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

* Rated: not rated (Violence, Profanity, Adult Content)

===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)

Aside from the Ghoul itself, which draws from the original mythology rather than Lovecraft's, there's not much Lovecraftian going on, though the movie would likely provide a suitable basis for a "Delta Green" style scenario.

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