1.0 out of 5 stars Most terrible piece of garbage ever made!!!, July 31, 2007

This review is from: The Raven (DVD)

Being an Edgar Allen Poe fan I rented this trash because the title is Edgar Allen Poe's, The Raven. The movie starts with a girl, named Lenoore, killing her rapist by throwing a blow dryer in the tub with him. The rest of the movie is everyone who seems to be associated with the girl including her dentist being stalked and killed by this guy who has evidently resurrected for some unexplained reason. Sound like Edgar Allen Poe to you? Let's move on from the plot to everything else. Terrible acting, lighting, and sound. No entertainment value whatsoever. Not even so bad it's good or funny. Just bad. I rented it but wanted to burn it just in case some other poor sucker made the same mistake.

2.0 out of 5 stars "Quote the chicken, nevermore. No... Quote the buzzard, nev... Hmmm. Quote the cuckoo...never mind.", November 17, 2010

This review is from: The Raven (DVD)

How fitting for a woman named Lenore to have vivid, recurring dreams of Edgar Allan Poe reciting lines from a certain famous poem about a certain black bird. But what's all this hooey of forewarning Lenore of an evil bald man she'll have to kill in the future? She has no time for all that, what with being the lead singer of an all girl band whose music can be best described as "gothic pop". Of course, the serial killer slicing and dicing his way around town may make our wanna-be rock star change her tune. Yes. The killer (aptly named Skinner) is bald. The movie itself, not surprisingly, is bird crap. It's visually impressive, but way too surreal and dreamlike for my taste. The constant imagery is not unlike, say, a flashback scene on a CSI episode. Only instead of 2 or 3 minutes with this type of presentation, it's 80 minutes. Ulli Lommel, what happened to you? You're a far cry from films like The Boogeyman (1980), heck, even The Devonsville Terror. As always, with the exception of the '35 and '63 "adaptations", read the poem instead. 3.5/10

1.0 out of 5 stars WARNING - Not Even Close To Edgar Allen Poe, May 24, 2008

This review is from: The Raven (DVD)

Thinking that this might be a modern retelling of Edgar Allen Poe's classic tale "The Raven", and seeing two very positive reviews, I almost bought this DVD (For 1.99 used at Hollywood Video - not 23.99 new at Amazon).

Fortunately, I decided to also check the title on the Internet Movie Database where it had "User Rating: 1.4/10 (252 votes)." When Amazon shows "More Buying Choices 72 used & new from $0.63" under the "Add to Shopping Cart" button, I knew this DVD must be a real turkey.

Also, the product description has "DVD Release Date: February 6, 2007" but the two positive reviews were written on April 8, 2006 and January 3, 2007 so these reviews could not have been for this DVD.
