==Ratings==
===[http://www.mpaa.org/film-ratings/ MPAA Ratings]===

* Rated: R (Violence, Profanity, Nudity)

===Tentacle Ratings===
A rough [[Tentacle Ratings|measure]] of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
* SS___ (Two Tentacles: Barely Lovecraftian; could be a very loose adaptation)

Not very "Lovecraftian", but there is a freakish god-monster-thing, a secret cult of nuns imprisoning it, a decrepit fishing village full of degenerate villagers, some sort of tome, a magic amulet or seal, and other elements that might be right at home in a Lovecraft story or pastiche, and the film does successfully ooze menace and atmosphere.

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

It is no more than an amateurish production..."
