==Ratings==
===[http://www.mpaa.org/film-ratings/ MPAA Ratings]===
<!--E.G., "Rated: R (Violence, Nudity, Language....)" -->
* Rated:  (not rated) (I would expect the equivalent of a PG-13 or R with Violence, Profanity, Adult Content, Nudity, and Sexual Situations)

===Tentacle Ratings===
A rough [[Tentacle Ratings|measure]] of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
* S____ (Two Tentacles: Barely Lovecraftian; could be a very loose adaptation)

I've not seen this, but the descriptions and trailers Name-drop a handful of Lovecraft creations, and the film supposedly involves paranormal investigators battling Lovecraftian monsters.  Considering the so-called "Lovecraft Cult" is described repeatedly as a "sex and death cult", it sounds likely that this is a generic horror film with a couple Lovecraft references tacked on as an afterthought.

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

Review Links:
* Baron Craze at Rogue Cinema ([http://www.roguecinema.org/arkham-sanitarium-soul-eater-2014-by-baron-craze.html link]) - "Overall, the production, had a refreshing course in the found footage nightmare genre, where storylines fade fast, so-called acting replaces talent, and questionable directing abounds, none of that exists here..."
* Mike Haberfelner at (re)Search my Trash ([http://www.searchmytrash.com/movies/arkhamsanitariumsouleater%282014%29.shtml link]) - One of those precious few found footage movies that have come out in recent years that actually adds something new to the genre: Very dark and very twisted humour... That's not to say that ''Arkham Sanitarium: Soul Eater'' isn't properly scary, at times fittingly grotesque in all the right places..."

<!-- Optional.  Notes to Keepers on using this for film for scenario ideas.  Heresies and Controversies:  this is also a good place to include non-canon and controversial aspects of the film's mythos.  Suggested Alternative Theories include:  Derleth's elemental scheme; pseudo-science interpretation; "fanon" interpretations; unofficial humorous or eccentric versions; identification with "Real Life" mythological, religious, folklore, natural, and historical phenomena; rumor and speculation contribute some flexibility and ambiguity to the mythos. * Alternative_theory.
