Tentacle Ratings
A rough measure of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
- s____ (One Half Tentacle: Name-dropping Only)
The film is "Lovecraftian" only in that it affectionately name-drops some of Lovecraft's creations as "shout-outs".
Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.
