John Cusack as Edgar Allan Poe is immensely watchable, but the story is downgraded to a bog-standard thriller. Full Review
Exquisite Terror
Feb 28, 2019
Rating: C+ -- The Raven, however, is very serious, and the dissonance between its dramatic intentions, its events and its execution generates something of a mess. Full Review
Assignment X
Feb 1, 2019
Rating: 2/5 -- Audiences new to Edgar Allan Poe's work will comes away from McTeigue's trite thriller with little understanding of the man himself, the times he lived him, or his hugely influential canon. Full Review

Rating: 1/5 -- There's no reason to see The Raven. It's an unoriginal plot that you've seen a hundred times before. The performances are lackluster and the direction is uninspired. Full Review
The Maine Edge
Feb 21, 2019
Rating: 5/10 -- Edgar Allen Poe gets run through the grindhouse gears in the compellingly illogical The Raven. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- Basically a well-researched but formulaic mystery centered on one of those nyah-nyah serial killers we've seen a thousand times. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- The film is disappointing on two levels: it squandered a cool concept and it ended up a completely by-the-numbers thriller. Full Review

Product Description:

Upon discovering that a psychotic serial killer has been using his writings as inspiration, legendary author Edgar Allan Poe (John Cusack) joins forces with a bright, young Baltimore detective to catch the maniac and end his reign of terror. Detective Emmett Fields (Luke Evans) was investigating a vicious murder when he realized the crime scene bore a striking resemblance to a mystery story that was just published in the local newspaper. The author of that ominous tale was Edgar Allan Poe, a brilliant young writer whose status as a social outcast catches the attention of the diligent detective. Shortly after Poe is questioned by the authorities, detectives stumble upon yet another murder scene that seems to have been inspired by the author's morbid writings. Convinced that the killer will once again use Poe's writings as a springboard to murder, Detective Fields recruits the reclusive author to help piece together a pattern to the crimes and stop the madman before he can strike again. Brendan Gleeson and Alice Eve co-star in this tense period thriller from director James McTeigue (V FOR VENDETTA).
