| Plot: | Based on a short story by H.P. Lovecraft, the undisputed master of the macabre, Dagon tells the story of Paul Marsh, a young man who discovers that the truth will not set him free instead it condemns him to a waking nightmare of unrelenting horror. A boating accident off the coast of Spain sends Paul and his girlfriend Barbara to the decrepit fishing village of Imboca looking for help. As night falls, people start to disappear and things not quite human start to appear. Paul finds himself pursued by the entire town. Running for his life, he uncovers Imboca's dark secret: that they pray to Dagon, a monstrous god of the sea. And Dagon's unholy offspring are freakish half-human creatures on the loose in Imboca... |

Continuity: In the scene where Paul is the hotel room, he removes the door slide bolt from the dresser and puts it on the door. He only puts one screw on it and its also positioned awkwardly. In the next shoot, there are two screws on the slide bolt with it placed correctly on the door. Continuity: In the house full of water, Abuelo forces Paul's head into a filthy toilet. When the toilet is shown in the same scene, it is totally white. Revealing mistakes: When Paul is trying to escape in the car and hits one of the villagers in the road, the man is yanked back, (by an obvious harness), before the car even touches him. Revealing mistakes: After Paul hits the man and the car runs off the road, the hubcap comes off the wheel twice... the second time the wire on the cap is clearly visible. |

Uxía Cambarro: Before you came, there had been no sacrifices for a year. Dagon needs her. Paul Marsh: Fuck Dagon! Uxía Cambarro: Yes, and their child will be immortal! Paul Marsh: Yeah, but there's a catch. It has to live the rest of its life as some kind of half-ass fish of the sea. Uxía Cambarro: [agreeing] In joy, with Dagon! [last lines] Uxía Cambarro: Pablo, it is your destiny. Paul Marsh: You stay away! I'll kill you all! I'll burn this fucking town to the ground! Uxía Cambarro: We had different mothers, but the same father. We are children of Dagon. Paul Marsh: You're a bunch of freaks. A bunch of fucking freaks! Uxía Cambarro: Your dreams. Remember your dreams, Pablo. They brought you here. Paul Marsh: No. They were nightmares. They weren't real. Uxía Cambarro: Every dream is a wish. Paul Marsh: [Paul collapses] Somebody help me! What's happening to me? Uxía Cambarro: You are my brother. You will be my lover - forever. Paul Marsh: [setting himself on fire] No possibilities. Uxía Cambarro: Pablo! No! No! No! [she drags him down into the sea where the flames are extinguished, and they swim away into the depths together] Intertitle: "We shall dive down through black abysses... and in that lair of the Deep Ones we shall dwell amidst wonder and glory forever." - H.P. Lovecraft Uxía Cambarro: You cannot care for her. You do not dream of her! You will go soon to a beautiful place. You will forget your world and your friends. There will be no time, no end, no today, no yesterday, no tomorrow - only the forever and forever, and forever without end. It is your fate. It is your destiny. Uxía Cambarro: I still have human feelings. Uxía Cambarro: Once he was young, and rich, and handsome - for a man. He brought women to Imboca. Outsiders. Your mother. |
