Edgar Allen Poe gets run through the grindhouse gears in the compellingly illogical The Raven.

Fanboys of the Universe
Rating: 2.5/4 --
It lingers intolerably on some inessential scenes, rushes through others, and fails to provide any motivation either for Poe's devoted (albeit fictional) love, or the film's archvillain.
Newark Star-Ledger
John Cusack as Edgar Allan Poe is immensely watchable, but the story is downgraded to a bog-standard thriller.

Exquisite Terror
Emboldened by an Oscar-worthy performance by John Cusack who, as Poe, is so powerful, so mesmerizing, that there is no trace of Cusack, we see and hear only Poe, The Raven is a masterpiece worthy of the master of macabre himself.

Behind The Lens
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.

Assignment X
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.

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).
