Nightbreed
The other movie I watched on DVD this weekend. I actually caught this when it first came out years ago. It's based on the book by Clive Barker, called Cabal. In fact, I think Clive Barker actually made the movie. It's not bad -- but, if it was being made today, it would be made differently.

It's got a few bloody bits (Clive Barker -- what did you expect?), and is scary, but a lot less scary and bloody than Dagon.
