Review of The Raven (2012) by Louis S — 23 Apr 2018

The obligatory brutal and visually bloody murder happens quite early in the movie. After that there's only the race to safe a maidens life that remains, as we see the main character trying to keep up and getting frustrated of being forced to sift through details.

It's a very "safe" adaptation, could have been a lot more bloody and much more twisted.

Also it's rather sparse with lighting, I know they only had candlelight in that era and the atmosphere they created was fittingly gloomy and dimly lit, but I squinted quite often in a way that certainly did not "add to the experience".
