DAGON

Ahoy There! Be Warned, Fishy Things Are Afoot in Dagon (2001)

Movie Specs:

Title: Dagon

Genre: Horror

Year: 2001

Country: Spain (with a mostly Spanish cast)

The plot follows Paul (Ezra Godden), a regular Joe who, along with his pals, gets shipwrecked off the coast of Spain. Seeking help, he stumbles upon a creepy fishing village where the locals seem...off. Like, fish-worshipping, cultist kind of off. Think "The Wicker Man" meets "The Little Mermaid," with a healthy dose of slimy tentacles thrown in for good measure.

The acting by the main cast is decent, with Godden doing a solid job as our bewildered protagonist. Unfortunately, some of the supporting villagers deliver performances that are about as convincing as a used car salesman. But hey, that's part of the B-movie charm, right?

The camerawork captures the atmosphere nicely, with a gritty, almost dreamlike quality that evokes those late 90s thrillers. The sound design is appropriately creepy, with unsettling whispers and the ever-present lapping of waves against the shore.

Now, for the good, the bad, and the Cthulhu-esque. Here's my take:

The Good: The story is a fun, pulpy blend of Lovecraftian horror and action-adventure. If you're new to H.P. Lovecraft's work, Dagon offers a thrilling introduction to his signature themes of cosmic dread and unknowable entities. The B-movie vibes add a layer of campy fun that keeps things from getting too bogged down.

The Bad: The acting by some of the supporting cast is a bit rough around the edges, and the CGI hasn't exactly aged like a fine wine. Especially in the beginning, the effects used to show the boat crashing are a bit on the "bargain bin" side.

The Verdict: Overall, Dagon is a 3 out of 5 star experience. The story and main cast are solid, but the acting and CGI leave a bit to be desired.

Netizen Noise: Reviews for Dagon are a mixed bag. Some appreciate its Lovecraftian leanings and B-movie aesthetic, while others find it cheesy and uneven. The film had a small budget of $4.8 million and only managed a box office collection of €212,699.

Bonus Trivia: Did you know that Dagon is actually a loose adaptation of two Lovecraft stories: "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" and "Dagon"? Also, the film's dedication is to the late Spanish acting legend Francisco Rabal, who passed away shortly after filming.
