Robson C 3d Um jovem casal busca ajuda em uma vila pesqueira espanhola, depois que o barco, onde estavam, se chocou com as rochas, devido a uma tempestade. Mas logo eles descobrem que os moradores adoram um antigo deus do mar e eles estão correndo perigo. Nesta pequena produção espanhola, o trio Stuart Gordon - Brian Yuzna e H. P. Lovecraft se unem para mais um filme. Aqui a base é um dos primeiros contos do escritor. O filme tem um bom trabalho de maquiagem para os estranhos moradores da cidade, porém o CGI utilizado é extremamente risível, mal feito e falso. O elenco cumpre o seu papel, pois o roteiro estica uma situação: o personagem principal (paul Marsh) fugindo dos habitantes. O que acaba cansando. Interessante que o ator Ezra Godden imita muito os trejeitos do ator Jeffrey Combs, que ficou muito ligado a essas adaptações de Lovecraft por Stuart Gordon. Apesar do filme não decolar, tem o seu interesse. See more Christopher K. @gtrod47 Nov 26 Director from the Reanimator. Strange plot. Not humourous, unlike Reanimator. Pretty different from other movies in general, but reminds me a little bit of the first Hellraiser in tone. See more Bigbossbalrog @Jigokju Sep 11 Great movie! Especially if you like fish people!

The atmosphere and creature effects are both adequate and convincing. You can almost smell the brine In the sea water. Well done. See more Jackson87 C 10/14/2024 Dagon (2001), directed by Stuart Gordon, is a horror film that adapts H.P. Lovecraft’s short stories “Dagon” and “The Shadow over Innsmouth.” Set in a remote coastal village, the film follows a group of friends whose boating trip takes a terrifying turn when they become stranded and discover that the locals harbor dark secrets. The film's atmosphere is one of its strongest assets. The eerie, isolated setting of the village of Imboca is beautifully shot, creating a sense of foreboding that permeates the film. Stuart Gordon effectively builds tension, making excellent use of practical effects to bring Lovecraft's nightmarish creatures to life. The design of the fish-like beings is particularly striking, contributing to the film’s unsettling vibe. Ezra Godden delivers a commendable performance as the lead character, Paul, who finds himself grappling with madness as the horror unfolds around him. However, the supporting characters are somewhat underdeveloped, making it hard for viewers to fully connect with their fates. This lack of depth can dilute the emotional impact of certain scenes. While Dagon successfully captures Lovecraftian themes of cosmic horror and the unknown, the pacing occasionally falters. The film drags in parts, and some plot points may feel predictable to seasoned horror fans. Additionally, the film's climax, while visually impressive, may leave some viewers wanting more in terms of narrative resolution. See more Read all reviews
