Ratings
MPAA Ratings
- Rated: R (Violence, Profanity, Adult Content, Sexual Situations)
Tentacle Ratings
A rough measure of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
- S____ (One Tentacle: Debateably Lovecraftian; has almost no direct connection to Lovecraft's work)
Not exactly a "Lovecraftian" film in the sense of being based on any of Lovecraft's work or containing references to his creations, though some viewers may find the location and atmosphere suggestive of Lovecraft's work (an "Eldritch Location" film).
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, (link) - " Instead, our main character finds himself in some sort of [spoiler], confused out of his mind. And then bang, roll credits. WTF? And it’s a shame, because with a good ending this could have been a minor gem...."
- Matthew Pridham at Weird Fiction Review, (link) - "When this movie refuses to explain itself, it does so for reasons which are perfectly consistent with its theme. Had it ended with a tidy explanation, or even a slightly more detailed one, it would have been betraying itself on a fundamental level...."
