Ratings
MPAA Ratings
- Rated: (not rated) (probably R for Violence and Profanity?)
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 exactly a "Lovecraftian" film in the sense of being based on any of Lovecraft's work or containing references to his creations, though some viewers may find the location and atmosphere suggestive of Lovecraft's work (an "Eldritch Location" film). I guess there may be a Delta Green component to this one, though....
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:
- Ross Peterson at Horror News dotnet, (link) - "...For the most part, a chore to sit through. It’s slow, overlong, totally unbelievable, and ridiculous. Unbelievable and ridiculous would be fine … if its whole point wasn’t to be taken as credible. Avoid this one, unless you love found footage movies, UFO conspiracies, and the unexplained...."
