The Raven

Happy Halloween everyone! In the spirit of Halloween I thought I'd give my opinion on a horrifying movie I recently saw.



The Raven is a murder mystery movie set during Edgar Allan Poe's last days. A killer takes inspiration from his stories and starts murdering people as a means to make Poe write again. Poe quickly becomes involved in solving the murders, especially when his fiance is taken by the killer.

The premise doesn't sound that great but I quite enjoyed it. I usually don't enjoy remotely creepy movies so the fact that I liked one this downright horrifying surprised me.

It was really visually appealing and really good at getting the point across, the majority of the film was spent with me hiding under a pillow saying "don't look" over and over while boyfriend constantly commented in a way that made it so I may as well have been looking.

The story was also interesting and I found myself getting absorbed in the mystery of it. The murders were grotesque to say the least (example being one involving a pendulum) making it that much more horrifying.

The movie disgusted me, horrified me, intrigued me, and blew me away. Overall a great movie to get you into the scared Halloween mood. After all, whats Halloween without a little terror?
