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

* Rated: (not rated) (perhaps equivalent to a PG-13 for Violence, Profanity, and 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)

Not exactly a "Lovecraftian" film in the sense of being based on any of Lovecraft's work or containing references to his creations, though some viewers may find the location and atmosphere suggestive of Lovecraft's work (an "Eldritch Location" film). The remote location, weird rune-stone, creepy wolf-thing, and a blink-and-you-miss-it reference to astronomy would fit right into a Lovecraft story, but, over all, I found this aspect minimal, and doubt that the film-makers had much Lovecraft in mind when writing the story.

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

Review Links:
* HorrorNews dotnet, ([http://horrornews.net/93875/film-review-roseville-2013/ link]) - "...I could see a lot of Western influence in the film. There are elements of The Shining, The Blair Witch Project, maybe even just a touch of Poltergeist... Nothing is perfect, but this is pretty darn close. And if it is indeed the first film of its kind from Bulgaria, I look forward to seeing what follows...."

==Synopsis==

{{spoiler|
Allegedly based on a true crime, this film is the story of a young married couple honeymooning in a remote resort with an American "photographer", the reclusive resort keeper, and a young widow, and how they all end up mysteriously dead or missing after the keeper reveals a legend about an old oak tree known as "the White Old Man", and a thing that looks like a wolf but isn't appears shortly afterward.

+* Dave Wain at Scream Magazine ([http://www.screamhorrormag.com/roseville-film-review/ link] - "With its oak panelled walls, the residence where ''Roseville'' is set immediately creates the vibe of classic horror. ...and for the most part ''Roseville'' succeeds admirably."
