In this gritty thriller, Edgar Allan Poe (John Cusack, Being John Malkovich) joins forces with a young Baltimore detective (Luke Evans, Immortals) to hunt down a mad serial killer who's using Poe's own works as the basis in a string of brutal murders. Directed by James McTeigue (V for Vendetta, Ninja Assassin), the film also stars Alice Eve (Sex and the City 2), Brendan Gleeson (In Bruges) and Oliver Jackson-Cohen (Faster).

When a mother and daughter are found brutally murdered in 19th century Baltimore, Detective Emmett Fields (Luke Evans) makes a startling discovery: the crime resembles a fictional murder described in gory detail in the local newspaper--part of a collection of stories penned by struggling writer and social pariah Edgar Allan Poe. But even as Poe is questioned by police, another grisly murder occurs, also inspired by a popular Poe story.

Realizing a serial killer is on the loose using Poe's writings as the backdrop for his bloody rampage, Fields enlists the author's help in stopping the attacks. But when it appears someone close to Poe may become the murderer's next victim, the stakes become even higher and the inventor of the detective story calls on his own powers of deduction to try to solve the case before it's too late.

This is a fantastic horror thriller, a very dark and gory story about a serial killer following the patterns in stories written by Edgar Allan Poe in the last few days of his life, this to me is a very underrated movie and deserves more credit as it is very good, well directed and has a great cast and has some very bloody gory macabre scenes of death. The movie keeps you interested throughout and for a fictionalized movie was one of the best in a while, make sure you watch this you might be surprised, the bluray picture quality is very good and there are a few features too.

Adequately done period thriller dramatising a fictional version of the final days in the life of Edgar Allen Poe.

In Baltimore when a young Policeman (Luke Evans) realises a killer has been using Poe's stories to recreate murders in real life, he brings in Poe (John Cusack) to help him. As the murders continue, and the object of Poe's affection (Alice Eve) comes under threat the race is on to deduce the clues and stop the killings.

Coming across in the vein of 'From Hell', the 2001 Jack the Ripper tale 'The Raven' generally looks good, but the overall film is a bit so-so, despite a couple of gruesome moments. There's just something missing to elevate it above being an ordinary genre flick but it's not a total waste of time if your into this type of film. Otherwise, you might get less out of it.
