Wikipedia says: Dagon is a 2001 horror movie directed by Stuart Gordon and written by Dennis Paoli. Despite the title, the plot is actually based on H. P. Lovecraft's novella The Shadow Over Innsmouth (1932) rather than his earlier short story titled "Dagon" (1919).
Clip from the film "Dagon" released on October 31, 2001 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0264508/
COMMENT:
The ancient blood-drinking and flesh-eating fish-god Dagon takes over and his human agents smash the Christian icons and subjugate everyone to Dagon worship.
This is a good adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos, made in the style of a classic 1960s horror movie for the drive-in theaters that were so common back then.
The film is also a fitting commentary on the re-emergence, in our times, of the ancient nihilistic anti-reason, atavistic (less than human) cult against which our ancestors have struggled from as far back as we can see in recorded history. The oldest being the Zoroastrian and Vedic literature, followed very closely by the Hebraic literature.
This vast body of literature deals mainly with the struggle against the regularly-recurring forces within human society that seek to impose harsh and rigid control over others.
One major agent of this atavistic force comes, oddly, from the institutionalized multicultural post-modern feminist dogma, with its subversion of logic and privileging of emotion and subjectivity coupled with a pathological disdain for any view other than its own. Add to this a presumption of the truth of their premises.
Another, (curiously) historically related, agent of atavistic force comes from the 1,428-year political cult presenting itself as the Creator-mandated jihadic "religion" that, from the moment it had enough money to do so, has been spreading murder and mayhem everywhere it can, allowing no other view to exist as an equal unless it is for the purpose of continuing their larger enterprise, to wit global domination and total subjugation of the human population to their system of government and rules of human relations.
This intolerance is just like the belief system described in the Cthulhu Mythos, and in the movie Dagon.
In crafting his Cthulhu Mythos, it is said that Lovecraft studied "heretical" Islamic materials and incorporated them into his work.
But he also, apparently, created new, never-before-existing ancient texts such as the Necronomicon http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necronomicon
The Cthulhu Mythos http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cthulhu_Mythos
An amazing number of people today believe the Necronomicon to be genuinely ancient. But they are no more off base than those who believe that 1,428 years ago all the previous 2,000 years of Abrahamic (Hebrew) history was nullified.
After all, if you once accept that "nothing is true" then it only follows that "everything is permissible" and you are caught in a Chinese finger-trap that leaves you helpless and easy prey for the hucksters in the Carnivale of life.
The once formidable Western Academic system has been toppled from within by the institutional . Fnord.
