Dagon - worth $9.99 CDN?
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?

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: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...291393-3483323 I think I may swing by on my way home and grab it then. |

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.

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.

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:

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!
