This film is just a nonsensical backstory, presumably relating the inspiration for Poe's "Raven." Marginal cgi fx and a ridiculous plot with even more ridiculous dialogue, it makes a mockery of one of greatest and most profound literary works in the entire history of the English language!
It's a sophomoric attempt to create a "spooky" pseudo-biographical basis for the poem; as if the actual human experience behind the work were not sufficiently profound and disturbing! With a quality cast, the acting is pretty good, especially from Kate Dickie and David Hayman, and Melanie Zanetti is quite easy on the eyes. Otherwise this film is forgettable and best forgotten.
Read the actual "Raven" instead! It's a much more worthwhile use of your time!
