The Raven movie review




John Cusack and Luke Evans star in this blood-curdling tale of terror that's as dark and haunting as the legendary master of the macabre who inspired it - Edgar Allan Poe.

Baltimore, 1849. While investigating a horrific double murder, police detective Emmett Fields (Evans) makes a startling discovery: the killer's methods mirror the twisted writings of Edgar Allan Poe (Cusack). Suspecting Poe at first, Fields ultimately enlists his help to stop future attacks. But in this deadly game of cat and mouse, the stakes are raised with each gruesome slaying as the pair races to catch a madman before he brings every one of Poe's shocking stories to chilling life...and death.

MY REVIEW
 
I have not heard of this movie until just a few weeks ago but it sounded interesting so I decided to review it.

This murder mystery movie starts off a little slow but it starts to pick up further into the movie and it is actually not bad.Not the best movie I have seen and reviewed this year but it kept me watching.
 
 
*I viewed a screener of this movie for free for my honest review*

  1. Thanks for the review of The Raven, Chantale. I went online and rented it on Friday evening shortly before leaving my office at DISH. The movie was downloaded and ready to watch from my Hopper DVR before I even walked in my door. I thought it was a great movie. Cusack played the role of Poe very well, the story had me hooked through out the film, and the period setting was excellently captured. I would definitely recommend this movie, especially this time of year.
