The Loch Ness Horror (2023) Movie Script

[theme music]
Anything?
Nothing yet.
It's got to be out there.
Sarge, we got something.
There we go.
If we stay behind it, we
can see where it goes.
She escaped her loch and
heading towards the North Sea.
We gotta take her back,
so be careful around her.
I know they thought it's
out there somewhere, but--
[chuckles]
--no.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
Sarge, we lost it.
Lost it?
How?
It could have just
recited below, I'm not sure.
It's got to be under
there somewhere.
We know she's out there.
Let's just wait.
She'll be back.
OK.
[siren blaring]
What is it?
It's affecting the power.
Sarge.
We need to go.
Sarge.
--seen anything
like this before.
She knows we are here.
[bang]
She knows we're after her.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Go.
Go.
Go.
She knows we're here.
[bang]
[screaming]
[up beat music]
Right now, we're in the
dark as to what happened.
So we need to detect the craft.
It's been over 48 hours
since we last had contact,
so we are prepared
for the worst.
We just need to find out
what happened out there,
and we need people we can trust
to bring back a full report.
Lara, Bryce, thank you
for coming on to the job.
We're going to be
needing your expertise
in pinpointing the exact
location they went missing.
We'll arrange for you to
be given their coordinates
at last contact.
You will have full up to date
access to whatever you need.
Once you get to the site, we're
going to need you to recruit
someone to go under and
see if there's any wreckage
or debris to be found.
That can be done depending
on the condition of the sea.
I would potentially
advise on the coastline.
This time of year the
ocean can be treacherous.
And I'm not entirely
sure it'd be
safe to send someone down there
without the correct support.
Of course, put together a
team and formulate a plan.
My people will look
it over, and come
up to me with any problems.
I just need to find out
what happened out there.
You think you can get Ava on
board for additional assistance
just in case
something goes wrong.
I can ask her.
But being so last minute--
Yeah, I understand.
Just see what can be done.
I think having a proper
team to make sure this thing
goes down well is needed.
If she won't do it, have
her think of someone else,
will you?
Yeah.
Sure.
So we're going to talk
about the other night?
[sighs]
There is nothing to
talk about if you ask me.
I wouldn't say that.
We had some drinks.
Nothing else happened.
Just a few drinks?
Well, my memory
shows other things.
[chuckles]
I'll see you later.
Get me home in one
piece, and maybe you
can have a bit more of that.
Oh.
Do you think we're going
to be OK, going out there?
Nothing worth
having is risk free.
Here we go.
Let's bring home the money.
Hi.
Wow.
You seem good.
[chuckles]
Since when did you start
waking up for work?
Hey.
I didn't ask to
be picked apart, OK?
I asked for your
help in this mission.
You keeping secrets
no matter what.
Me keeping secrets?
Never.
Come on, let's go.
[chuckles]
[chatter]
Hi.
Ava.
You too.
[chuckles]
Wow.
Hi.
It's been ages.
Wow.
Oh my gosh.
It's been so long.
How are you both?
Good.
Yeah, it's going all right.
I assume you've
been briefed properly?
Yeah.
Missing craft.
Find the remains.
What could possibly
go wrong, hey?
[chuckles]
Are you sure you feel
comfortable going down there?
Oh, yeah.
I'm not going to be
diving down there alone.
So as long as there's
somebody there to cover me,
it should be fine.
The ship has access to a pod.
I'm happy to drive
out there and follow
her to make sure she's safe.
Yeah, stop your worrying.
It's my job.
[chuckles]
Come on inside.
All right.
Well, thanks for coming to
join us such last minute.
And there ain't no problem.
Check out the lower
decks, get familiar.
We set off in 10.
Bryce, what's the ETA?
The coordinates
you gave me, I'd
say with the condition the sea
is in, we could be out of there
in under an hour.
Good .
If we're efficient we can
get back by sunrise then.
Let's go guys.
Aye-aye, captain.
I come bearing coffee.
Well, you're my
little sister now.
Shut up.
