Ratings
MPAA Ratings
- Rated: (not rated) (perhaps equivalent of a modern G or PG)
Tentacle Ratings
A rough measure of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
- SS___ (Two Tentacles: Barely Lovecraftian; could be a very loose adaptation)
Though not based on a Lovecraft story, this gothic horror film does play on one of Lovecraft's favorite themes of horror lurking in one's genetics.
Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.
