What is Dagon about?

A boating accident off the coast of Spain sends Paul and his girlfriend Barbara to the decrepit fishing village of Imboca. As night falls, people start to disappear and things not quite human start to appear. Paul is pursued by the entire town. Running for his life, he uncovers Imboca's secret..they worship Dagon, a monstrous god of the sea...and Dagon's unholy offspring are on the loose...

Dagon is a 2001 Spanish Lovecraftian horror film directed by Stuart Gordon and written by Dennis Paoli, based on the 1919 short story of the same name and the 1936 novella The Shadow Over Innsmouth, both by author H. P. Lovecraft. Despite Gordon, Paoli and Lovecraft all being American, it is a fully Spanish production mixing English, Galician and Spanish languages, starring Ezra Godden, Francisco Rabal and Raquel Meroño.