What do you think
actually happened
to them, people on that craft?
Well, if you ask me it's
going to be signal problems.
Given the brief of
who was on board.
I can't imagine it
being a rookie error.
But I don't imagine
what we find out
there tonight will be positive.
[engine roaring]
Hi.
Are you OK ?
I don't know why it
is, the older I get,
the more I feel seasick.
I even get it in the car too.
Yeah.
All these things
develop with age.
Yeah.
[chuckles]
How about you
take one of this.
It should settle your stomach.
Cheers.
[sighs]
Hey, could you guys
give me a minute.
Sorry, I just need some space.
Yeah.
Sure.
WOMAN: (ON RADIO) Go.
Go.
Go.
Oh my God.
[screams]
MAN 1: (ON RADIO)
She's in there.
Let's just wait it.
She'll be back.
WOMAN: (ON RADIO) No.
Go.
Go.
I feel like shite.
Just give me a
little bit of time.
Let me lie down
for a little bit.
Well, I can wake you
up when we get there.
I think the pill will have
kicked in by then anyway.
OK.
Yeah.
Are you OK?
Are you sure you're OK?
Yeah.
Not really, no.
Well I'll leave
you be, and just
call me if you need anything.
OK.
Take care.
You are prepared to
go down there then?
Yeah, there's
nothing to worry about.
The darkness
doesn't scare you?
Not being able to see
what's down there with you.
Look, it's my job.
When you're down there,
you just need to be
focused on what you're doing.
Stay calm.
It's all about being relaxed.
If you overthink it, that's
when you're in trouble.
[giggling]
I'm not interrupting
anything, am I?
No, come join us.
What's that?
Well, its job is to take
us to the exact point.
You can see the
surrounding areas.
It also shows anything incoming
that we are unaware of.
Hey.
How are you?
It's so calming, isn't it?
Tell that to Drake?
Is he sea sick?
[chuckles]
Yeah.
I don't know why they
brought him on this job.
No.
Maybe he was the only
person available.
I gave him some pills to
solve the stomach anyway,
so he should be good.
Yeah.
And he's pretty gutsy,
and we need someone
like that for a job like this.
Not so gutsy
when you're getting
sick all over the toilet.
[chuckles]
What?
I just left my
radio downstairs.
I'm going to go grab it.
OK?
OK.
See you later.
Oh.
There you are.
[radio beeps]
Travis.
Travis.
Your laptop is going to die.
WOMAN: (ON RADIO) Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Go.
Go.
Go.
Go.
Go.
Go.
She knows we're here.
No.
No, don't leave me here.
No.
[screams]
MAN 1: (ON RADIO) Come on.
WOMAN: (ON RADIO) No.
Don't leave me here, no.
No.
No.
Anything?
Nothing.
We are still some time
away, but nothing abnormal.
Look, it's just us now.
Be frank with me, are
you worried at all?
I think for what
we're getting paid,
there's always going to be
some level of danger involved.
We're better prepared than ever.
What about the others?
Do we tell them?
No.
No, there's no need to say
anything until we need to.
We just keep them thinking it's
a rescue mission until there.
OK.
I left my phone and I
was just about to leave.
I feel really seasick.
So let me go to the head.
What were you
doing on my computer?
And don't fucking lie to me.
Your battery needed
charging, so you know I just--
You must think that
I am really stupid.
Now, are you going to tell me
what you were doing, or am I
going to make you?
[gun shot]
Did you hear that?
[music playing]
Drake, where are you?
Where are you?
Where are you?
No.
Stop.
Help.
Help.
If anyone can hear me.
Help me.
Come on.
We should go back.
Help.
Now, what did you go
and do that for, huh?
They're lying.
And this isn't what we thought.
They're lying to us.
Ewan, talk to me.
What's this all about?
This all could have
been a lot swifter.
Come on, this ship ain't
going nowhere till you
tell me what's going on.
Yeah.
It's a good job they
sent me then, isn't it?
Lara, the craft
that went missing,
it went out into the
ocean to find something,
and it found it, and
it never returned.
