Watch Dagon For Free

Absolutely Fantastic

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The Shadow over Innsmouth is one of my favourite Lovecraft stories and so I began watching this with some apprehension knowing how unsuccessful many attempts to bring the unique feel of Lovecraft to the screen. I was pleasantly surprised particularly by the beginning of the film which captured the bleak terror of Innsmouth to perfection. The shambling, deformed locals are excellently captured as is the decaying, sodden town. On the downside I wasn't enamoured by the Woody Allen-like lead character unfortunately and found him quite irritating throughout. I found Barbara much more believable as a character and felt she captured the fear of the situation better than the lead male. Also the director's fondness for gore resulted in one of the most explicit and gory scenes I've ever come across in a film but which served no purpose towards the plot whatsoever and just served to undermine the disquieting tone of the earlier part of the film. Still a good effort and definitely enjoyable.

I wanted to like this one, especially after Stuart Gordon's RE-ANIMATOR and FROM BEYOND, both of excellent revamps of HPL. But this Dagon is over-lit, generic "big" music, and overall not very atmospheric. Jeffrey Coombs would have compensated for this, he's got screen presence. Instead this hero is a dorky doof better suited as a Friday the 13th victim - you just want this goof to get it - and we sure don't need to see him making out with a hot girlfriend for the first 10 minutes. It's reminiscent of the endless Italian horror cheesers of the 1980s, more adolescent than adult. A shame.Read the original HPL - that story literally oozes gloom; the film version just drips.

Underrated, great atmospheric horror. It really drags you into your screen.If you haven't seen this movie and you would see the scene which marks the beginning of the Dagon era then i'm sure you can't wait to see it all.I've never seen anything like it.H.P. Lovecraft has many other good stories but I personally think this one is the best screen adaptation. Stuart Gordon did a wonderful job! Castle Freak, The Pit and the Pendulum and From Beyond are also worth watching.

I have just watched this film for the second time, so that means I like it, enough to buy the DVD. There are so many big-budget and even-bigger-budget films out there that are utter rubbish, insult the viewers' intelligence and waste their time & money. Its a genuine pleasure to see this small budget production, and a Spanish one at that, showing the big boys a thing or two. I agree with a previous poster's comments about Hollywood being too scared to touch this material, which is a real tragedy. Such imaginative writing deserves the bigger budget treatment. Firstly I am a real fan of H.P.Lovecraft's work and to best appreciate the film, you'd probably be well advised to read some of his work, particularly in this case, "Shadow over Innsmouth" and "Dagon", both in the excellent volume: "Necronomicon". Lovecraft's writing has a claustrophobic, nightmarish and dreadful feel and the film captures these attributes admirably. The film spends a lot of time in pursuit of the "hero" by nightmarish creatures who, alone would pose but a slight threat. Its their strength in numbers and perseverance that creates the real fear factor, and vain attempts to hide and subsequent discovery and flight are genuinely scary. Add in the constant rain and flooding, used to great effect in "Bladerunner" and "The Hitcher", the decrepit feel to the village and you have a superb backdrop to paint on the action. The actors may not be A-listers but they do a decent enough job and Macarena Gomez's countenance is striking. Special effects are also decent enough considering the budget, and there is a mild sexual undertone too which is in keeping with the popularity of more current productions like "Game of Thrones" and "Sparticus". There is one gory scene that in my opinion interrupts the progressive feel to the action. In summary I'd say another underrated low budget triumph, I would liken to the original "The Wicker Man". Watch it and I am confident you will have seen worse. In my opinion a lot worse.
