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

* Rated: R (Violence, Profanity, Adult Content, graphic Nudity)

===Tentacle Ratings===
A rough [[Tentacle Ratings|measure]] of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
* Ss___ (One and a Half Tentacles: Barely Lovecraftian)

Not very "Lovecraftian", aside from being written by [[Ramsey Campbell]] (who has sometimes written "Lovecraftian" fiction, though apparently not in this case), featuring a (Satanic?) cult, and having a grim ending.

''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:
* Horror-Movie-a-Day, ([http://horror-movie-a-day.blogspot.com/2010/08/nameless.html link]) - "Despite all its story/pacing issues, [director] Balagueró makes it all watchable... like I've said before... the ending of the film is what forms your final impression of it, and ultimately the ending didn't make the rest of the film worth the wait...."

==Synopsis==

{{spoiler|
Claudia and Marc are horrified and heartbroken when their young daughter's body is found mutilated. Several years later, Claudia gets a call from a young woman who could be her child. Claudia then launches an investigation involving a detective, Massera, and a reporter, Quiroga. Their target -- a satanic cult, which may be holding and torturing the girl, and whose members could subject all involved in the case to dire fates.
