MPAA Ratings
- Rated: R (Violence, Profanity, Adult Content, Nudity, Sexual Situations)
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)
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 atmosphere suggestive of Lovecraft's work (an "Eldritch Location" film).
Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.
Reviews
Review Links:
- S.R. Jones at Martian Migraine Press, (link) - "...Lovecraftian to the core... It should be noted that Beyond the Black Rainbow is a glacially paced film.... Thankfully, it is so well-crafted visually, and the skillful intensity of the actors... makes it a psychedelic slow burn that’s quite enjoyable... a film that leaves a lot open to interpretation, and provides no easy answers, which as far as I’m concerned is another black feather in it’s Lovecraft cap...."
