Ratings
MPAA Ratings
- Rated: (not rated) (expect the equivalent of an R for Violence, Profanity, Adult Content, etc.)
Tentacle Ratings
A rough measure of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
- SSs__ (Two and a Half Tentacles: Barely Lovecraftian; very loose adaptation)
Two tentacles for the Herbert West segment; the rest of the segments seem to have no relationship to Lovecraft's work at all.
Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.
