Ratings

MPAA Ratings

• Rated: R (Violence, Adult 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)

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 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:

• rebeccavb at VirtualBorderland, (link) - "If you like the sound of a film which is like a cross between Lovecraft’s At the Mountains of Madness (fiction) and an episode of the The X-Files (1993 series), this is probably for you."
