Dagon (2001) – Best Horror Movie You Never Saw

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

In the latest episode of our Best Horror You Never Saw video series, we take a look at the 2001 Lovecraftian horror film Dagon (OWN IT HERE / WATCH IT HERE), directed by none other than cult horror maestro Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator, From Beyond)!

The film itself is a great, nihilistic and nasty B-movie with tons of slimy prosthetic creatures, gory effects, as an old-school atmospheric horror vibe. 

Here's the official synopsis:

Paul Marsh (Ezra Godden) is yachting on the Spanish coast with three companions when a freak storm causes their boat to founder on the rocks. Paul goes to a nearby village to get assistance, as two of his friends have been trapped in the boat's wreckage. He notices that the locals seem odd, and their behavior grows increasingly strange. When Paul begins seeing a mermaid (Macarena Gomez) who has appeared in his nightmares, he realizes that the fearful world of his dreams is now a reality.

Anyway, this is a great film for those who can vibe off of its very particular wavelength, so we'd love it if you could check out our newest episode to help spread the word! And for more video content, please subscribe to our recently launched YouTube channel JoBlo Horror Videos!

This episode was written and edited by Damion Damaske, and narrated by Shawn Knippleberg. It was Produced by John Fallon and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian
