Okay... I am not even sure where to start her. I rented this movie with some sort of expectations considering what the comments here say and what I had seen previously on the net. Well, I am not even sure if all that positive buzz and the movie I saw were a match. Did all of you guys even watch the same movie??
The story was silly, although it may have sounded better on paper, it was poorly executed. Maybe the plot wouldn't have been so bad had there been more development of it and the film's characters. I don't even want to comment on the special effects, I know this film's budget was at a minimum but it looked past the point of a children's animated cartoon at times. Even the main monster himself was only shown for a brief second, and it looked like a muddled mess!
I almost had to stop the movie cause I was having problems getting into it. I mean, one of the couples makes it to the village and instantly these ridiculous fish people are chasing them and that seems to be the whole movie. Then we throw in a plot to explain why these fish people are after them, and it all seems so silly. Had it been carried out in a more stylistic fashion with better acting, a bigger budget, and a better script, I might have given this film a more positive rating. There are not many films that I feel like fast forwarding but this one is right up there... and even when I got to the end (just so I got to see Dagon) it wasn't even worth my effort to push a fast forward button.
To finish this off... I will just leave you with a line, "There are two possibilities..."! If you have heard this line too many times in 90 minutes, you have gone too far! Turn back now!
3/10
