Ratings
MPAA Ratings
- Rated: (not rated) (perhaps equivalent to a PG or a PG-13 for Violence and Profanity?)
Tentacle Ratings
A rough measure of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
- SS___ (Two Tentacles: Barely Lovecraftian; could be a very loose adaptation)
Not exactly a "Lovecraftian" film in the sense of being based on any of Lovecraft's work or containing references to his creations, though some viewers may find the location and feverish, surreal atmosphere suggestive of Lovecraft's work (an "Eldritch Location" film). Mysterious broadcasts, a gloomy ending, and a freakish and surreal tentacle-monster at the bottom of an inexplicable well might also suggest some Lovecraftian elements.
Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.
