Edgar and the Raven

About This Movie

Edgar and the Raven is this fascinating piece from '83, right? It's an experimental short that plays with the remnants of a larger project derived from Poe’s work. The tone is haunting, capturing that gothic atmosphere we all love. You can feel the weight of the unfinished narrative—there's something raw and genuinely eerie about it. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to the unsettling experience. Practical effects are quite striking, especially for its time, enhancing that sense of dread. Performances, though limited, carry a certain intensity that fits the material. It’s distinctive for its approach to Poe's themes, blending the macabre with an art-house flair. It's a curious watch for any collector interested in the obscure corners of horror cinema.
