RELEASED IN 1977 and written & directed by William R. Stromberg, “The Crater Lake Monster” details events in the high country of central California after a meteor strikes the eponymous (fictitious) lake and incubates a prehistoric egg, which hatches a plesiosaur-like creature that terrorizes the locals.

Now then - where to start. It would be easy to just rip it to shreds. It's rubbish - on just about every level. For reasons that are not immediately clear, it was digitally remastered (if, indeed, it was ever "mastered" in the first place) in 2011 which, if anything, seems to have merely exacerbated the already dreadful production standards. A meteor lands in the remote "Crater Lake" and before we know it, "Nessie"…
