Ratings
MPAA Ratings
- Rated: (not rated) (perhaps equivalent to R for Violence, Profanity, Adult Content, Nudity, and violent Sexual 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)
Arguably, the cave paintings are equivalent to a tome, and the various leech/slug/thing monsters are "cthulhoid monsters", though I'm not sure the comparison holds up very much past that "Debateably Lovecraftian" point.
Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.
