Incident at Loch Ness (2004, Zak Penn)

Nessie exists!
This is documentary about one adventure in Loch Ness, Scotland. Director of this movie is Zak Penn, famous screenwritter of very succesful movies like "Last Action Hero", "X-Men 2" etc. but this is something very "strange" in Hollywood-way of thinking. In fact, this is mockumentary, but not in a way like some of the most famous films of that type - "Mondo Cane". This is fictional story of making a film about mystery of Nessie and in fact, there is film incorporated in another film, but the line between them is not strong. Everything in this film is fake, except that movie is truly shooted in original location. I must say that fact that in this movie "stars" one of my most loved directors Werner Herzog was main reason why I wanted to watch that movie and he surprised me. Besides his role is to talk directly in camera and tells us what is going to be next, he is brilliant! There is also some strange characters like wacko-cryptozoologist, big-breasted sonar expert, some local staff from Inverness, Scotland etc.
I recommend it for everybody who wants something a little bit strange. I rated it 6 out of 10.
