Once our wandering seafarers have dropped anchor we are up to our bulging eyes with cobblestone streets and decaying structures. Gordon’s tale chooses a contemporary setting but still maintains the Gothic feel of the source material, in itself, no mean feat. Lovecraft’s original dark fable speaks of the ancient God Dagon, who skulked about the darkest recesses of the Earth after being banished in the days before light. In the wrong hands it may well have been catastrophic, but here is the guy who made Re-Animator and From Beyond on his own shoestrings, he must have felt like a rollover lotto winner. The biblical connotations alone make Dagon one of the writer’s most grandiose works and Gordon’s $4.2 million kitty suddenly seems meager when endeavoring to tackle a tale of such magnitude. “Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.” Jdgs 16:23Īlthough this is adapted from classic Lovecraftian fiction The Shadow Over Innsmouth (and to lesser degree his book of the same name), it actually dates back to the Old Testament, long before Christianity. HP Lovecraft’s works, in particular, have held a constant source of fascination to Gordon and Dagon represents one such labor of love. Since giving us the legendary Re-Animator, he has gone on to direct a sequence of solid horror films including From Beyond, Dolls, The Pit & The Pendulum and Castle Freak as well as little-known gem Edmond, penned by David Mamet.

Stuart Gordon has long been a filmmaker whom I absolutely adore.
