Ratings
MPAA Ratings
- Rated: (not rated) (probably equivalent to PG-13 for Violence, brief Nudity, and possibly Profanity and Adult Content)
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)
Apparently the only thing "Lovecraftian" about this film is the way it runs on nightmare logic; it shares a surreal dream-logic aspect in common with films categorized by "Eldritch Location", though it's more literally and explicitly a state of mind than a location in this particular film than usual for that type of film. With a little stretching, the dream-monster could be interpreted as a Nightgaunt.
Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.
