The film is infamous for its poor special effects, meandering story, awful use of CaliforniaDoubling and the fact that, as with almost all of his films, Larry Buchanan uses members of his family both in front of the camera and behind it, whether they're suited to the task or not. The Nessie puppet (just a head on a stick) was later used as [[ItMakesSenseInContext Jack the Ripper]] in one of the "''Bullshit or Not?''" segments in ''Film/AmazonWomenOnTheMoon''.

''The Loch Ness Horror'' is a 1981 horror film directed by Texan filmmaker Larry Buchanan.
[[UsefulNotes/Scotland Scottish]] scientist Professor George Sanderson obtains the help of [[EagleLand American]] sonic expert Spencer Dean to hunt for the legendary Loch Ness Monster. Spencer ends up falling for Kathleen Stuart, the daughter of irritable local nobleman Jack Stuart, who claims to have taken the very first photo of Nessie and has it mounted on his wall. Meanwhile, rival scientist Professor Pratt and his men are also hunting for Nessie. They find a sunken WorldWarII German bomber in the Loch before retrieving Nessie's egg. Although Nessie kills both of Pratt's assistants, he manages to abscond with the egg in his Volkswagen van.
Spencer and Sanderson's efforts to locate Nessie only yield the sunken plane, which causes a bit of a stiry, because it was supposed to have been shot down by a knighted M.P. back when he was a private DuringTheWar. He's concerned that the discovery of the intact bomber (which actually crashed due to engine failure) will ruin his political career, and so he sends Colonel Laughton of the British Army to institute a lockdown ([[IncrediblyLamePun Lochdown]]?) and destroy the evidence (i.e. the plane) via underwater demolition.
Meanwhile, Kathleen gets herself kidnapped by Professor Pratt and held hostage for unclear reasons, whilst Nessie suddenly remembers she's in the movie and promptly goes on a budget-conscious rampage, killing horny teenagers and soldiers who can't shoot straight, in an effort to kill Pratt and reclaim her egg.

!!Tropes used in this film:
* AnAxeToGrind: The Mad Scotsman doesn't like people bothering him on his island, and has a tendency to try and murder them with a medieval battle axe if they do.
* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Ouch...
** No German bomber actually made it as far as Loch Ness, much less crashed into it. At least not that we know.
** The photo Jack Stuart claims he took was actually taken by Dr. Robert Wilson in 1934.
* CaliforniaDoubling: Lake Tahoe doubles for Loch Ness. Poorly.
** Also a bit of "Austria doubling," as scenes of the German bomber flying over snowy mountains are shots of a plane flying over mountains in Austria from ''Film/WhereEaglesDare'' (where they themselves were doubling for Bavarian mountains!).
* EagleLand: Spencer can be kind of a boorish lout sometimes, even if he doesn't mean to.
* EverythingsLouderWithBagpipes: It ''is'' Scotland, after all.
* HijackedByGanon: Well, more like "hijacked by Hitler." Halfway through, the issue of the sunken German bomber becomes a main part of the plot. It, not Nessie, is why the British Army is there!
* MadScientist: Pratt has some traits of one.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Nessie wants her egg back, dang it!
* ShownTheirWork: The pilots of the sunken plane look exactly the same as they did back in the 40s. Due to the temperature of the Loch, there's very little bacteria, and so things don't decompose as quickly.
* StockFootage: Scenes of the German plane in flight are actually from ''Film/WhereEaglesDare''.
