Dagon
DVD Ezra Godden
A Good (g*u*l*p) SLICE of Lovecraft,
My recent review of Carnival of Lost Souls got me in a
Lovecraftian mood & so I watched DAGON again (for about the 4th time.) I do
believe DAGON qualifies as a genuine cult movie--it's wonderful. Despite the
fact that it has all the hallmarks of your classic B foreign film, the movie
has a life of its own. I think it reflects Lovecraft imagery with uncanny
authenticity. The actress who plays an oddly appealing anti-heroine gothic
horror is a lot of fun to watch. DAGON will keep you rivited, or at least very
interested. The only reason I didn't give it an extra star is that the effects
are definitly "B" caliber, but that didn't affect my viewing pleasure
in the least. In fact, I kinda liked it that way.
