* Rated: R (Profanity, Nudity, Adult Content, Sexual Situations, Violence)

===Tentacle Ratings===
A rough [[Tentacle Ratings|measure]] of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
* ????? (Needs a review! I've never seen this; it seems to be one or more Tentacles, as a loose adaptation of "The Shadow Over Innsmouth"?)

''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:
* Horrornews.net, ([http://horrornews.net/24998/film-review-cthulhu-2007/ link]) - "Cthulhu never really becomes much more than an effort without backbone. My recommendation is to pass on this one except if you are a Lovecraft fan who can ride along with your background know-how of the story to tie in all the loose ends."
* S.T. Joshi: "Fabulous! The essence of Lovecraft... maybe the best Lovecraft adaptation to date...."
