Film director Stuart Gordon is best known for the Re-Animator, and From Beyond, other horror movies that have some nice scenes in them. But he also directed Dagon.
Based in part on the works of H.P. Lovecraft, Dagon deals with a cult in a small Spanish coastal town that worships Dagon, an evil deity.
Actress Raquel Merono plays a character who gets caught by the cult, and who is made the focus of a dark ritual.
At first she's chained down to an altar, where the evil leader of the cult makes tiny, bloody cuts on her naked body.
Once that's done, she gets strung up to a metal bar and is dangled over a pit, her naked body still chained up.
She's dropped into the murky water below in order to be "fed" to the Lovecraftian horror that dwells down there.
But that's when the Lovecraftian horror decides that it wants to join the party. There's not a happy ending here, folks. Unless you're a fan of Cosmic Horror, then party on! And Happy Halloween!
