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

* Rated: PG-13 (Violence, 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)

Very little about this film is directly "Lovecraftian"; however, Lovecraft did dabble in "possession" horror fiction more than once, and the essential story (a woman is studied by a secret government program for study after a mysterious change in personality accompanied by exhibition of astonishing supernatural powers) would be easy to adapt to a Call of Cthulhu or Delta Green scenario (in a Lovecraft story, this would essentially be signs of a personality exchange with an alien intelligence or a "wizard").

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

===Reviews===

Review Links:
* Scott Dorward at Blasphemous Tomes ([http://blasphemoustomes.com/2015/03/30/film-review-the-atticus-institute/ link]) - "...The scientific approach its characters take the subject of demonic possession... is more [[Nigel Kneale]] than [''The Exorcist'''s] William Peter Blatty...."

==Notes==

===Comments, Trivia, Dedication===


===Associated Mythos Elements===
* Lovecraft dabbles in "demonic possession" fiction in at least four of his stories:
** fiction: "[[The Case of Charles Dexter Ward (fiction)]]"
** fiction: "[[The Thing on the Doorstep (fiction)]]"
** fiction: "[[The Shadow Out of Time (fiction)]]"
** fiction: "[[Beyond the Wall of Sleep (fiction)]]"

===Keeper Notes===

* Lovecraft dabbled in "possession" horror fiction more than once (in a Lovecraft story, what the scientist and military characters observe in this film would essentially be signs of a personality exchange with a cultist "wizard" or any of Lovecraft's bewildering varieties of strange alien intelligence), and the essential story (a woman is studied by an unscrupulous secret government program for study after a mysterious change in personality accompanied by exhibition of astonishing supernatural powers) would be easy to adapt to a Call of Cthulhu or Delta Green scenario.
