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

* Rated: R (Violence, Profanity Adult Content, full frontal Nudity, Sexual Situations)

===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)

How "Lovecraftian" you find this film might depend on how much "Lovecraftian" mileage you get from dark fantasy/fairy tales about character development for people-eating, shape-shifting aliens, as interpreted by surreal, avant-garde art film makers.

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