Poe’s Tales Come to Life in The Raven

Poes+Tales+Come+to+Life+in+The+Raven

We are used to reading and hearing about Edgar Allan Poe’s stories, but times have changed. Now, we get the chance to actually watch the stories in a way that they’ve never been presented in. The movie The Raven is not only a perfect thrill and goose bump inducer; it’s also a suspenseful and action-packed film.

The movie gives us a really interesting perspective; it shows you how times were back in the early days when Poe started writing his stories, and struggled during his life as a poor writer. The conflict that goes on through the entirety of the film is enough to keep you on the edge of your seat and keep your eyes glued to the screen. The movie gives Poe’s point of view on society back in the day, but it’s not only his opinion that is given. The cops, sheriffs and chief of police are all in a dangerous situation. There’s an admirer of Poe who decides to have a little fun by bringing some of Edgar Allan Poe’s stories to life. He commits several crimes that were influenced by the famous writer.

It’s all up to Poe and the chief of police to bring the villain’s plans to a final end. Edgar must not only help solve crimes to help others and himself, he must also save his beloved future wife that has been abducted by the villain, in an attempt to keep Edgar connected with the situation. He challenges Poe to a mental game, where only the strongest and most clever mind will survive.  The movie not only has exciting fight scenes, but also many gory scenes. I strongly advise you watch this with a parent if your under 18; but other than that, it’s a very intense movie, and a must see if you happen to be a Poe or poetry buff. I can proudly say the movie is on a scale from one to ten, I rate it a nine. If you have the time, I highly recommend this movie. Check your nearest theaters for movie showings and more info.
