Dagon
Directed by Stuart Gordon
A couple on a sailing trip crash in a Spanish village that worships a malevolent fish-like sea god named Dagon. Soon the pair are divided by the not-quite-human townies who have dark plans involving a man-eating mermaid and a marriage ritual - and nothing will stop them from reaching their goal. If people end up skinned alive, well, you can’t make an omelette without breaking some legs! Continuing his career-long love affair with H.P. Lovecraft, director Stuart Gordon (RE-ANIMATOR) used “Dagon” and “The Shadow Over Innsmouth” as sources for his scary sea story.

There's a kind of boring 20 minutes in here while we set things up, but then it turns into an almost Evil Dead style madcap romp. Very fun, cool sets, cool costumes. And some nasty gore towards the end!
It's beginning to look a lot like fishmen/Everywhere I go...Probably Gordon's best Lovecraft adaptation, and that's saying something.
The CGI does not hold up and the lead actor lacks charisma, but the mood and atmosphere more than make up for these shortcomings. A very good Lovecraft adaptation.
Really Really Really Great.
pretty close to the original story
