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

* Rated: (none) (perhaps a "G" or a "PG" for mild off-screen violence)

===Tentacle Ratings===
A rough [[Tentacle Ratings|measure]] of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
* SS___ (Two Tentacles: Barely Lovecraftian; could be a very loose adaptation)

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

* BrainEater dotcom, ([http://www.braineater.com/ce.html link]) - "In spite of the movie's many idiocies, I still find that a lot of it succeeds, if only because of its poker-faced seriousness...."
