This movie is beyond awful! Plot, straight from Ulli Lommel's ripoff bookshelf. Oh, did I mention that the sound is awful? The casting is dreadful. There's one thing I've noticed about Lommel: he always uses someone else's ideas rather than his own. I guess he thinks it's all right if he uses real cases, right? Wrong.
Perhaps if he'd actually based his movie on Poe's work, it would have been worth seeing. Unfortunately, he didn't. The only thing he used is the name. A capitalist attempt to steal a good writer's words;and then he doesn't use what's available. This movie is worse than "Borderline Cult." The stabbing sounds were more like a dribbling basketball than a stabbing; the blood looked like watered down Kool-aid. "The Raven" is probably one of the worst movies ever made.
