| |
| − | <!--E.G., "Rated: R (Violence, Nudity, Language....)" -->
| |
| − | * Rated: (unrated) (rates at least an "R" for extremely gross gore and graphic violence)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Tentacle Ratings===
| |
| − | A rough [[Tentacle Ratings|measure]] of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
| |
| − | * S____ (One Tentacle: Debateably Lovecraftian; has almost no direct connection to Lovecraft's work)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Supposedly a VERY loose adaptation of ''[[The Dunwich Horror (fiction)]]'', it would be difficult at best to detect this ancestry in the final film. [[Dunwich]] does appear in the film, and there is horror, and a priest who opens the gates to hell, but that seems to be the limit of any resemblance.

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

Heresies and Controversies: this is also a good place to include non-canon and controversial aspects of the film's mythos. Suggested Alternative Theories include: Derleth's elemental scheme; pseudo-science interpretation; "fanon" interpretations; unofficial humorous or eccentric versions; identification with "Real Life" mythological, religious, folklore, natural, and historical phenomena; rumor and speculation contribute some flexibility and ambiguity to the mythos. * Alternative_theory.
