* Rated: PG-13 (Violence, Profanity, Adult Content, Nudity, Sexual Situations)

===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, but there is a Tentacle Monster....

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

''Octopus'' emerges as only a B-budget CGI monster movie. Moreover, the giant title creature forms a relatively minor threat compared to the main action. ...  The film’s ludicrous improbabilities are surely first observed early on when the hero rendezvouses with the submarine for his transatlantic voyage where the submarine is clearly seen surfacing inside a lake!!!"
