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)
Similar to Event Horizon (1997 film) and Alien (1979 franchise), this is a sort of Gothic haunted-house-in-space story; in this case, the main plot is said to be suspiciously similar to Clark Ashton Smith's short story "Phoenix".
Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.

Synopsis
Spoiler Section (Highlight to Read)
In the not-too-distant future, Earth's dying sun spells the end for humanity. In a last-ditch effort to save the planet, a crew of eight men and women ventures into space with a device that could revive the star. However, an accident, a grave mistake and a distress beacon from a long-lost spaceship throw the crew and its desperate mission into a tailspin.
