<br />

==Ratings==<br />
===[http://www.mpaa.org/film-ratings/ MPAA Ratings]===<br />
<!--E.G., "Rated: R (Violence, Nudity, Language....)" --><br />
* Rated: (not rated) (it would have been the equivalent of a TV-PG for mild Violence and very mild Adult Content)<br />
<br />
===Tentacle Ratings===<br />
A rough [[Tentacle Ratings|measure]] of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:<br />
* S____ (One Tentacle: Debateably Lovecraftian; has almost no direct connection to Lovecraft's work)<br />
<br />
I've not seen this film, but it looks like it basically tells the same story as ''[[The Thing (1982 film)]]'' and ''[[Alien (1979 film)]]'', but with a little less cosmic horror than on display in those better-known sci-fi/horror films.<br />
<br />
''Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.''<br />

<br />
===Comments, Trivia, Dedication===<br />
<!-- Optional; describe anything known or reported by experts about the origin of the story or inspiration for elements of it; list dedication, trivia, images, anything else of note --><br />
* The monster's design is sometimes attributed to [[H.R. Giger]], but this appears to be an exaggeration, related to an attempt to sell the film as an unofficial sequel to ''[[Alien (1979 film)|Alien]]'', a film Giger did design the monster for.<br />

===Associated Mythos Elements===<br />
* TO DO<br />
* compare to ''[[The Thing (1982 film)]]'' and ''[[Alien (1979 film)]]''<br />

===Keeper Notes===<br />
<!-- Optional. Notes to Keepers on using this for film for scenario ideas. Heresies and Controversies: this is also a good place to include non-canon and controversial aspects of the film's mythos. Suggested Alternative Theories include: Derleth's elemental scheme; pseudo-science interpretation; "fanon" interpretations; unofficial humorous or eccentric versions; identification with "Real Life" mythological, religious, folklore, natural, and historical phenomena; rumor and speculation contribute some flexibility and ambiguity to the mythos. * Alternative_theory.