I listened to their
last recordings.
I could hear them clear as day.
I thought we're going to
find the ship and go home.
We're going to
track that thing down.
Whatever they found
out there was larger
than anything known to man.
And tonight we'll discover it.
[radar beeping]
It's up ahead.
Don't stop.
What the hell are
we hunting here?
History.
All right.
You, get out on top deck
and keep a watch out.
Yes, sir.
You, with me.
Come.
[thunder storm]
Look, let's just do as
they say, and nothing more.
No.
Like we should refuse.
I don't want to be a
part of this, Willow.
You didn't hear the last group.
Like, whatever they saw it just
like, it destroyed them and--
Do you have any better ideas?
I don't know.
[groaning]
Why is he bleeding?
Your boy here
has got a temper.
Look, you guys can either
work with us, or for us.
You decide.
What the hell
is going on here?
[thunder storm]
We're right behind it.
Come on.
Go faster.
Go faster.
We're right on his tail.
Copy that.
We need it slow down,
or stop, or something.
You're going to get
us all fucking killed.
Not if we're careful.
OK.
I think it's gone deeper.
It might be in
surrounding areas.
I'm not sure.
But it sure isn't at
surface level anymore.
It can't have
just gone, could it?
Right.
Dock it.
[music playing]
[thunder storm]
There you are.
[gun shot]
[screaming]
What was that?
Ewan.
Ewan, what was that?
I think I got it.
Copy that.
Willow, it's time.
Get ready.
You're going down.
And what if I don't
want to go down?
I mean, can we stop
waving guns around.
And what the hell is she
getting herself into?
Exactly what
she signed up for.
She's going down to check
if the wreckage is there.
What was that noise we heard?
I'm in charge of
her safety, and I
can't let her go down
there if I don't know what
she's getting herself into.
She'll be in a cage.
It's safe.
Now get going or I'll have
you escorted to a room
where you can watch
from a window.
Make your choice.
You bastard.
I'll see you up there.
[thunder rumbling]
What is this?
You may proceed.
Now.
Now, we check
surrounding areas.
You can't be serious, you
want to send her down there
or whatever it is out there.
This isn't safe.
Not what we signed up for.
I have a gun, all right.
And you better
have one because this
is a suicide mission.
Look, where I am from
nothing is suicide mission.
[thunder cracking]
Get back here.
I found these when I
was scouting the ship.
I didn't know they were here.
All right.
So you're thinking to take
them down there with her.
We know what's down there.
I think it's an
extra protection.
We should have another
layer of security.
It is risky sending
Willow down there.
But if I go down
there with these,
I can be there in case
something should go wrong.
Look, we don't know
if this thing has gone
deeper or moved further away.
But I'll tell you this,
she knows we're here,
and she ain't going nowhere.
Willow, you don't
have to go down there.
It's OK.
Deep breaths.
Yeah.
Be calm and confident.
OK?
Deep breaths.
Yeah.
You don't have to do
this if you don't want to.
Fuck it.
Let him pull a gun
on us and let's
see what they do about it.
Drake, be careful with
what you are saying.
I think we've been
lied to and manipulated
into taking this job.
I'm going to go down there.
I'm going to check
the surroundings.
And I'm going to be back
up here in 10 minutes.
OK.
Be careful up here.
Don't do anything stupid.
Going into the pod now.
Please, we need
to do something.
OK.
She can't go down there
with that thing down there.
She has no idea what she's
getting herself into.
They will make her go
down there no matter what
you try to do, OK?
Just face it.
I'm sorry.
[music playing]
She can't go down there.
What do you mean she
can't go down there?
Where is Willow?
She has already gone down.
She's in a cage.
About to descend now.
Heading down now.
Looks like you're too late.
She's already gone.
Here we go.
You sent us out with
that thing out there.
What thing?
What's happening?
What was that?
I'm down here with you.
Don't worry.
[mumbling]
I'm talking to you.
You can't be putting my
team in danger, you hear me?
Calm it down, big shot.
She's not alone.
