Ratings
MPAA Ratings
- Rated: PG (Violence, mild Adult Content and Profanity)
Tentacle Ratings
A rough measure of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
- Ss___ (One and a Half Tentacles: Barely Lovecraftian; vaguely similar in tone)
Not very Lovecraftian in tone, but there are a lost continent, alien astronauts, and a tentacle monster in the movie....
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:
- Parlor of Horror, (link) - "The film is worth a watch for fans of old style monster flicks and fantasy adventure for its pure schlock and unintended humorous aspects."
