairly involves life, even when one or two moments handle to be moderately good.” Rivets on the Poster
“It’s unusual, however the laughable monster, the dangerous appearing, the dangerous and sexist dialogue, and the amazingly low manufacturing values make The Loch Ness Horror a really shut replica to lots of these lovably dangerous Nineteen Fifties big-monster films […] The campy materials on show right here occurs to be what makes this Buchanan effort a lot completely different from his others – that it leads to a lot of unintended laughs.” The Unknown Films
“Every time Nessie is entrance and heart, The Loch Ness Horror is bearable as a result of the monster is so hokey. When the characters take heart stage, the film hits a brick wall. The ineffectual hero and aggravating supporting characters with overdone Scottish brogues get in your nerves terrible fast.” The Video Vacuum
