After the ship... This adaptation of an H.P. Lovecraft story from director Stuart Gordon (RE-ANIMATOR, FROM BEYOND) tells the story of Paul, an American businessman (Ezra Godden) on a cruise with his girlfriend off the coast of Spain. After the ship crashes, they go ashore to find a strange and ancient fishing village. As night falls, the town's denizens begin to mutate into fishlike creatures, and Paul learns that the town is ruled by Dagon--a monstrous sea god which forces the town to make human sacrifices in its honor. This Spanish/American production also borrows liberally from "The Shadow Over Innsmouth," a Lovecraft story in a similar vein. [More]

Uma história absurda que consegue gerar alguns bons momentos de tensão (especialmente em sua primeira metade, quando ainda não sabemos para onde o filme está caminhando).

There's nothing wrong with a well-done, atmospheric, spooky chiller, especially coming from a director far less frequently heard from than he deserves to be.

What we really have here is a cheap horror potboiler: Stuart Gordon's Attack of the Fish People. I swear that's not a bad thing.

No one other than H.P. Lovecraft fans should bother.

The setting is worth ogling when the women have their shirts on.
