Ratings
MPAA Ratings
- Rated: PG-13 (Violence, Profanity, Adult Content)
Tentacle Ratings
A rough measure of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
- SS___ (Two Tentacles: Barely Lovecraftian; could be a very loose adaptation)
The daughter is apparently dragged under a giant hill by an ghastly alien race, and returns changed in some horrific way....
Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.
