The Worst Film Ever
the audience applauded
Best movie ever!
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
This is one of the scariest movies ever. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It is a very good horror movie. It is better then A Nightmare on elm street. It is better then Friday the 13th part V a new beginning . It also a lot better then Halloween resurrection. It is a very scary movie.
With so many actors from the British Isles, you can guess that some European city is passing itself off for 19th century Baltimore.Horror writer Edgar Allan Poe (John Cusack) has returned to Baltimore, down on his heel, needing a drink and a newspaper editor willing to publish his work. His best writing days are behind and no one wants to know him, in fact most do not know who he is.Pretty soon a killer inspired by Poe's writings is slaughtering people. in all sorts of nasty ways. Smart Baltimore police Inspector Fields (Luke Evans) first suspects Poe but then enlists him for his help as he needs Poe's knowledge of his own works to find the killer. Time is running out as Poe's girlfriend has been kidnapped.The film is a police procedural mixed with campy horror. Cusack's take on Poe feels all wrong. However you go to applaud a film that takes the writer Poe and puts him in his own ridiculous horror tale.
The Raven is a narrative poem by American writer Edgar Allan Poe. It was first published in 1845 and adapted as a movie in 2012: it is a mystery, thriller film dealing with many murders committed by a mad man inspired by the author's stories.The atmosphere of the movie I dark, Gothic and scary and the main characters are John Cusack, poet's representation, Luke Evans, detective Fields, Alice Eve, Emily Hamilton and Sam Hazeldine, Ivan. Both the poem an the movie are intriguing because they perfectly reflect Po's mind according to his problems and his dark side. This is the reason why the film is not flawed. It structure is circular and furthermore there are other Edgar Allan Po poems mentioned in the movie like: The Cask of Amontillado, The Tell-Tale Heart and finally Annabelle Lee. His unconditional passionate love for Emily is the same that the poet shows in the poem Annabelle Lee. I really liked this movie and I highly recommend it. It would definitely appeal to those who enjoy dark, horror and mysterious stories.
A girl is buried alive and a man's body is cut into halves. These are just some things that happen in the crime drama The Raven, based on Edgar Allan Poe's poems.Last week we got to watch The Raven during class on a big screen which was very intriguing. The plot was about Edgar Allan Poe, who was portrayed by John Cusack. He got stuck in a crime drama where someone had become so inspired by his works that he murdered people the same way as in Poe's poems. Telltale Heart, Cask of Amontillado and Annabel Lee are just some of the Poems that appear in the movie.The director had adapted the movie in a way that catches the audience's interest. It was easy to follow the plot, though his poems can be hard to understand sometimes. The movie was flawed sometimes, I would have liked to see more details from the poems that the director had left out. Because of that, I will rate this movie a 6 out of 10.
