This is not a detective movie

I have to say, this is a movie that pays tribute to Edgar
Allan Poe, a writer of detective novels and a poet, "The Raven" is one of them. He is the originator of detective fiction and a master of horror fiction. The film reproduces the plots of Edgar Allan Poe's novels and famous lines from the poems, which is the essence of his many works.
But if you think this is a detective movie, you are wrong. For a detective movie, the big detective uses the clues and wisdom to finally find the murderer and reveal the motive for the murder, which is the necessary element. In the film, Lipo, as a "superior detective", witnessed with his own eyes that the murderer used the way he described to kill people, but he was helpless and could only be led by the nose of the murderer, only to be able to recognize which clues the murderer deliberately left came from himself. A work, and finally let the murderer succeed in taking poison. . . And the murderer's motive for killing was not fully explained.
But the film is worth mentioning in terms of the shooting technique. The light in the whole film is dark, and the atmosphere in the medieval horror novel is very well presented. Although the murder scene reproduced in the film is a bit bloody, it is not Adhering to the aesthetics of death and horror advocated by Edgar Allan Poe, including the design of the first poster.
In addition, the ending of the film is a bit superfluous, a good ending does not necessarily have to have a happy ending
