In terms of movies, however, Dagon was Gordon’s last pure horror film. Two years later he followed it up with a very loose adaptation of The Black Cat starring Jeffrey Combs as Poe.
Lovecraft and Edgar Allen Poe with his contributions to the Masters of Horror anthology series.In 2005 Gordon directed an adaptation of Lovecraft’s Dreams in the Witch House. Gordon would re-visit his obsessions with H.P. It’s yet another over-achieving literary adaptation along the lines of Castle Freak and Pit and the Pendulum. It’s a little movie about an evil so vast it’s almost beyond human comprehension. The man nobly devoted his life to thinking up abominations so fucking disgusting they make you want to puke: truly a life well lived.ĭagon is a modest movie in scope, budget and ambition. The special effects and character design are as impressive as you would expect from a Gordon production.
When the fish monsters finally arrive they are triumphs of low-budget imagination, slimy, ghoulish and viscerally unnerving.
