Review – The Raven (2012)

My big curiosity about this picture was how they’d spin a short, grim poem into a two-hour-long movie. The answer, of course, is that they didn’t bother trying. The picture has little do to with “The Raven,” instead creating a highly fictionalized Poe helping the Baltimore PD track down a serial killer who steals his modi operandi from the author’s tales. This is a slick production; someone spent a lot of money on it and got a reasonably good return on his investment. Mildly amusing
