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

* Rated: R (Brief Nudity, Violence, Adult Content)

===Tentacle Ratings===
A rough [[Tentacle Ratings|measure]] of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
* S____ (One Tentacle: Debateably Lovecraftian; has almost no direct connection to Lovecraft's work)

There is little here overtly "Lovecraftian", but what looks at first like a routine shaky-cam found-footage mockumentary turned demonic-possession film evolves into a little supernatural mystery full of little clues from diverse sources that the audience and the characters can assemble as the film progresses, involving human sacrifice to a bizarre god.

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

Review Links:
* [[Brian M. Sammons]] at Innsmouth Free Press, ([http://www.innsmouthfreepress.com/blog/cthulhu-eats-the-world-the-taking-of-deborah-logan-2014/ link]) - "Truth be told, there aren’t a lot of Cthulhu Mythos or Lovecraftian connections to this movie. Sure, some people see HPL’s influence everywhere, and there may be some here around the edges, but nothing more than that. And yet, this movie, more than any other in recent memory, reminded me of a good game of ''Call of Cthulhu''...."
