''Dagon'' is a 2001 horror movie loosely based on the Franchise/CthulhuMythos short story ''Literature/TheShadowOverInnsmouth'' by Creator/HPLovecraft. The film moves the action from New England to the coast of Spain, in the town of "Imboca" (which means the same as "Innsmouth"). ''Dagon'' is a highly atmospheric horror film steeped in mist and eerie themes. Despite being a modern update, many of the themes remain the same. Even if much overlooked, ''Dagon'' is worth a watch for many horror and Lovecraft fans.

* ShownTheirWork: The movie is actually almost completely faithful to Lovecraft's themes and stories. The director and producer also did extensive research on comparative religion, which shows in the design work regarding the various implements and decorative items the cult uses. The movie seems to imply "Dagon" is Cthulhu himself instead of a distinct entity, which is one of the actual interpretation of ''Literature/TheShadowOverInnsmouth''. About the only true inaccuracy is the film being an adaptation of ''Literature/TheShadowOverInnsmouth'' as opposed to...well, ''Literature/{{Dagon}}''.
