Ratings
MPAA Ratings
- Rated: R (strong Violence and gore)
Tentacle Ratings
A rough measure of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
- S____ (One Tentacle: Debateably Lovecraftian; has almost no direct connection to Lovecraft's work)
I've not seen this, but it sounds like it's probably not especially "Lovecraftian", though the basic idea (cultist serial killers, motivated by a strange religion, injecting victims with hallucinogenic fungi) does sound like a nice fit for a Delta Green scenario.
Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.
Reviews
Review Links:
- Manfred Selzer at Asian Movie Web, (link) - "...Thrilling and well-told, the movie is uncompromising and delivers some nice twists. This is everything you can ask for, if it's a serial-killer-thriller you are looking for with a good amount of supernatural elements thrown in. Unfortunately, the film is almost too ambitious for its own good at times, which leads to several elements that won't really fit into a perfect overall-picture...."
