This film remains true to the thriller/murder mystery genre. I think it does a fair job of it. But what makes this film different is its descent into the life of Poe at the same time. It touches themes that Poe touched in his wonderful tales of romantic horror and makes a true Poe fan smile time after time. This film is unique and follows a simple story line to its logical conclusion in an entertaining fashion for those who love Poe.
The leads are good actors and "Ann" is lovely.
I think anyone that has poured over the bloody pages of Poe's short stories surely will be entertained on two levels by this far too easily dismissed attempt, an attempt to do something more than just entertain us with a mystery murder story. It is a tale of madness, of love, of confusion and killings.
