Based on the short story by H.P. Lovecraft which is a interesting read, writer Dennis Paoli manages to do a decent job of putting it to the screen wit Stuart Gordon directing who is not shy with Lovecraft's work.
Even at first glance of the small fishing town there is a dark tone atmosphere and why the people seem a bit fishy (pun intended of course  ) then comes the drunk who reveals everything in a good shot flash back story. The acting from lead Ezra Godden starts off a bit wooden then actually gets better as the film goes on to the point of cheering him on. The CGI effects seem a bit amateurish and cartoonish but the gruesome moments makes up for it, still think this was a decent blind buy for me. Attachment 241840 | I've always rated Dagon.
