James McTeigue, who had been responsible for the direction of V for Vendetta, returns with another picture that is very intriguing for genre fans. This film mixes historical truth with fiction and fantasy.
This kind of treatment of historical figures seems to be evolving into quite a trend, with an upcoming film depicting Abraham Lincoln as a vampire hunter.
The Raven centres around Edgar Allan Poe, the writer whose influence is felt on the horror genre to this very day while countless films have been produced from his books.
At its core The Raven is a classical whodunit in the traditional sense.
