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

* Rated: not rated (contains mild violence and profanity)

===Tentacle Ratings===

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

The film has an apocalyptic tone and "downer" ending, with monsters emerging from portals; the DARPA agent subplot vaguely suggests some [[Delta Green]] style "Lovecraftian" government paranoia possibilities.

''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:
* Review by Sean Evans at ([http://bttm.co.uk/the-rift/ Back to the Movies]) - "...Builds up great suspense and atmosphere... The storyline for me needed thickening out but the eye catching effects and suspense it made up for the lack of story within the film.... Robert Kouba has created a great little Sci Fi film and I look forward to what projects he’s working on in the near future...."

==Synopsis (SPOILERS)==

{{spoiler|For decades they have been watching us. Studying us. What are they? Nobody knows. Nobody but Ivan Petrenko Karkarov. The Russian physicist began studying a phenomenon which has been occurring for several decades. In 1982 he found an answer to the strange phenomenon but before he could tell anyone he mysteriously vanished. 30 years later, in a suburb of Los Angeles, Dean Hollister seems to be a normal guy until strange radar anomalies start to appear throughout the world. All of a sudden something starts to happen in the sky, black rifts appear. Something is moving behind those rifts. It's been watching us, and now it is here among us.}}
