At the end of the nineteenth century, many serial murders occurred based on the murder plots of many novels. The one who immediately suspected it was the novelist himself. After careful attention from the police and a lot of analysis by the novelist, he paid attention to the clues around him, and after several twists and turns, he finally traced the mysterious murderer who was hiding behind the scenes. The little assistant fans who are silent around. While uncovering the mystery, the novelist also surrendered his precious life for his beloved girlfriend who was kidnapped. Since then, people will always remember the immortal deeds of this legendary novelist.

The film combines the creations of Edgar Allan Poe, the famous American horror master and the originator of detective novels, together with the writers to form this film. Led by the thriller John Cusack, he interprets the thrill of detectives in the early part of the last century for everyone, although it is like a fleeting glimpse of water. And it is named after a poem by Edgar Allan Poe "The Crow". In fact, the whole plot does not do anything about the crow, it is entirely for admiration and admiration. Before watching the film, let brother mistakenly think that it was the reprint of the classic horror "The Crow" performed by Li Guohao, and he was still moved. It turned out that this crow was not the other crow.

It seems that the director wants to let the audience feel the writer's poetry and words in the process of investigating the suspense to recall the past literary and artistic era. If the Americans think that they can create another Sherlock Holmes, then the wishful thinking may be miscalculated. At least Sherlock Holmes is a mythical figure familiar to everyone since childhood, and even various case albums and imitation games are circulated by word of mouth. How can it be compared to the unknown and niche cases of Edgar Allan Poe, and it is also a difficult proposition for Edgar Allan Poe to die at the end of the film. Maybe many years later, it is also known that a prequel is suffocated. Judging from the tragic reviews today, the prequel may just be a YY of die-hard fans.

    Wearing Edgar Allan Poe's novels and expressing the editor's homage to Poe by the way is a good starting point. It's a pity that writing a story is just writing a story, and adding too many things in your heart is boring. Doing one thing well is enough. Some pictures have a good atmosphere. The plot is too weak to kill

The Raven quotes

  • Edgar Allan Poe: I often thought I could hear the sound of darkness as it stole across the horizon, rushing towards me. But here I was overwhelmed by a sorrow so poignant. Once she finally died I felt in all candour a great release, but it was soon supplanted by the return of that dark and morbid melancholy that has followed me like a black dog all my life...

  • Emily Hamilton: And neither the angels in heaven above/ Nor the demons down under the sea/ Can ever dissever my soul from the soul/ Of the beautiful Annabelle Lee.
