===Tentacle Ratings===
A rough [[Tentacle Ratings|measure]] of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
* S____ (One Tentacle:  Debateably Lovecraftian; has almost no direct connection to Lovecraft's work)

Not much "Lovecraftian" going on here, it seems, beyond some [[Tentacle Monster]]s....

''Note:  This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.''

Review Links:
* The Black Saint at Horror News dotnet, ([http://horrornews.net/53555/film-review-the-kindred-1987/ link]) - "...Trust me when I say 'You’ve seen this all before'. The difference here is that ''The Kindred'' is actually pretty good, in an extremely stupid way... it is a fairly straightforward exercise in sci-fi/horror... where the film really shines is in the special effects department... a fair little movie that has been sadly underseen...."

===Keeper Notes===
<!-- Optional.  Notes to Keepers on using this for film for scenario ideas.  Heresies and Controversies:  this is also a good place to include non-canon and controversial aspects of the film's mythos.  Suggested Alternative Theories include:  Derleth's elemental scheme; pseudo-science interpretation; "fanon" interpretations; unofficial humorous or eccentric versions; identification with "Real Life" mythological, religious, folklore, natural, and historical phenomena; rumor and speculation contribute some flexibility and ambiguity to the mythos. * Alternative_theory.
