The Raven

Synopsis:

The macabre and lurid tales of Edgar Allan Poe are vividly brought to life - and death - in this stylish, gothic thriller starring John Cusack as the infamous author. When a madman begins committing horrific murders inspired by Poe's darkest works, a young Baltimore detective joins forces with Poe in a quest to get inside the killer's mind in order to stop him from making every one of Poe's brutal stories a blood chilling reality. A deadly game of cat and mouse ensues, which escalates when Poe's love becomes the next target. Intrepid Pictures' The Raven also stars Brendan Gleeson and Oliver Jackson-Cohen.

Ranging from mildly entertaining to a middling bore, The Raven has too many problems: Cusack is horribly miscast, the terror is too safe even for cable, the gore is poorly staged, the cinematography and art direction lacks gravitas. Too bad, I like Edgar Allan Poe.
