I remember watching a film with my brother in the early/mid 1980's

It involves (from what I remember), a small group of kids who discover a derilect farm with a lake in it.

In the middle of the lake what appears to be a giant, loch ness-style 'monster' appears, who takes one of the boys under the water.

They all think that he's dead until they find it it's actaully a mechanical digger covered in algae and mud, that keeps filling with air and moving above the water (making it LOOK like a monster)...

They realise that the boy might still be alive, so drain the lake...

... please help if you can, it's really annoying me not knowing the name of this film... I've been looking on the net for WEEKS now lol...

Thank you sooo much :)

I've got to say, I'm VERY new to this website (only joined today)... but I've browsed so many questions and (at the back of my mind) I was thinking to myself...

I bet if ANYONE knows the answer to this question, this 'Quinn F' will do :)

So thank you soooo much ;)
