Dagon
“A cursed people... an ancient cult... a nightmare come true.”

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A coastal village offers shipwreck survivors a welcome that gets fishier by the minute. Stuart Gordon turns the escape into wet, frantic Lovecraftian horror, with grotesque discoveries around every corner. This is an effective nightmare with pulpy excess, and its nastier violence needs the right audience.
