Raven, The

A compelling, suspenseful, gruesome, well-acted remake of the 1963 thriller based on Edgar Allan Poe's classic poem in which a Baltimore detective (Luke Evans) and policemen (Oliver Jackson-Cohen, et al.) collaborate with famous, hard-drinking, broke writer Edgar Allan Poe (John Cusack) in October 1849 to solve a series of heinous murders in which the clever murderer kills his victims (John Warnaby, Matt Slack, Jasmina Ilic, ,Teodora Uveric, et al) by reenacting murders from Poe's stories, including The Pit and the Pendulum, The Masque of the Red Death, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Mystery of Marie Roget, and The Tell-Tale Heart, and the kidnapping of the gorgeous daughter (Alice Eve) of a wealthy businessman (Brendan Gleeson).
