Ratings
MPAA Ratings
- Rated: (not rated) (I would expect the equivalent of PG-13 for mild 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 film apparently calls back to Lovecraft's "The Rats in the Walls (fiction)" and other stories, and suggests Night Gaunts with its bat-winged creatures, as well as referring to Algernon Blackwood with the name of the apartments....
Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.
