Dagon
Director: Stuart Gordon
Actors: Ezra Godden, Francisco Rabal, Raquel Meroño
PlotA boating accident in a storm off the coast of Spain strands Paul and his girlfriend Barbara near a desolate fishing village called Imboca. While Paul ventures into the eerie village for help, Barbara waits on the damaged boat. Upon arriving in the town, Paul encounters hostile and deformed villagers who seem to be harboring a dark secret. He seeks refuge in a decrepit hotel, where he meets an old man named Ezequiel who informs him about the town's disturbing pact with ancient sea gods and their unsettling rituals.
The further Paul delves into Imboca's history, the more he uncovers its connection to an ancient deity and realizes the villagers' true nature. As he struggles to escape the grasp of the town's menacing inhabitants, Paul faces a series of nightmarish situations that blur the lines between reality and madness. Trapped in a web of terror, he must find Barbara and uncover the truth behind Imboca's curse before it's too late.
