Review of The Raven

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 lame, as with the music, but this one is for the kids I think anyway. I wouldn't recommend starting with this movie if your going to get into Price.
