Ratings

MPAA Ratings

• Rated: R (Violence, Profanity, Adult Content)

Tentacle Ratings

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

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

In addition to a plot that seems to have been inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Weird story "The Horror of the Heights", and some Tentacle Monsters, some viewers might find the dream-logic the film apparently runs on to be vaguely "Lovecraftian".

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