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.

Lovecraft‘s novella The Shadow Over Innsmouth (1932) rather than on his earlier short story ‘Dagon’ (1919).

"BAND OF BROTHERS" (2001) - Episode Two "Day of Days" Commentary

"BAND OF BROTHERS" (2001) - Episode Two “Day of Days” Commentary

The last episode, ”Currahee” ended with Easy Company leaving England by air on June 5, 1944 to participate in the Allies’ invasion of Normandy. This second episode, ”Day of Days” re-counts Lieutenant Richard Winters and some members of Easy Company’s experiences during the drop into France on June 5 and during their assault of the German guns at Brécourt Manor on D-Day. 

Although the episode occasionally shifted to different viewpoints, the episode mainly focused upon Bill Guarnere, Donald Malarkey and especially Richard Winters. Winters became Easy Company’s new commander following the death of Lieutenant Thomas Meehan during the flight to Northern France. Before learning of Meehan’s death, Winters had to contend with the chaos and confusion that followed the airborne units’ drop into nighttime Normandy. Winters also had to deal with a hostile Guarnere, who was still angry over his older brother’s death. As for Malarkey, his first 24 hours in France proved to be interesting. He met a German prisoner-of-war who was born and raised nearly a hundred miles from him in Oregon. And he may have witnessed (or heard) the massacre of German prisoners-of-war by one Lieutenant Ronald Spiers of Dog Company. Or not. The following morning on D-Day, Winters assumed command of Easy Company and led a famous assault (which included Guarnere, Malarkey and Spiers with a few members of Dog Company) on the German artillery battery at Brécourt Manor, which was delaying the Allies’ assault upon Utah Beach. This was a pretty good episode that featured two exciting combat sequences. The longest, of course, featured the assault upon Brécourt Manor. And I must admit that I found it very exciting. The way director Richard Loncraine shot the sequence almost made it feel as if I had been watching it in real time with very little editing. Ironically, the one action sequence that really impressed me was Easy Company’s jump into France the previous night. The sequence, which started the episode, began with the viewpoints of various characters – even Easy Company’s doomed commander, Thomas Meehan. But when the sequence focused upon Winters’ time to jump, the camera followed him from his departure from the plane to his landing on French soil. The photography and special effects used for Winters’ jump was very effective. But I found myself really impressed by those opening moments featuring the German flak that the planes conveying Easy Company to their drop zones. It struck me as exciting and terrifying and it effectively conveyed the dangerous and claustrophobic situation that Easy Company and the planes’ pilots found themselves. The acting in ”Day of Days” proved to be solid. But I must admit that I cannot recall any exceptional performances. Damian Lewis continued his excellent performance as Easy Company’s premiere commander, Richard D. Winters. He handled both the dramatic and action sequences with ease. Frank John Hughes was just as effective handling William “Wild Bill” Guarnere’s emotional state during those first 24 hours of the D-Day Campaign, which varied from anger and aggression to grudging acceptance of Winters as a leader and a return to his sense of humor. And Scott Grimes was marvelous as Easy Company trooper, Donald Malarkey. Although I must admit that I found his determination to find a Luger for his younger brother a bit silly in one scene. Matthew Settle made his first appearance as Ronald Spiers, the junior officer from Dog Company, who will become Easy Company’s last commander by the end of the series. Although his appearance was minor, he gave a memorable performance as the young officer, whose aggressiveness will prove to be the talk of the 506th regiment. Actors such as Neal McDonough, Donnie Walhberg and Andrew Scott also gave solid support. I have a few quibbles about ”Day of Days”. One, I thought the episode was a bit too short. I realize that the following episode, ”Carentan”, will also focus on the Normandy invasion. But I think that this episode could have stretched at least another 10 to 15 minutes by focusing a little more on Guarnere and Malarkey’s experiences before they and Carwood Lipton encountered Winters on the night after they dropped into France. And I must admit that I found some of the dialogue rather cheesy. I also feel that screenwriter Loncraine could have left out Winters’ narration in the episode’s last five minutes. I found it unnecessary and a little clichéd. In conclusion, ”Day of Days” turned out to be a pretty solid episode. I would never consider it as one of my favorite episodes of the miniseries. But it did feature two top-notch action sequences and good performances, especially by Damian Lewis.
