What It Is: An adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's The Shadow Over Innsmouth.Why I Watched It: I have a passing interest in the Cthulhu Mythos (the world and stories created by Lovecraft).
What I Thought: Crazy, crazy Spanish villagers fell on hard times, prayed to the fish god Dagon, and became little fish people servants as a result. Weird.
Dagon wasn't an exceptionally good horror movie. I think it was even below average fair, but it did encapsulate the standard Cthulhu themes pretty well. Regular people get faced with ancient evils far beyond their ability and comprehension and then must fight the losing battle in opposition or take the easy path of insanity.
Highlights: Freaky fish people and their freaky fishy limbs!
Who Should See It: Fans of "excellent" Lovecraft inspired films like The Re-Animator.
How Soon: Take your time.
