the story line was amazing. i've always been a big poe fan and was expecting the actual story of the raven so the title did disappoint me but the speculations of his last days was very much on target and kept my attention until the end.
i am a fan of old time victorian mystery movies, so this was a great movie for me. john cusack was excellent as edgar alan poe, he was really believable in becoming that character
a thrilling murder mystery
john cusack acting was as dark and troublesome - as poe would have been. true to poe's greatest fear, being buried alive; cusack exact it with character.
i really enjoyed this movie, despite the poor reviews it received.
an entertaining thriller
i enjoyed watching john cusack in this murder mystery.
poe's most famous work gets a stylish adaptation from director james mcteigue. starring reliable john cusack as poe himself, falsely accused of a series of grisly murders based on poe's own works, mcteigue skilfully recreates victorian england as a backdrop for poe's efforts to prove his innocence, and free his beloved, played by the lovely alice eve, from the clutches of the killer.
an entertaining thriller
totally awesome! a few gruesome scenes, accurate historically.
