Ratings
MPAA Ratings
- Rated: (not rated) (equivalent to an R for Violence, brief Nudity, mild Adult Content, 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)
Is it all in the viewpoint-character's head, is something supernatural happening, or is it all symbolic? Another of those not-very-Lovecraftian experimental/art/surrealist films where a couple characters are in a weird location where weird, creepy, hallucinatory things happen for reasons that are never really explicitly resolved by the film-makers: 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.
