Peter Mullan Goes on a Monster Hunt in The Loch Is the water-dwelling beast known as Nessie just an old salt’s tale, or could there be something real to the legend of the mythical beast? That’s the question posed by the new film looking to delve into those waters of mystery.

According to Screen Daily, director James Watkins (The Woman In Black) has a joint company with Altitude, which is launching its first production, The Loch, written by Watkins and Simon Duric. Watkins was initially attached to direct, but now Duric will take the helm. Peter Mullan (pictured; War Horse, Trainspotting) has come on board to lead the cast.

“The film is a character-driven horror thriller that is an update on the Loch Ness monster myth. The story follows a family hiding their own secrets who encounter dark forces on a weekend holiday near Loch Ness.”
