"Captain" Seafield (Ryland Brickson Cole Tews), a lighthouse
keeper with no nautical experience, wants to avenge the death of his
father by the hands of the Lake Michigan Monster, and thus enlists the
help of weapon's expert Sean Shaughnessy (Erick West), radio expert Nedge
Pepsi (Beulah Peters), and former NAVY man Dick Flynn (Daniel Long) - but
at first his plans to track down the monster - to have Dick dive for it -
amount to little, and when he suggests for Dick to dive in the nude in
case the monster's a lady, that only produces ... an egg. Now Seafield and
company destroy the egg, and that gets the monster mad - and eventually, that
gets Sean killed. But Sean remains a restless spirit on earth bound to
avenge his death, and suddenly Seafield sees himself on the run from
Sean's spirit while still trying to face the monster. He summons his
deceased dad's ghost army, but the monster rips them to pieces. So
Seafield knows he has to face the monster on his own - but at their final
confrontation, he learns a few inconvenient truths about his father and
himself ... Lake Michigan Monster is basically a very
wild and anarchistic film, one that doesn't desparately try to make sense,
follow logic or even reason, but has an anything-goes mentality to it, and
doesn't take itself seriously at all. And while especially at the
beginning the humour might seem a tad puerile, the longer it goes, the
more the comedy drifts off into a nonsense realm that's reminiscent of Monty
Python more than anything else and manages to create a world
all of its own where things that shouldn't make sense make sense again and
vice versa. Not your everyday movie perhaps, but a fun trip for sure. This
movie is featured on the Arrow
Video Channel, which is available on Apple TV in the UK and US, as well as
on Amazon in the UK.
