Dagon is the first story Lovecraft wrote and this adaptation is both good in the sense it captures the original material's unsettling story, but also bad because it goes through the classic monster movie routines with no respect to character development or quality of story and using the clichés I game to hate so much like "Americans in spooky European country trying to communicate by adding an 'o' to every English word", "Americans looking for police and/or a phone and, lacking that, looking for a car or a gun", Deus ex Machina overload and so on.
This is the second time I watch the film and, besides some scenes that I vaguely remembered, the rest of the movie was completely forgettable. In truth, with a little effort this could have been a decent movie. I don't get why they had to break it using such bad acting and such a silly script.
