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

* Rated: R (Violence, Profanity)

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

A dead mythical "god" - part fungus, part insect, part reptile - is accidentally resurrected by scientists, and goes on a brain-eating rampage in a creepy museum at night. Probably not a bad fit for a [[Delta Green]] scenario.

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

 <!-- Short, Spoiler-Free Summary; tag-line or elevator pitch. -->
-A homicide detective helps a biologist hunt a giant creature that is killing people in a Chicago museum.
+"There are secrets better left unknown, and treasures better left undiscovered. In 1995, a scientific expedition found something that turns myths into nightmares...something that gives shape to fear, and form to evil...something as powerful as it is deadly. They should never have sought it. They should never have touched it. And then, they did the unthinkable...THEY BROUGHT IT BACK."
