Ratings
MPAA Ratings
- Rated: (unrated) (perhaps equivalent to R, for Violence, Adult Content, Nudity, Profanity)
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 perhaps 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) - "It's somewhat of a difficult movie to get a handle on already... it will be even doubly so if you are watching it without your full attention and missing even a line or two of crucial dialogue.... This truly is the rare film that I like more for technical reasons than creative ones...."
