===[http://www.mpaa.org/film-ratings/ MPAA Ratings]===<br />
<!--E.G., "Rated: R (Violence, Nudity, Language....)" --><br />
* Rated: R (for mild Violence and Adult Content, and brief Nudity)<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 />
An ancient Native American sorcerer reincarnates through a tumor on a woman's back. Apparently opens with an H.P. Lovecraft quote (apparently from the small amount of Lovecraft's actual contribution to the Derleth/Lovecraft "collaboration" "[[Lurker at the Threshold (fiction)]]", and a portal to the "Great Old Ones" is opened by characters in the film.<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 />

* Jared at Head Injury Theater, ([http://www.headinjurytheater.com/article86.htm link]) - "Suffice to say, words fail me... I still can't get over the actual plot of this movie. I've seen it 3 times and while it's a slow moving piece drama-horror from the 1970's... it still blows my mind."<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.
