From Kaiju Search-Robot Avery, an interesting-looking lake monster flick:
Beyond Loch Ness [aka Loch Ness Terror] (Canada-2007; dir. Paul Ziller)
The original title Beyond Loch Ness was obviously changed so no one would confuse the film with 2001’s Beneath Loch Ness, despite possible confusion with Larry Buchanan’s “classic” The Loch Ness Horror (1981) — which Marketing no doubt figured few would either remember or admit to having seen. From the IMDb synopsis, however, the original title seems to actually make sense:
James Murphy (Brian Krause) is a rugged cryptozoologist, who thirty years earlier, during a trip to Loch Ness, Scotland, had a fatal encounter with the fabled “Nessie” creature that killed his father, and left James with deep facial scar. Twenty years later, James is hunting for Nessie, when his search leads him to the sleepy town of Pike Island, Ashburn, on Lake Superior. Hiring Josh Riley (Niall Matter) as his guide, James and Josh bond over their mutual scientific interests and deceased fathers, while James tries to convince Josh’s mother, Sheriff Karen Riley (Carrie Genzel), that the 60-foot plesiosaur is killing and breeding.
Speaking of Buchanan’s The Loch Ness Horror:
