Article name

Shouldn't this article be called Dagon (film)? Is there another movie called Dagon? Nareek 11:50, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Moved it. - LeonWhite 22:59, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

References

These seems like weak links. It seems more likely to me that the similarity of Resident Evil 4's plotline to Dagon's is simply coincidence. It's similarly unlikely for the RE remake, especally since it came out only a few months after the movie. Unless someone can provide evidence that these games were actually referencing Dagon (the movie) specifically, I'd like to remove this section shortly.

Dagon

This piece of information in the article seems suspect:

The god Dagon was simply mentioned, while in the movie it actually appears, even though it resembles the Lovecraftian god Cthulhu more than the fish-like humanoid depicted in the short story "Dagon".

If you actually read Lovecraft's short story you will find that 'the vast Polyphemus like', aquatic Dagon DOES appear and that it is NOT a 'fish-like humanoid'.

As far as I remember, Dagon doesn't appear in "The Shadow Over Innsmouth", which is the original source of the movie as it is also specified at the beginning of the article.

I have to agree with the original poster here. This should be changed. I believe whoever whore this has mistaken the transformed "Priest of Dagon" (the guy who came and brought Dagon Worship to the villagers, who later appears as having some wierd furry head looking thing. Dagon is the thing they sacrifice the protagonist's wife/girlfriend to by lowering her into the water and allowing her to be impregnated (and eventually taken away) by what appears to be a giant squid. I am positive this is Dagon because they point out that she will "bear his child" who will live for eternity. For this reason I am changing the text accordingly. --66.253.36.46 (talk) 06:14, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