Travis is heading down
there as we speak.
Travis, do you copy?
Can you guys read me OK?
Why are you down here?
What's going on?
It's just a safety precaution.
I'm looking for a wreckage.
Why would I need you
down here with me?
You seen it go down there.
It's coming.
There's something down there.
She isn't down there
looking for a wreckage
She's down that looking for it.
But she doesn't know that.
Like, we need to let her know.
Wait.
Wait.
You worry her now, this
whole thing could go to shit.
You can cause a whole mess here,
girl, if you're not careful.
Do you hear me?
Now we've got a plan, and
we're going stick to it.
What's going on down there?
Threshold has peaked.
Travis, can you hear me?
MAN 2: (ON RADIO) I read you.
Right.
I'm leaving, Willow.
It's headed our way.
Just be ready, OK?
Roger that.
Come in.
Guys, can anybody read me?
I want out.
Get me out of here.
There's nothing down here.
I don't see anything.
So just get me out.
Something is down here with us.
[screaming]
Oh, damn it.
I'll find a way to fix this.
Fuck.
God, come on.
Can anyone read me?
Travis, are you OK?
And Willow, can you see her?
Is she OK?
She's gone.
[thunder cracking]
[screaming]
Come in.
Can anyone read me?
Damn it.
Travis, what's going on?
Guys.
Run.
[screaming]
Can you read me?
Lara, can you read me?
Can anyone read me?
It's OK.
It's OK.
It's OK.
Come on.
This way.
This way.
It's sticky.
It's--
[screaming]
We're going to get it out.
We're going to get it out.
We're going to go
to the medic room.
Calm down.
It's OK.
I got you.
[screaming]
What was that thing?
Come on.
We need to go.
[sobbing]
[siren blaring]
OK.
Shh.
OK.
Here we go.
It's OK.
[screaming]
OK.
I don't know what's going on.
Hey, hey.
I'm really freaking
out right now.
No!
Look at me.
No.
Look at me.
Look at me.
Ava.
[sobbing]
Calm down.
It's OK.
I really can't be here
right now, I have to leave.
I know.
I know.
I know.
We need to work together.
I promise you we're
going to get out of this.
We need to work together.
Can't leave.
We can't leave because we
might scare it and it might--
Calm down.
Calm down.
Did you see it?
Did you see it?
Yeah.
It looked like--
it looked like--
it looked like--
Hey, listen to me.
Whatever it was, we
just need to focus
on getting out of its way.
OK?
Yeah.
I need you to work on getting
him back to a fit state.
- Yeah.
- OK.
We'll go to the
control room, and we'll
try to get the ship moving.
- No.
No.
No.
No.
We can't move.
It might frighten it.
It might think we're a
predator in its home.
We have to stay.
OK.
Then I'll make
contact with land.
Get help.
- Mm-hmm.
Yeah?
Yeah.
OK.
Listen to me, you just--
OK.
Look, I need you
to work on getting
him back to a fit state, OK?
Stay down here and focus on him.
OK?
Bryce, let's go to
communication center
try to make contact
with something.
She's trying to
help you, all right?
Stay strong.
She's still up there.
Don't leave her, please.
[groaning] Travis,
he's got torpedo's.
OK.
Oh my God.
OK.
Stay focused.
Listen to me.
You've got this.
You've got this.
OK.
OK.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
Natalya is on top deck.
I'm going to go help her.
Bryce, you can't.
It's far too dangerous.
What else do you suggest?
We got to get her
down from there.
Look, I'll be smart.
I'm not just going to
throw myself at that thing.
Try to get to the control
room and make a connection
with someone, all right.
Yeah.
I'll try and find
the electricity
and see if I can
get the power going.
There's usually an emergency
call out system in place.
Try that first.
See if you can get
hold of one of these,
and we can keep in
touch, all right?
Be safe.
[siren blaring]
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
It's OK.
It's OK.
I feel sick.
You know, you're
just in shock.
So I'm going to go
get you some water.
OK?
Is it still out there?
