| Bryant Frazer's Deep FocusBryant FrazerWhat we really have here is a cheap horror potboiler: Stuart Gordon's Attack of the Fish People. I swear that's not a bad thing. |
| StarburstIan WhiteFor our money, Dagon is very possibly the best Lovecraft movie produced so far (we're overlooking Carpenter's underrated In The Mouth of Madness because that was only tentatively inspired by Lovecraft's mythos). |
| AboutFilm.comCarlo CavagnaNo one other than H.P. Lovecraft fans should bother. |
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaUma história absurda que consegue gerar alguns bons momentos de tensão (especialmente em sua primeira metade, quando ainda não sabemos para onde o filme está caminhando). |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonDagon isn't as outright funny as Gordon's Re-Animator or From Beyond, but it has moments of spunkiness to puncture the incredible strangeness of it all. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullThe setting is worth ogling when the women have their shirts on. |
| User ReviewCristiano TIts one of the best Lovecraft movies which is a rare gem in a sea of worse than crap Lovecraftion movies. |
| User ReviewScott CWOOOT! love it love it love it and idk why? |
| User ReviewHenri PIt´s a great horror film, i liked a lot of horrible scenes in it and a lot of scenestaht make you think what kind of twisted mind HP Lovecraft could have to make such horrible monsters, its a great one. |
| User ReviewMax COne of the best adaptions of the Innsmouth atmosphere, although this is not an adaption of the Lovecraft story of same name. A few low-budget scenes, but an overall great movie, worth seeing if you're Lovecraft fan. |
