" Watched June 24th - the giraffe's DVD collection - 1st Viewing "Such perfection of treachery fills me with admiration." - Dr. Scarabus The last of my Vincent Price horror movies is based on the most famous of Edgar Allen Poe's works - The Raven - unlike the other stories, this one is more of a comedy than a horror tale. It is about dueling wizards and how the raven fits in was pretty funny, although I have the feeling Poe was spinning in his grave - the cast is fabulous - Vincent Price, Pe"

"PC Alkusanoina on pelottavaa edes ajatella, miten iso vaikuttaja Roger Corman populaarikulttuurille onkaan ollut. The Ravenissa Corman ohjaa joukkoa menneitä ja tulevia maailmanluokan huipputähtiä Boris Karloffista Jack Nicholsoniin ja Vincent Pricesta Peter Lorreen. Lavasteet ja tehosteet ovat ihan kliffoja ja roskaraina muutenkin laadukas kahdessa päivässä kuvatuksi, mutta sisällön laatu laittaa ramaisemaan. Onneksi lopputaisteluna nähdäänkin sitten Price ja Karloff mättämässÃ"

"Katsottu: 13.2.2012 Cormanin elokuvaksi lavasteet ovat komeita, onneksi niitä taidettiin käyttää muutamassa muussakin ohjaajan elokuvassa. Jos jotain muuta elokuvasta pitää hakea, niin alku on aikamoista tyhjäkäyntiä. Kunnes lopussa tykitetään Karloffin ja Pricen välinen velhokamppailu, jossa kauhumestarit tekevät hienoja taikatemppuja. Kohtaus on niin intensiivinen, että sitä ihan unohtaa, kuinka huono elokuva tämä oikeasti on."

"Tagline: "The macabre masterpiece of terror!" Directed by: Roger Corman Released: January 25, 1963 Actors: Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, Boris Karloff, Jack Nicholson Genre: Horror Descriptors: Colour Length: 86 minutes First Line: "Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, / Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore." Last Line: "Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'""

“Well this movie is an interesting one. It's a dark humor horror movie and probably the most "Poe" one as Vincent Price recites a lot of the poem at the start and one line at the end. It's not one of my favourites, due to it being very slow at the start, but it's not bad overall. I find some of the other dark humor movies funnier too. The funny thing about watching this is seeing how bad Jack Nicholson is as an actor when he was very young. He sucked!

The premise of this movie is Dr. Erasmus Craven is forced to confront Dr. Scarabus after hearing he has taken his wife Lenore's soul. He comes to the castle, with his friends, and finds that Lenore never was dead but infact left him for Scarabus. Now it's a fight to the death!!! It's an interesting fight and some of the effects are l” read more