Come in.
Hey, Lara.
Can you read me?
Can anyone read me?
Come in.
Lara.
Lara.
Oh, Travis.
Thank God.
Look, we're trying to figure
things out up here, OK.
But we are going to get you back
on the boat as soon as we can.
That's easier said than done
when she's circling the boat.
She's still down
there with you?
She circled around about four
times in the last few minutes.
She's not going anywhere.
There's no way I can get to the
ship without her spotting me.
You better start telling
me what the hell is going on.
What we got messed up with?
The crew that came out here
were sent out to look for it.
To find evidence
that it existed.
When they went offline, we
knew something had got them.
The recordings told us
everything we needed to know.
We were sent out here
not as a rescue mission,
but to do what they were
meant to do, but safely.
And what exactly is it?
The Loch Ness Monster.
Sit up for me.
Yeah.
OK.
Oh.
It's OK.
It's OK.
Hey.
[sobbing]
I'm going to go find something
to get you cleaned up, OK?
Just stay there?
[sobbing]
[groaning]
It's OK.
I'm coming.
[screaming]
It's OK.
I'll be with you in a minute.
It's OK.
I'm just getting something.
I'll be with you in a minute.
[groaning]
Hey.
It's OK.
It's OK.
Ewan.
[sobbing]
Ewan.
It's not working.
It's the power.
We need to find a way to
get the power back on again.
You are in the upper deck
driver's station, right?
I'm on the lower deck.
The whole ship has
gone into lockdown.
I don't see it around.
You need to get out of
there when I'm done.
We'll have to wait
it out, and figure
out what we're going to do, OK?
There is a room below
the deck, downstairs,
I think where the electrics are.
I think we can find a way
to get the boat going again.
Come on down.
We'll figure it out.
Look, the door is locked.
I can not get in.
I'm going to have to come
across, and down to get you.
OK?
I'll wait here.
I don't see it around.
OK.
Not today.
[gun shot]
[screaming]
MAN 2: (ON RADIO)
What's going on?
Lara, come in.
We need to get the ship
moving and get out of here now.
MAN 2: (ON RADIO) I can fire
the torpedoes at that thing.
I could take it out.
No, you listen to me.
You cannot aim in the
dark like that, OK?
It's dangerous and could be
worth nothing if you haven't
got proper sight on that thing.
MAN 2: (ON RADIO) If I hurt it.
Got it's attention, and
have it coming for me,
I could fire it straight
down the fucker's throat.
No.
No.
No.
No.
Travis, no.
That's crazy.
God damn it.
If I could just--
there must be an
easier way out of this.
[upbeat music]
He is chasing right behind me.
Travis.
She's on my fucking tail.
I can't get her fucking off me.
Travis.
Shit.
I think I lost her.
We could just get
the electrics going.
We can figure out a way to
get you back on the ship,
and we could distract
it some other way.
Travis.
Travis, can you hear me?
Travis.
MAN 2: (ON RADIO) I read you.
Thank God.
OK.
Stay with me, OK?
[sobbing]
Travis, do you read me?
I read you.
OK.
OK.
Sleep well, you fucker.
Ava, what happened?
You gotta help.
Whatever happened on
the deck, something
got into him from that
thing like a parasite.
It got out and it's
here on the ship.
Does Lara know?
I haven't seen
her since earlier.
Bryce, this is more than
we could ever imagine.
We need to get off the boat now.
Now.
We need to warn Lara.
Yeah.
Let's go.
Let's go.
[growling]
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
[screaming]
Help me.
Help me.
[siren blaring]
Ava, for god's sake, help me!
No!
[screaming]
Help me.
Lara, move.
Get over it, quick.
Quick.
What was that thing?
Look at me.
Look at me.
Look at me.
Look at me.
Hey.
Hey.
It came out of Ewan's body.
It grew inside of
him and it came out.
Mutating.
It was mutating.
It was growing.
Growing, growing
at a rapid rate.
Well, we can't stay
down here with it.
The way it was growing,
it could be the size
of one of us in an hour.
