MPAA Ratings
- Rated: R (Violence, Profanity, Adult Content)
Tentacle Ratings
A rough measure of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
- Ss___ (One and a half Tentacles: Barely Lovecraftian)
I've not seen this one yet, but aside from a suspicious resemblence to The Evil Dead, the zombie, some eldritch sorcery, and an ancient god called "Yog Kothag", there's apparently not much 'Lovecraftian' about this movie.
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:
- Drew Beard at Horror News dotnet, (link) - "Enjoyably awful mid-80s low-budget horror product... will make fine fodder the wisecracking and appropriately addled. It has what I call 'that certain batshit charm' and I do recommend it for the cheese-and-heckling appeal alone. Somehow, it works despite its surface faults...."
- Doug Tilley at DailyGrindhouse dotorg, (link) - "..it’s actually pretty fun (though tragically overlong) supernatural horror film with enough memorably gruesome moments to keep a patient viewer watching...."
