Ratings
MPAA Ratings
- Rated: PG-13 (Violence, mild Adult Content and Profanity)
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 very "Lovecraftian", though the malevolent Native American spirits invading this world from some monstrous void might lend themselves to the sort of Lovecraftian adaptation seen with Wendigo, and the doom of the cliff-dwelling tribe at those spirits' hands similarly suggests some possibilities for adaptation.
Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.
