Film Filter: Off - The Raven

The Raven (R) 2012


John CusackAlice EveLuke Evans

Film Filter: On- A troubled, drunk Poe deals with the daily woes of forbidden romance and lackluster competition, until he is summoned by the Boston police regarding a murder.  It turns out that a crazy fanatic is taking Edgar Allen Poe's work and turning it into a grisly reality.  Detective Fields and Poe team up to try and locate the killer, but time is of the essence when it becomes personal.
Things to note: Dark cinematography, unique blend of fact and fiction, unrealistic scenarios regarding the killer, Cusack does Poe decently, gory death scenes

You'll like this film if you enjoy:
Premonition killings with gory details, like Final Destination, 
or period horror stories like The Woman in Black or From Hell
