Ratings

MPAA Ratings

• Rated: TV-MA (Sexual Content, Nudity, Violence, Profanity)

As an "adult" film, this is probably not suitable for "family" audiences.

Tentacle Ratings

A rough measure of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:

• s____ (One-Half Tentacle: Lovecraftian only in a handful of in-jokes name-dropping Lovecraft's fictional towns)

Beyond a little Lovecraftian name-dropping, there appears to be little "Lovecraftian" about this witchcraft/voodoo thriller with adult movie and comedy elements. Lovecraft movie fans may find this a distasteful waste of time.

Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.

Synopsis (SPOILERS)

 Spoiler Section (Highlight to Read)

At the Collinsport School for Girls, Miss Anton catches Christina sleeping with her classmate Meg. As a result, Christina is sent to the Dunwich School for Girls to share a room with a student named Maria. Together they make friends with two more students, Jilly and Sandra. Maria's family, together with Christina's teachers (Miss Anton, Miss Santana, and Miss Dambahla), is in a voodoo cult which creates a voodoo doll for each of the girls in order to torture them, nearly sending Jilly over a cliff to her death by means of Maria's voodoo magic, and Christina is later caught and tied to a cross by the voodoo cult for the purpose of burning Christina at the stake. At that moment an unlikely hero notices what's going on and comes to Christina's rescue, setting the entire temple on fire, killing off the four evil women.
