Very best movie i ever watch

Absolutely the worst movie.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

This is the best adaptation of Lovecraft made to date... for simple reason that it is the only adaptation of Lovecraft made to date. All predecessors are just inspired by some Lovecraft story or his mythos overall, while Dagon is, although modernized, pretty faithful adaptation of "The Shadow Over Innsmouth". Finally! Although I have to admit that most of 18 Lovecraft inspired movies I saw so far were entertaining, I was being seriously annoyed by lack of real adaptation of this great master of horror. Considering really small budget that destroys any serious attempt of bringing supernatural to the screen, this movie is real masterpiece.8/10

This was recommended to me by a friend, otherwise I would never have found this great nugget.A distressed couple end up on a remote seaside village where it is immediately apparent something fishy is going.This is based on Lovecraft so therefore has a certain tone and pace to it. The film is essentially a chase movie but compared to modern movies it may seem a bit tame - do not expect exploding oil tankers or roundhouse kicks.There is a real Hammer House feel to the film from the relaxed pace to the mysterious yarn spinning hobo to the scattering of topless beauties.Some of the CGI is a little ropey in places but the horror scenes are affective and well managed, most importantly the overall feel is perfect.If you need lots of action to hold your attention this may not be for you. But if you are a Cthulhu fan, have a bit of patience and imagination this is a great movie.

I wanted to like this one, especially after Stuart Gordon's RE-ANIMATOR and FROM BEYOND, both of excellent revamps of HPL. But this Dagon is over-lit, generic "big" music, and overall not very atmospheric. Jeffrey Coombs would have compensated for this, he's got screen presence. Instead this hero is a dorky doof better suited as a Friday the 13th victim - you just want this goof to get it - and we sure don't need to see him making out with a hot girlfriend for the first 10 minutes. It's reminiscent of the endless Italian horror cheesers of the 1980s, more adolescent than adult. A shame.Read the original HPL - that story literally oozes gloom; the film version just drips.

I have just watched this film for the second time, so that means I like it, enough to buy the DVD. There are so many big-budget and even-bigger-budget films out there that are utter rubbish, insult the viewers' intelligence and waste their time & money. Its a genuine pleasure to see this small budget production, and a Spanish one at that, showing the big boys a thing or two. I agree with a previous poster's comments about Hollywood being too scared to touch this material, which is a real tragedy. Such imaginative writing deserves the bigger budget treatment. Firstly I am a real fan of H.P.Lovecraft's work and to best appreciate the film, you'd probably be well advised to read some of his work, particularly in this case, "Shadow over Innsmouth" and "Dagon", both in the excellent volume: "Necronomicon". Lovecraft's writing has a claustrophobic, nightmarish and dreadful feel and the film captures these attributes admirably. The film spends a lot of time in pursuit of the "hero" by nightmarish creatures who, alone would pose but a slight threat. Its their strength in numbers and perseverance that creates the real fear factor, and vain attempts to hide and subsequent discovery and flight are genuinely scary. Add in the constant rain and flooding, used to great effect in "Bladerunner" and "The Hitcher", the decrepit feel to the village and you have a superb backdrop to paint on the action. The actors may not be A-listers but they do a decent enough job and Macarena Gomez's countenance is striking. Special effects are also decent enough considering the budget, and there is a mild sexual undertone too which is in keeping with the popularity of more current productions like "Game of Thrones" and "Sparticus". There is one gory scene that in my opinion interrupts the progressive feel to the action. In summary I'd say another underrated low budget triumph, I would liken to the original "The Wicker Man". Watch it and I am confident you will have seen worse. In my opinion a lot worse.
