L.A. Weekly
Razor sharp and funny as hell, Incident at Loch Ness is the harpoon hurled into the hot-air balloon of “reality” entertainment. - 75
New York Post
Can be taken as a parable about cinema art vs. commerce. If that's too much to think about, just enjoy the off-beat humor. - 70
Variety
Constructed Chinese-box style as a series of films within films, with a faked one about the Loch Ness monster at the center, "Incident" will have maximum impact for the first auds to catch it before its sly central joke gets out. - 70
Los Angeles Times
An amusing mock documentary that spends considerable energy artfully trying to make you believe it's real as real can be. The movie is transparently a fake, but its counterfeit nature is the heart of its charm. - 60
TV Guide Magazine
It's actually a clever commentary on documentary filmmaking, an pretty good monster movie to boot. - 58
Entertainment Weekly
Incident at Loch Ness, unfortunately, is a riddle wrapped in a hoax stuffed inside a crock. - 50
Village Voice
The film slowly sheds its convincing identity as nonfiction and becomes a cruel parody of making-of docs, studio-movie pandering, and showbiz egomania. - 50
Christian Science Monitor
Starts cleverly but becomes more preposterous as it goes along.
