Dagon (2001)

Cool intro.

Two people seeking help near where their ship has struck a rock find the people on shore extremely unusual, and it’s made quite visually clear that they have a very fishy aspect and don’t like visitors.

That’s right, a fishy requisite-t-t-t-t.

They also have a church dedicated to a being named Dagon who has taken over the regular church and demands human sacrifices.

So they sell their souls (or looks, at least) for ritual sacrifice and a whole barrel full of fish. Uh huh.

Nice statue-acting by the innkeeper.

Lots of atmosphere that quickly turns into a somewhat disturbing action-fest.

Some decent creepy FX.

A secondary encountered character provides some backstory for the whole fishy-cult thing.

The battle royale fight scene is kinda laughable.

And then there’s lots of cultists/lead character interactions.

The female who seems to be in charge of the cultists is intriguing, both to the lead and to me.

Lots of filler, though.
