Dagon
Based on the short story by the undisputed master of the macabre, H. P. Lovecraft. A boating accident off the coast of Spain sends Paul and his girlfriend to the dilapidated fishing village of Imboca looking for help. As night falls people start to disappear and things not quite human start appearing.
Whilst running for his life as the entire town pursues him, Paul discovers Imboca's dark secret… the freakish half-human creatures that populate the town.They pray to Dagon, a monstrous God of the sea. All outsiders are sacrificed – the men are flayed alive and the women offered as unwilling brides to bear Dagon's unholy children.
Critic Reviews:
- " Gordon knows what his audience wants, and time and again he proves a deft hand at giving it to them. " – Grant Watson
- " There's nothing wrong with a well-done, atmospheric, spooky chiller, especially coming from a director far less frequently heard from than he deserves to be. " – Rob Gonsalves
