Ratings

MPAA Ratings

• Rated: (not rated) (I would expect the equivalent of a PG-13 due to Violence, Profanity, Adult Content, and perhaps some Nudity and Sexual Situations)

Tentacle Ratings

A rough measure of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:

• SS___ (Two Tentacles: Barely Lovecraftian; could be a very loose adaptation)

I've not seen this, but it sounds like many common Lovecraft "tropes" are in play here: an eccentric old man, his creepy cabin in the woods, his relatives left to make shocking discoveries, a secret locked in the basement, a creepy book, etc.

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