Ratings
MPAA Ratings
- Rated: R (Violence, Profanity, brief Nudity and Adult Content)
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)
Not particularly "Lovecraftian", though the genetically-engineered tentacle monsters might, at a stretch, be thought of as "Deep One hybrids".
Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.
