02
The Lighthouse
Why this pick
A claustrophobic descent into maritime dread, driven by isolation, folklore, hallucinatory imagery, and a hostile relationship with the sea.
03
Cold Skin
Why this pick
This bleak island siege shares Dagon’s sea-born monstrosity, decaying outpost atmosphere, and escalating sense that the ocean conceals an alien civilization.
04
The Ritual
Why this pick
Though set in the woods rather than on the coast, it delivers a similarly oppressive encounter with ancient folklore, an isolated community, and a creature beyond ordinary understanding.
05
The Void
Why this pick
Its practical-monster carnage and cult-inflected cosmic horror echo Dagon’s pulpy, tactile commitment to people trapped amid inhuman forces.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Stock market tycoon Paul Marsh has a dream that he discovers a mermaid with razor-sharp teeth while scuba diving into a carven pit. Paul awakes on a boat off the shores of Spain, where he is vacationing with his girlfriend, Barbara, and their friends Vicki and Howard. A sudden storm blows their boat against some hidden rocks. Vicki is trapped below deck and Howard stays with her while Paul and Barbara take a lifeboat to the nearby fishing village of Imboca. During their absence, an unseen creature from the deep attacks the two in the boat.
