I’ve only seen parts of this movie, which seems profoundly silly. This wouldn’t be the first time that someone claimed to find remnants of a fake water monster, although it might be the first time this really did happen.  
Now, since we have Sherlock Holmes involved in a Loch Ness monster sighting, perhaps we can determine, once and for all, if the Loch Ness Monster really WAS Jack the Ripper
