Ratings
MPAA Ratings
- Rated: R (Violence, Profanity)
Tentacle Ratings
A rough measure of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
- SS___ (Two Tentacles: Barely Lovecraftian; could be a very loose adaptation)
A dead mythical "god" - part fungus, part insect, part reptile - is accidentally resurrected by scientists, and goes on a brain-eating rampage in a creepy museum at night. Probably not a bad fit for a Delta Green scenario.
Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.
