What our customer's say!

"It's Free Willy", Not too great of a movie, mainly because it's the same movie as Free Willy except with the Loch Ness Monster. Even freeing the monster by having it jump over an obstacle in the water. Can this be a more blatantly recycled plot?

Also, the kid rides the thing's back underwater (somehow holds on) for a long time, and then later on almost drowns just from being in the water. I know it's nitpicking, but come on.

Overall, this just wasn't a very touching movie - cute at best.

"Wonderful Movie A++", The movie is a wonderful design flawless creation, intresting special effects, and overall great handling, the director did a great job at making it look as realistic as possible, highly reccomended to anyone who likes fantasy movies or anything scottish related. Highly recomended Thumbs up A+ movie. very well written and directed.

"Legends", This movie is great for the family. I watched it by myself and was still rooting for the good guys!

"The Water Horse", My grandson who at the age of 2 1/2 loves this movie. I couldn't believe a movie of this type would hold his interest. We started to watch it one night and our grandson cried to stay up to watch Caruso.. since then we have watched this DVD over and over and over and over. It's a wonderful story.. and some how it has captured my grandson's heart.. Angus and Caruso... In fact, the DVD has started skip -- I'm thinking its nearly worn out! I'm ordering a fresh one cuz this is truly one of my grandson's favorites! Altho he took it to daycare one day and some of the little children there got bored and said to call his mommy to see if he had any cartoons instead!

"A boy and his Plesiosaur.", WATER HORSE is your basic "boy and his dog" movie except in the setting of 1940's Scotland in the midst of World War II, and instead of a dog it's the Loch Ness Monster. It's very predictable (boy gets attached to a pet and has to eventually say an emotional farewell to it) and has a simple plot, yet it's emotional and, at times, funny. It's also not so much a children's movie as it as an innocent movie for adults, in my opinion. Essentially, it is a children's movie but in a world of KUNG FU PANDAS, HANNAH MONTANAS, and whatnot, it may not have what it takes to get the attention of that demographic and may appeal more to fans of the HARRY POTTER series, LORD OF THE RINGS, and more Fantasy-based type of films. Also, being familiar with the Loch Ness Monster legend is a plus. With that being said...

The way that the Loch Ness Monster (or the "Water Horse" as it's called in the film) is presented in this film is that only one can exist per generation and that they are Asexual creatures. Before one dies, it lays a single egg that eventually hatches and the baby Water Horse has to live as an orphan and learn to adapt on its own. By chance, a young boy named Angus finds an egg, thinking it's just a big rock. He takes it home, and the egg hatches that same night. He tames the Water Horse and raises it without telling anyone. Eventually his sister and a live-in Handyman (an awesome actor named Ben Chaplin from MURDER BY NUMBERS) find out and collectively help Angus keep the Water Horse a secret from his mother (Emily Watson) and members of the Scottish Army who are taking refuge in their mansion of a home and are planning for an impending German attack (supposedly). But when Angus realizes that the more the Water Horse (which he names "Crusoe") eats, the more and more rapidly it grows, thus resulting in him having to make a heartbreaking decision by taking him to Loch Ness and parting ways with it so that it can be safe and live on its own.

Overall, I enjoyed WATER HORSE a lot. Like I mentioned before, the story IS predictable but it's well done and puts a different spin on the "boy and his dog" scenario. The cast is great and the characters are great. The young boy that plays Angus does a good job and isn't overly annoying like a lot of kids in movies have the potential to be. The bond between Angus and Crusoe is a strong one and creates for a more emotional ending. Also the fact that Crusoe has a NAME instead of being called "Water Horse", makes it more of an individual and gives it a character. To Angus, Crusoe represents more than a pet. It represents his best friend, it represents his child, and as Crusoe gets bigger, it spiritually represents his father who passed away while serving for the Navy. The Cinematography is beautiful and really takes advantage of Scotland's beautiful outdoor scenery. And the character of Crusoe is fantastic, thanks to the Special Effects artists who brought it to life. It has the mannerisms of a curious dog and is a playful creature, even as it grows in size. Some of the acting is a bit sketchy, mainly due to the smaller characters who only have a few lines of dialogue, but for the most part the cast does a great job.

The 2-Disc version of the DVD comes with a Behind-the-Scenes Documentary (77 minutes in length) that covers everything from the myth of the Loch Ness monster, the cast, the production, the acting, and the special effects. Plenty of cast and crew interviews. Also included are a few Deleted Scenes that have a total run time of only 6 minutes and 54 seconds. Other than that, there are no other Extra Features that have to do with the film, which is a little disappointing but is still enough to satisfy the Extra Features junkies who purchase this DVD. Maybe a proper documentary about the Loch Ness Monster? Overall, I highly recommend WATER HORSE to fans of Fantasy type of films and to adults who are looking to check out a simple, fun, and innocent movie for a change. Be warned: the song by Sinead O'Connor during the end credits is a tearjerker.

