Ratings
MPAA Ratings
- Rated: (not rated) (probably equivalent to a G or PG with some mild adult themes handled in a documentary manner)
Tentacle Ratings
A rough measure of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
- SSS__ (Three Tentacles: Lovecraftian, was probably written by Lovecraft himself.)
Not really "Lovecraftian" in the sense that a fictional horror movie might be, but still of documentary interest to Lovecraft fans.
Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.

In typical documentary fashion, noted writers, film-makers, biographers, and historians are interviewed about Lovecraft; the documentary also seems to include some reenactments of scenes from Lovecraft's life.
