3.5 Stars - A Whole Heap of Fun
And my soul from out that shadow, that lies floating on the floor, shall be lifted, nevermore.
The Raven is a fun film where Edgar Allan Poe (John Cusack) solves a series of grisly murders inspired by his stories.
The plot is simple and effective, the characters memorable and enjoyable, especially Cusack as Poe, who gives the role a nice mix of dignity and despair.
Some of the scenes are very grisly in nature, especially the scene where the Killer re-enacts The Pit and The Pendulum and The Tell-Tale Heart stuff throughout.
This film is definitely worth seeing if you want a bit of simple fun with some nicely gruesome bits.
