gargiuloalessia 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.

keremyukseloglu And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor; And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floorShall be lifted—nevermore!

rebelroy-83527 The "Pit and the Pendulum" scene was particularly gruesome. My favorite Poe story. I've also seen the movie versions; one with Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff, the one with Vincent Price and the one with Lance Henrickson. In all three, plus the actual story, the victim escapes or is rescued. This is the first version I've seen where the victim dies. That was actually a real device that was used by the Spanish Inquisition.

wangxiaoxiaotina The Raven is a unique mysterious horror film related to a poet Edgar Allan Poe, whose work inspired a serial killer. As a result of that, Poe was involved in and when the killer kidnapped Poe's girlfriend Emily, he and the detective Fields tried their best to find out the killer and stop more of his works to become fact.I like the dark mysterious 19th time setting, but I don't like the ending. It's overacting when Poe sitting on a park bench. And I don't know the reason that the killer wanted to kill Poe. I think if the director put more scenes on the killer, the movie would be more interesting and more reasonable.Poe's player did quite a good job if we ignore the last scene that Poe died of the poison. But I think it is the fault of the screenwriter but not him. I think Poe is a genius horror writer and I love the Tell-Tale Heart very much! I will give this movie a score of 7.
