A film about a young Edgar Allen Poe who finds strange things afoot in in spooky village of Ravens Hollow.
The film has 2 main themes, the first is the main story that concerns people being killed by having their hearts torn out by the 'Raven'. The second is preoccupied by touching on Poe's inspiration for his future as a writer. Beating hearts, tick. Ravens, tick. Etc. Etc.
Kate Dickie is wonderful and as terrifying as ever, the rest of the acting, not so much.
The movie starts well enough, creates a spooky atmosphere but cannot keep the tension going to the end.
I think with a little more money to spend on a competent director, better lighting and cast there would have been a decent film here. Shame.
