-->Seriously, there are three female characters in Dagon, one being inexplicably naked and trying to have sex with the narrator; another, the main character’s girlfriend who is tied to an altar—naked—and stabbed a bunch; and the third, a friend who kills herself after she is raped. Maybe I’m a broken record, but after a while the lack of female characters who don’t have to pick two from the “naked, killed, or raped” bag becomes egregious to a point that even an inattentive viewer should start getting upset. Also, Gordon’s love for violently brutalizing naked women says a lot about how he thinks of them as human beings. That is to say, of course, that he doesn’t.

** Paul finding out that he's half Deep One and attempting to immolate himself in response is a powerful moment. Unfortunately, it is immediately undermined by Uxia throwing off her robe, turning into a hilariously bad CGI model, and sort of ... pinwheeling her way over to Paul to yank him into the water.

* UnfortunateImplications: As [[http://roosterillusionreviews.com/2014/01/07/the-tuesday-zone-eldritch-adaptations-part-11-or-dagon-stuart-gordons-most-recent-failure/ this review]] notes,
-->Seriously, there are three female characters in Dagon, one being inexplicably naked and trying to have sex with the narrator; another, the main character’s girlfriend who is tied to an alter—naked—and stabbed a bunch; and the third, a friend who kills herself after she is raped. Maybe I’m a broken record, but after a while the lack of female characters who don’t have to pick two from the “naked, killed, or raped” bag becomes egregious to a point that even an inattentive viewer should start getting upset. Also, Gordon’s love for violently brutalizing naked women says a lot about how he thinks of them as human beings. That is to say, of course, that he doesn’t.
