    This is the "Spinal Tap" of documentary film making, minus some rudeness, plus some intelligence. Simply wonderfully entertaining.

    Much better than what critics are saying. Though ultimately confusing, it was thoroughly entertaining.

    I was sucked into this movie all the way. Iam anold fan of Herzog going back to Strotzeg and Mystery of Casper Hauser.

    I got this film on DVD and I think it is truly a one of a kind film. I remember Werner Herzog from his remake of Nosferatu and it was great to see that this mockumentary start a bit like a report paper.

    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.

    The film slowly sheds its convincing identity as nonfiction and becomes a cruel parody of making-of docs, studio-movie pandering, and showbiz egomania.

    Incident at Loch Ness, unfortunately, is a riddle wrapped in a hoax stuffed inside a crock.
