Movie Reviews of Dagon
Movie Review: Surprised and Pleased!
Summary: 5 Stars
A refreshingly good film adaptation of an H.P. Lovecraft story! Based on the short story "Shadow Over Innsmouth", this movie takes a few liberties with the story (such as changing the location from Massachusetts to Spain), but retains the essence of the Lovecraftian horror. Plus, the special effects are actually good! Yes, that's right, good special effects in a Lovecraft movie! Whether a fan of Lovecraft, horror, or just good movies, I would highly recommend this one!Movie Review: One of the best Lovecraftian movies ever
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was excellent, the story was taut and suspenseful, the effects were effective and not overdone, and the story was really interesting. I have been a big HPL (Howard Phillip Lovecraft) since 1965 and this is one of the best adaptations Ive ever seen of a HPL story. If your a HPL fan get this, if your a horror buff get this, if you just want something fun to watch thats entertaining and exciting but not overly gory or bloody get this.Movie Review: eerie
Summary: 5 Stars
Director Stuart Gordon's latest offering is a really creepy little gem which generates a fantastic feeling of dread.The dvd has a brilliant Dolby Digital sound mix which greatly adds to the atmosphere.Interesting music too.The only thing that bothered me slightly was the attempt by the lead actor to inject some humour Bruce Campbell style into the proceedings.It would have been more effective played completely straight.Movie Review: Best Lovecraft movie yet!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I feel Dagon is the best movie-interpretation of H.P.Lovecraft to date, and certainly Stuart Gordon's best work to date. Some would argue that Re-Animator is better, but I feel it's too ... comical. Dagon is genuinely disturbing, as Lovecraft should be. Gordon throws in some pretty visceral gore, but it's not really out of place in it's own Lovecraftian manner. 7 tentacles writhing for this film!Movie Review: The Best Lovecraft Adaptation I've Seen!
Summary: 5 Stars
What else can I say? It's great. For the most part, it's an adaptation of "The Shadow Over Innsmouth", but bits of other stories ("Arthur Jermyn" and, of course, "Dagon" come to mind) weave their way into it, too. Lovecraft readers dissapointed by "The Dunwich Horror" and "Re-animator" should see "Dagon". Trust me on this.
