Upon discovering that a psychotic serial killer has been using his writings as inspiration, legendary author Edgar Allan Poe (John Cusack) joins forces with a bright, young Baltimore detective to catch the maniac and end his reign of terror. Detective Emmett Fields (Luke Evans) was investigating a vicious murder when he realized the crime scene bore a striking resemblance to a mystery story that was just published in the local newspaper. The author of that ominous tale was Edgar Allan Poe, a brilliant young writer whose status as a social outcast catches the attention of the diligent detective. Shortly after Poe is questioned by the authorities, detectives stumble upon yet another murder scene that seems to have been inspired by the author's morbid writings. Convinced that the killer will once again use Poe's writings as a springboard to murder, Detective Fields recruits the reclusive author to help piece together a pattern to the crimes and stop the madman before he can strike again. Brendan Gleeson and Alice Eve co-star in this tense period thriller from director James McTeigue (V for Vendetta). ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

This is an awful movie. The sets were much too dark at times and the acting was weak and bouncing around all over the place. It was a complete waste of time of Edgar Allen Poes stories. I would not recommend this movie.

This movie was too implausible and superficial for me to sit through. For one thing, they should have casted a better actor for the Edgar Allan Poe role. I didn't think John Cusack was right for it. Another, they should have told a better story about Poe than this one.

The only thing that resembles Poe in this film is his name. An attractive looking production with good direction and editing but the story was contrived and downright ridiculous! If the story were more supernatural in the idea of what inspired Poe and how that inspiration drove him to such a sad end of his life -- as he dealt with the untimely death of his beloved young wife. As the film plays out frankly, it might as well have been any central character in the lead role not Poe. For Poe was a dignified Virginian gentleman not the booze swilling ill tempered quick to fight lout that John Cusack portrayed him as. The script is too cliche and predictable. My Grade: D+ Marc L.
