It is, in a word or two, everything that Poe's tales and poems were not: interminable and picayune. Read the review

The film, devising events that led up to his mysterious death in 1849, is also the most gruesomely literal-minded of period detective stories. Read the review

richard-corliss added a review of The Raven

Until The Raven almost literally loses itself during a chase in the city sewers, it nicely balances its literary gamesmanship with a R-rated thriller's mandatory gross-out tableaux. Read the review
