for a start it isnt Dagon! it's The Shadow Over Innsmouth....

Unlike the rather funny The Last Lovecraft: Relic Of Cthulhu (2009 , Henry Saine) which took various HPL themes and grafted a Jay & Silent Bob vibe onto it, NOT for everyone i'd say, but it didnt annoy me as much as the D film.

DAgon the movie is a hybrid of the short story dagon AND shadow over innsmouth!

The opening takes some ideas very loosley from the short story Dagon with the black sticky landmass emerging from the sea and then moves straight into the innsmouth story. It was appropriate to use both stories as they both refer to dagon, the first directly while the events in innsmouth are a result of dagon worship. Theres plenty changed (dagon was set in the first world war, innsmouth some time in the twenties) but the key story about the town reverting to the old gods in hard times, the cult of the esoteric order of dagon and the interbreeding between elder gods and humans are all straight from the stories.

No strings attached
House of the Devil(Ti West)....Saw this on the horror channel and I liked it. It was made to look like it was filmed in the 80's I think, and in most parts it looked that way. Over all it could have had a few more scares in it, but otherwise was quite good

fun entertainment

Dream Home - Funny how one scene can ruin an entire movie. The set up is promising - an anti heroine slashing her way into the HK property market. Bit of satire, bit of gore. Why ruin it then with a repulsive bit of business with a pregnant woman? All sympathy for our leading lady's plight goes out the window and we're left with a pretty pointless succession of gore scenes. The SFX are good and the violence inventive but I felt this could've been so much better.

I love the 80s feel to this movie.

The Nun - yet another water themed horror film from the Fantastic Factory. It's not very good (awful plotting, stilted acting) but it is extremely likeable for some reason. I didn't feel I had wasted my time with it.

Whatever. I was merely refering to the tone of the film Dagon. Kooky isnt a word i associate with HPL imo. Dagon the entity is all over the canon. why not use The Thing on The Doorstep then? it has more in common with TSOI....

Rant Over.


AAAnyway....rewatched Maniac (Bill Lustig, 1980) this just gets better and better after time. why o why o why did i leave it so late? c'est la vie and all that...must get The Last Horror Film!!!
