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.
