7/10
Probably should have read the book first.

Jonathan Davis' father turned strange and has run off to Germany. His son follows looking for him. There the son encounters some odd people that tell him a story of a strange meteorite encounter and how his father is a part of the story. The smart kid does not swallow that gobbledygook; do we?

Never mind the cheap CGI it the story that is of interest. Most of the dialog is in German. Take heart there are subtitles. The version I watched that was a download cut the second line of the subtitles off. Luckily for me, they only spoke slowly enough first-year German so subtitles were not necessary. The film was mostly black and white with some pink blobs that I assume were the color in the title.

Looks like I will have to get the DVD just to see if the extras will add to the experience. Knowing the history of the story and the various adaptations may have added a little more continuity to the film as this film is also an adaptation.

I am a fan of Lovecraft in general and even have a couple of movies ("The Dunwich Horror" and "The Call of Cthulhu".) I found I did not like "Dagon" and ambivalent about this critter. Named out cat Cat-thulhu.
