MPAA Ratings
- Rated: (not rated) (perhaps equivalent of a modern PG for mild Violence 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)
Amazingly, I've never seen or heard of this film before (I didn't think there were too many horror films from this era that I'd never even heard of), but from the description, the only things about this film that might be considered "Lovecraftian" are the tentacle-monster and snowy setting.
Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.
