Dagon - worth $9.99 CDN?

[Damed]

I recently saw this for sale at my local "cheapie" store for $9.99. I thought it looked interesting, but didn't buy it as I have never seen it nor heard of it. Is it worth picking up?

[Katatonia]

Dagon is actually quite a good little movie, directed by Stuart Gordon. I thought it was average the first time I saw it. The 2nd time I liked it more, the 3rd time I loved the damn thing.

Thanks for the info, Katatonia.

This is the movie here:

I think I may swing by on my way home and grab it then.

[hell ya!]

Yes it's worth it at that price. It's not a bad little flick, pretty good considering the crap they make nowadays. Definently worth $10.

I wouldn't spend a dollar on it. But there are quite a few people here who don't share my view on it.

it's great flick! don't hesitate. excellent atmosphere and a great movie to watch in shitty weather :)!

DAGON is one of my favorite genre movies of the past 5 years. I've watched it way more than I probably should have, but I don't regret that at all. It has a fantastic atmosphere and great characters.

I wouldn't think twice about it, Get it. It's a solid entry in the horror genre that will get better with age i'm sure.

Two words: Fuck yeah!

[Hellbilly]

Great flick, love it.
Definitely worth the price.

[Damed]

OK. I'm sold. I'll let you know what I think later in the week when I watch it!

One of my recent favorites as well. It was a total waste of a rental, since I knew I wanted a copy in my collection permanently, not return it to the video store next day. Here's Dave's review:

Thanks for the link to the review. If I had any doubts before, they are gone now.

Dagon is one of my true favorites, and it is definitely Stuart Gordon's best film to date. I had the pleasure of seeing it at a theater, and it was one of the best theatrical experiences I've had. At that price it is an absolute steal!

[Damed]

Picked it up, the last one they had. Going to give it a watch one night this week (have to do some work here tonight)

[Damed]

OK, so I stayed up much later than I should have last night, and watched this movie.

I was not disappointed. I really enjoyed it! Granted, the SFX were a little bit of cheese every now and again, but it is too be expected with a low(er) budget film. The ending surprised me the most - did not see that coming at ALL! Some nice T&A too! This movie has it all!

I have paid much more for worse movies. Thanks for convincing me to get it!

[Peter Vincent]

Yeah, I N-joyed the sh*t outta this movie too! Only trouble I had was understanding the old spanish guy. Needed the closed-captioning for his scenes...other than that...a creepy film. On my list to buy!

Be sure to watch it again sometime in the future. I liked it a lot more with subsequent viewings.

Definately get it for that price, its a really good movie. There are some really awful CGI shots here and there but for 10$ you cant go wrong, its a really good flick, there are some really nice tense scenes too
(the door lock, you'll know when you see it)

edit-wow thread went fast, you already bought it!

[KamuiX]

I agree with most people in this thread. Really good flick...personally, I think it's Stuart Gordon's best since Re-Animatior and From Beyond. Glad you dug it ;)

[Zodiac-Mindwarp]

Really glad that you enjoyed it!

A great movie. One of Gordon's Top 3 ever!

It is movies like this that make me happy with the occasional Blind Buy.

[Mortis]

Dagon is definitely worth $10.
