Movie Reviews of Dagon
Movie Review: One of the top Lovecraft movies
Summary: 5 Stars
Although it is an amalgamation of several Lovecraft stories, this is by far one of the best in recent memory. There's no real way to describe what effect it can have on you if you are truly open to letting it sink in. Although, on a technical level, there is room for improvement, this is true of most movies out there. The cinematographer understands the mood of HPL's stories, and captures it very nicely. Some scenes appear to be of lower quality than others, but their placement in the movie captures the feel of the moment, which is a technique that is lost to most hollywood directors in this day and age. I highly recommend it to not only HPL fans, but also to those horror buffs that are searching for something more intelligently written.Movie Review: Dagon Good
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes!!!
This is everything a horror movie should be.
It has abominations that should not exist
and evil goings-on galore (and la gore).
Great creepy atmosphere,
lots of creepy creepies and one creepy plot
that crescendos to a mind-numbing conclusion
(watch it all if you can).
The ending is horrific and perversely happy
at the same time.
Lovecraft and Gordon, oh my!
If your looking for sick, twisted humor,
a la "Re-animator", forget about it.
This is serious sick, twisted stuff.
Highly recommended for the horror fan.
Movie Review: Cthulhu Fhtagn IA IA !!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Another adaptation of horror master H.P. Lovecraft. With so many bad films based off of his work and butchered by no talent hacks, I was surprised when I rented Dagon. It isn't completely true to the original story but it holds enough to make it a good film. I won't waste my time telling you the plot. The effects are great for the budget and I'm alwayas happy to see the Elder Gods on screen. With a great story, creepy atmosphere and nice gore, it's well worth your money. Plus it features the amazing Macarena Gomez. I'd let her take me to live with the Deep Ones any day...Movie Review: Carefully crafted gem
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been a Stuart Gordon fan since I saw Re-Animator in high school. While I still enjoyed some of his follow-up work (From Beyond and Bride of Re-Animator) I got the feeling he wasn't really trying. Not so with Dagon. This is a creepy, atmospheric masterpiece. They didn't spend a whole lot of dollars on the production, but every single one of them shows up on screen.
I rented it on VHS last night, but I'm buying it on DVD today. (If nothing else, I need subtitles to find out what the hell that old spanish guy was saying.)
Highly recommended.
Movie Review: Very different story line
Summary: 5 Stars
I really did like this movie and the different kind of story. It was very imaginative and well acted. The story was very scarey at times and gorey as well. The only problem with the movie is that the director covered up Ezra Godden's nude scene with a half shot of his butt in the begining of the movie. Other than that, if you would like to see a town that prays to a fish god Dagon that wants human sacrafices and the town's people peeling off the faces of it's visitors then this movie is for you.
