The Raven (2012)
Directed by James
McTeigue this film stars John Cusack, Alice Eve and Luke Evans.
Author Edgar Allen Poe is drawn into a game of life and death with a
serial killer who is inspired by Poe's writing.
The plot for this film
is pretty similar to any number of other serial killer films just
using Poe and his writing as window dressing. When you have a rich
literary back ground to draw on as the inspiration for this film what
we end up with here is a little disappointing but not necessarily
bad. It is hard to find much to recommend this film on but equally
it's not the worst serial killer film you will see either.
3/5
