Ratings
MPAA Ratings
- Rated: no rating (equivalent to a light PG for mild Violence)
Tentacle Ratings
A rough measure of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
- SS___ (Two Tentacles: Barely Lovecraftian; vaguely similar in tone, could be a very loose adaptation)
Will probably come across to many viewers as being perhaps a bit short of a full-blown Lovecraft pastiche, due to the invasion of goopy Tentacle Monsters....
Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.

"JAWS meets ALIEN in the waters off Hong Kong!" Honourable old Wong has been a squid fisherman for nearly all of his life, but unfortunately, nowadays, he struggles to make ends meet. Soon, his fishing rod's bell will cheerfully ring, but does he really want to surface his prized catch? Probably not: Wong has caught the vanguard of an invasion of goopy Tentacle Monsters!
