The Raven (2012)

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 Mystery This movie is the adaption the of the poem made by Edgar Allan Poe and they did a really good job. The mystery is every part of the movie. The work of the actors is good, in my point of view the work of John Cusack was amazing. The special effects for me it were not to good for me. I really like this movie but talking about Edgar Allan Poe this movie needed more blood and horror.

The film "The Raven" is adapted from Edgar Allen Poe's masterpiece poem "The Raven", and imagine the mysterious five days before his death. In real life, Edgar Allen Poe was an American writer, editor, and literary critic who is best known for his poetry and horror novels. In the movie, many of Poe's novels were combined to build a detective story. All of the murders were inspired by the plot of Poe's novels. The killer want kill Poe so he get Poe involved in these murder. The plot is very intriguing step by step. "The Raven" uses a unique perspective to portray the great writer and his literature. But, I think the plot about cause of Poe's death is flawed. He died because of poison in the movie, not because alcohol believed by some people. I guess this adaptation for the big screen makes the plot more logical. All in all, I like this movie. It's awesome. Because I love detective stories. I recommend this movie to detective lovers. But if you are not, the scenes will be a little bloody and violent for you. Also, I don't think it's suitable for kids under 14. Reading Poe's books is a good choice prior to the movie. "The Pit and Pendulum", "The Tell-Tale Heart" and "The Case of Amontillado" are in the movie. These are his most famous.

Everything is about the different mysterious stories that Edgar wrote in his life. Someone, who is the killer, kills people based on the stories like "Tell-Tale Heart" or "Anabely".Edgar, the sheriff, and the mayor are after the killer who is unknown until the end of the movie.The movie gets more interesting when Edgar's fiancé is caught by that mysterious man. Everybody feels desperate after many opportunities to catch him but miss him by not much.As a heroic man, Edgar gives his life to save the girl, who will be found later in the movie. Edgar's death is slow and he says the killer's name as his final word.That adaptation of the Poe's works is very intriguing and intense. The portrayal of Edgar is really impressive. The movie wasn't a flop but a masterpiece that I'd love to see on big screen.