Lara.
Travis, we read you.
Lara, what's going on?
There's something
on board the ship.
It's a small creature
of some kind.
I don't know.
NARRATOR: Entering
emergency oxygen levels.
Well, I am really sorry
to add to your troubles,
but my oxygen is running low.
Look, we need to
get off this ship.
Yeah.
This way.
We go.
OK.
This way.
MAN 2: (ON RADIO) My
oxygen is running low.
And there is no
way that I can get
back to the ship with that
thing lurking around out there.
We'll figure it out.
OK.
Just-- just stay put.
How did that thing
come out of Ewan?
Well, just I--
well, at first I thought when he
got covered in gunk on the deck
that it was just like
a reaction to it,
or some kind of like sickness.
But now I'm beginning to
think that the creature
knew what it was doing.
And that's how it reproduces.
I think some of the gunk
got into Ewan's system
through like a cut or something.
And then the creature bred
and harvested inside of him,
and it grew.
And then when it was ready,
it came out of his body.
It like ate him
from the inside out.
Judging by his corpse anyway.
Whatever that thing is, it's
going to get us either way.
We go upper deck,
it's mother gets us.
We're screwed no matter what.
Lara, did you make
any communication?
No, nothing.
You know, Travis he--
he told me that they
all knew from the start
what they were
getting involved with.
Oh.
He said that thing
had been cited before
and we're the second team
to go looking for it.
Oh, and the first ones were
the ones that never returned.
OK.
Did he have any
idea of what we're
dealing with that's out there?
He said it was--
Go on.
Go on.
Have you ever heard
of the Loch Ness?
It's a legend.
No, it's out there.
Bryce, it's not a legend.
And what's the
point of all this?
Like what were we meant to
do if we caught it anyway?
I don't get it.
I don't know.
To locate it.
To hunt it.
I don't know.
My best guess
would be to tag it.
To find out where its home
was, and see whatever else
was lurking down there with it.
If it is what you're saying.
What about Travis?
He's still out there.
It's just as
dangerous in here as it
is out there at the moment.
There's no point
bringing him in.
Wait.
No.
No.
Travis, he has those
torpedoes on board.
He said to me earlier
when I spoke to him
that, if he can distract
it, lure it out some way,
he can take it out.
Yeah.
Making it safer out there
than it is down here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then we can just keep
the the small creature--
we can contain it down here,
so it doesn't make it above to.
But getting that
things attention,
I mean, for Travis, it's
most likely going to take
him out of the way surely.
[bang]
My God, did you hear that?
Holy--
Shh.
Please.
Shit.
Shit.
Ava, get to the
electrics room.
Get the ship started.
Lara, go above deck.
Start the ship up.
We'll meet above deck.
OK.
On the count of three.
1, 2, 3.
Go.
Go.
Go.
He's up there.
Get out of here.
Go.
Go.
Go.
Go.
Go.
Go.
Go.
Go.
- OK.
Go.
Go.
Go.
You OK?
Mm-hmm.
Travis.
Travis, come in.
[groaning]
OK.
Come on.
Come out for me,
you little fucker.
Ava.
Ava, do you read me?
I read you.
It looks like the main power.
You are looking for a
main lever down there.
It will take a few seconds
for the power to start
but you will know it's working.
[engine revving]
Yes.
Oh, you did it.
Ava, come up.
We're ready now.
Hey, I'm coming up.
OK.
[growling]
She's down here with me.
[sobbing]
Ava, come in.
[screaming]
Lara.
It got Ava.
[growling]
Think it pissed her off.
What?
[thunder cracking]
Lara, get the hell
out of here, all right?
What?
We got you into this.
No.
No.
No.
Travis.
No.
No.
No.
Now, I'm going to get you out.
Please.
[beeping]
NARRATOR: Please, abort.
Yeah.
I'll abort something, all right.
Well, hey there.
Oh, no you don't.
[screaming]
Travis.
I think she's dead.
He did it.
Let's get the
hell out of here.
[growling]
[music playing]
