Saw Candyman 3 as well but only because it was on Sci-Fi & they have been doing a movie marathon. Candyman movies, Pumkinhead movies, Dagon, Prince of Darkness etc...

Cellular.
It was ok...I like watching movies where people have to do insane things. Not great, but not bad at all, I liked it.
Maybe 6.5/10?

I havnt read Shadow Over Insmouth, but I have read Dagon. True, very few similarites there....I still think its a great movie. To each there own, opinions are like asshole, ect.:D

.....Dagon has only 3 pages, its about a man that arrives an island where there lies a monolith with some draws of deep ones with their god Dagon...he then is attack by Dagon. Was one of the first tales of Lovercraft ( he wrotte it when he was a tennager) In what looks like Dagon (the movie)?
Please, Return you looks like you've got a good taste for horror films.....forget that stupid movie

Aside from 3 things, I cant find anything wrong with the movie.

a) HORRIBLE Cgi
b) Fairly bad acting from [very few] involved
c) Almost nothing like the original story


Aside from those, it had all the fixings of a great movie. The atmosphere was fittingly eerie, at least 2 of the actors were great [Dont know their real names, but the lead guy and the crazy drunk impressed me], it had a bit of humour, but not enough to ruin it [I gotta get a bigger phone:D], the ending/opening were great in the Lovecraftian vein, and the gore, although not plentiful, was great [the face skinning made ME cringe].....But like I said, you're entitled to your opinion, as am I.

Copy, no need more to said.The name of the drunk man was Paco Rabal.....and this was his last movie, he died after the filmation.

The Nightmare Before Christmas
Pumpkinhead
