We're gonna need a bigger crew

Incident at Loch Ness

(2004)
If I hadn't recently had some secondhand experience of Hollywood sleaziness, I would have found this as excellent satirical faux documentary. But having had such experience, I found it profoundly wonderful.

Delightfully reliant on Jaws, and somewhat reminiscent of The Last Winter, except better in every way, especially in having Werner Herzog playing Werner Herzog, and having the myth of Werner Herzog attached to everything. Zak Penn's performance as what we can only hope is a parody of Zak Penn is also a highlight.

And then there's whatever the hell is in the water.
