Ratings
MPAA Ratings
- Rated: R (strong Sexual Situations and Nudity, Violence and Profanity; an unrated version exists, presumably with even stronger sexual content)
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)
I've not seen this, but a glance at the film trailer reveals what looks like a standard-issue low-budget women-in-prison exploitation film, with tentacles.
Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.