"The Water Horse", Set in Scotland, this is a very enjoyable movie. A boy finds an egg by the sea, then when it hatches he tries to keep the creatures hidden.

"The Water Horse - Legend od the Deewp", I bought this DVD for my grandchildren and they really like it and watch it over and over.

"An Acceptable Diversion Because Of The Depth Of Story", ***CONTAINS SPOILERS***

THE WATER HORSE: LEGEND OF THE DEEP has the look and feel of an overly cutesy flick with plenty of eye-candy, and that certainly is mostly the case. But it also has a lot of story behind it, too. And what I mean by that is it has several layers of varying stories all unfolding at the same time, something that goes a bit beyond the cute and fuzzy.

It is (no surprise to many) the story of Loch Ness and its infamous monster, but with a twist towards kids and a nod to ancient myth (which isn't very kid-like). The main thrust of the story is given over to a young lad named Angus MacMorrow (relative unknown Alex Etel) and his struggling family as they oversee a nice piece of property near the loch during WW II. Wandering around the shore one day, young Angus happens upon a strange looking stone that he picks up and brings home. Little does he know that what he's found is the rarest of the rare: an egg containing a water horse. He takes the egg into his father's shop (who is away fighting the war) and leaves it one night, only to discover it hatched the following morning. He tries desperately to hide this new creature from his mother, his sister, and an inquisitive but helpful handyman named Lewis Mowbray (Ben Chapin, The New World).

In the meantime we learn that the war is bringing a brigade of men to Angus' family's home; there to prevent German subs from entering the loch via the sea and threatening the Scottish countryside. Angus is forced to hide his new friend (yes, he becomes buddy-buddy with the water horse) from everyone but is eventually forced to release him into the loch as he grows at an incredible rate.

The dangers to the water horse are presented when he (it?) is mistaken for a submarine and is fired upon by artillery emplacements along the banks of Loch Ness. Dangers to the horse, Angus, his family, and everything they hold dear come crashing down as everyone learns (and sees) what Angus was protecting.

Probably most cutesy are the hugs and overly-friendly chumminess that Angus and his new dinosaur buddy have toward one another. But the special effects and scenery (I saw this on Blu-Ray disc) were fairly phenomenal. The colorful heather of the hills against the grayish skin tones of the water horse were impressive (noteworthy: Weta Digital did the special effects, the same company that did The Lord of the Rings trilogy).

Surrounding these fantastical events are very human elements. Angus' family hides from him the fact that his father won't be coming home from the war; a heart-wrenching event for Angus considering the closeness he had with his father, and this makes his friendship with the water horse all the more important to the viewer and Angus (who will obviously soon learn the truth about his father's death). There is also a short side-story about Lewis, the handyman who shows up to help the family. Hiding his scars from the war, Lewis doesn't get along with many people, least of all the British Army leaders who are camped alongside the loch. The audience wonders if he's AWOL from the war but soon learn a much more important element about him. There is also the story of a mother trying to protect her family from the horrors of war, even as it sits down right in her own backyard.

The ancient myth that presses itself into the story is in reference to something called a "kelpie", a malevolent beast of Celtic lore that would disguise itself as a horse to lure unsuspecting victims to it. Once mounted, it would drag him or her down to their watery death. Like I said, not very kid-like.

But it was nice to see these additions to what could have been a simple huggy-huggy, kissie-kissie flick. The depth was needed and that, accompanied with some outstanding visual effects, bumped it up to an acceptable viewing.

"SOLID ENTERTAINMENT FOR KIDS AND ADULTS!", Watching the trailers for this film, I thought this was going to be a really bad movie.......I was wrong, 'The Water Horse' is a very solid family film that is not too sappy and will keep adults interested as well as the kids. The CGI FX are top notch and the Loch Ness setting is beautiful. It did remind me of 'Free Willy' a little, but it's a much better film. Don't be fooled by the trailers, this one is worth seeing!

"The Loch Ness Monster is asexual?!", I've wanted to see "The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep" for a long time. The movie trailers made it look like a really cute take on the story of the Loch Ness Monster, and the monster itself (which is named Crusoe in the film) is absolutely adorable. However, I was left disappointed by this film. The plot is decent enough and the cast is pretty good, although Emily Watson's character was unbelievably annoying, and I'm usually a big fan of hers. In my opinion, Crusoe wasn't in the film as much as he should have been. The story was also kind of on the depressing side, which surprised me since it's supposed to be a movie for kids. The actor playing "Old Angus" and the two annoying teenage brats he shares his story with are also incredibly irritating, and I couldn't get past the fact that the Loch Ness Monster is supposed to be asexual, and that the filmmakers felt the need to go into detail about that in a children's movie. Finally (spoiler alert), I hated the end of the movie because we find out that Angus lives the rest of his life without ever seeing Crusoe again, and then we find out that the monster is dead! Sure, there's another water horse in another egg that's discovered by another cute, but who the heck cares?! Crusoe is dead! What a disappointing film.
