MPAA Ratings

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:
- Horror News dotnet, (link) - "The film itself looks nothing short of fantastic, the cinematography is both sleek and fluid almost gliding over surfaces of foreboding darkness to reveal only enough to the viewer to suggest something intense constantly lurking out the corners.... The Confines is not only one of the creepiest films I have seen in recent years it is also one of the best films I have seen in 2015."
