 After crashing their yacht off the Spanish coast, a man begins searching for help in the nearby village but finds the inhabitants hold a deadly secret and begin to chase him for use in a secret ceremony for one of their rituals. What did everyone think of this one? |

Good choice GL.....I really like this one. It's one of my favorites based on Lovecraft's work. The effects were pretty weak at times, and I wasn't crazy about some of the cast....but really a lot of fun. I give it a 4.

I love the effects, as long as you're talking about the prosthetics. The CGI demon at the end is a little weak, but the majority of the work here is incredibly well-done. I liked the different looks attributed to the different members of the village, gave them each a sense of individuality as well as a clear-cut case of identifying them as belonging the group. I was actually more upset with the slow-paced middle section where he runs around the town far too much than anything, but the rest of the movie is really enjoyable and quite entertaining as you said, and mixed together with some nice atmosphere and gory kills, it really comes off quite well.

The CGI was what I was talking about, everything else was done pretty well. I agree with the overall atmosphere, which really worked for me, and I don't mind the pace of the film at all, so no complaints from me there.

Fair enough from me, Jen. Sounds about right, I guess.

So, no other thoughts on this one? It's a lot of fun, and we haven't really delved deeply into this one on any version of the board, so just a little surprised no one has anything else to say on this one.

I'd have given you more if I were able to log in. I think that it is my second favorite Lovecraft themed film (After Re-Animator, of course)

Just watched it. This movie is f*cking mental, I really liked it. Tons of wicked scenes and I agree with GL that the prosthetics and makeup were great and there were so many awesome gory moments. I also agree with GL that the middle was kind of boring but the end made up for it. Also the female lead was really hot and her being naked at the end didn't hurt.   Nice choice GL, I'm glad I watched this one. 4/5HMaM Tentative Dagon Verdict (as of 6/10/12):3.8/5 |

Sorry I missed this yesterday, but glad you enjoyed it, CT. To find so many of the same areas the same as I did must mean it is indeed a good film (and to know that you also share the same affection for nude European women also a little gratifying) but glad I could share a personal favorite with others.
