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)
I've not seen this film, suggested to me as "Lovecraftian", and it's hard to say what (if any) connection the film has to Lovecraft based on the trailers and descriptions I've seen, aside from some tentacly-looking monsters and dream-like imagery.
Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.
