The good news is this is a pretty decent movie, especially when you see from the trailing credits that this was a college/student effort.
The bad news is that the stories in this film have almost nothing whatsoever to do with the Poe tales, to the point I suspect Poe's name and titles were only included as a marketing gimmick.
For example, "The Fall of the House of Usher" is a good story, but outside the fact it happened in a house and the owners were named "Usher", there is nothing of the Poe story in the movie. Why they thought it worth the effort to name it after the Poe story, someone else will have to explain. I would have preferred they be honest, call the story something else, and dropped the Poe reference entirely.
"The Black Cat" is the only story that follows (mostly) the Poe version.
Is this worth watching? Yes, I think so. Just go in knowing that the Poe references are marketing, not information.
