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

* Rated: R (Violence, Profantiy, Adult Content, brief Nudity)

===Tentacle Ratings===
A rough [[Tentacle Ratings|measure]] of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
* Ss___ (Two Tentacles: Barely Lovecraftian)

Besides the evil cult name-dropping [[Shub-Niggurath]], Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young, the film has a weird, surreal quality that might strike some viewers as vaguely Lovecraftian.

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

==Notes==

===Comments, Trivia, Dedication===

* Though occasionally linked to the "Demons" series of Italian horror films as a marketing ploy, this film apparently has nothing directly to do with that series, beyond also having supernatural themes and beyond occasionally being retitled ''Demons 4''.

===Associated Mythos Elements===
* TO DO
* deity: [[Shub-Niggurath]] is name-dropped at one point
* race: [[Human Cultist]]s
* race: "Earwigs" - insects that supposedly burrow into a victim's head, law eggs inside, and drive the victim mad before eating his/her brain
* film: compare to other contemporary works [[by Dario Argento]], like ''[[The Three Mothers trilogy (1977 franchise)]]''....
* location: "Gate to Hell" in the form of a hidden room containing a surreal occult chapel with a well full of blue water in the middle
