I am such a big Lovecraft fan and most of the films that pass for his mythos kinda leave me cold. In a bad way. Cthulhu Mansion was beyond bad, From Beyond was alright, it had the ookie tenacle thingies pretty much right but the atmoshpere was wrong, Die Monster Die was good, it had the atmosphere but not the monsters, In the Mouth of Madness was close but too surreal for my tastes, and the Dunwich Horror just came off as being a tad silly. Having said that I watched Dagon yesterday. I bought it at a discount store for less than 5 bucks and I figured what the heck.
I would have prefered a more period piece, say in New England at the turn of the century or in Victorian England, me being such a sucker for period films, but modern Spain worked pretty well. Bottom line? I liked it. Liked it enough to watch it again from time to time.
The minions were nasty, the Queen was tres cool and the flaying scene...yikes!
Yup, I did indeedy-do like this. Certainly worth 5 bucks.
