Dagon is a 2001 Spanish horror film directed by
Stuart Gordon and written by Dennis Paoli.

Despite the title, the plot is actually based on
H. P. Lovecraft's novella The Shadow Over Innsmouth
rather than his earlier short story "Dagon" (1919).
In fact, the setting takes place in "Imboca", a
Spanish adaption of "Innsmouth". The film is
dedicated to actor Francisco Rabal immediately
before the credits.

In their book Lurker in the Lobby: A Guide to the
Cinema of H. P. Lovecraft, Andrew Migliore and John
Strysik write that "Gordon nicely creates the decayed
humanity of Lovecraft's Innsmouth" but also that the
film's "relentlessness" is "draining and numbing."
They conclude: "Dagon is a dark story well told, but
for some Lovecraft lovers, it may be a fish that
should have gotten away."

STORY:

A man with an unknown disease travels to an island
with his girlfriend where his relatives once lived,
hoping to find a cure to his illness. While it was
thought that his relatives were all dead he actually
finds them to be living underground. However
because they have been inbreeding for all these
years they don't look right, plus they have
developed a pretty bad eating habit. Will he chose
his girlfriend or his people?
