Ratings
MPAA Ratings
- Rated: (not rated) (perhaps equivalent of PG-13 or R for Violence, Profanity, 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)
I've not seen the film series, but it seems to involve a haunted insane asylum full of reality-altering spirits conjured as a result of a "satanic" cultist's shenanigans.
Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.
