Ratings

MPAA Ratings

• Rated: R (Violence, 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)

Essentially a "zombie movie" style variation on Village of the Damned (1960 film), in which the world's children fall comatose for several years, then awaken, apparently possessed by alien/demonic intelligences from another world.

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