The Raven

omg...This is the absolute worst movie I have ever, ever, ever, ever, ever seen. The only thing I enjoyed about this movie was reading the other User Comments about it, while the movie was on. After about 15 minutes, I just had to come to this site to see what type of rating it had...the rating is far too high.

I spent a whole $7.00 (about $6.75 too much) on this unimaginably stupid movie. Now I have to donate $7.00 of stupidity to Goodwill or the Salvation Army.

Envision "shouting" with the proceeding:

Warning!!! Do not attempt to watch this atrocity!

Save yourselves! Learn from our mistake.

I love low budget horror films as much as anyone else but this is the 3rd Ulli Lommel film that I attempted to watch and found it just as bad as all his other films. I've seen student movies that looked like they had higher production values than any of Lommel's films. Everything in these movies: acting, writing, lighting, story, sound, etc. really could not be any worse than they are. To ask someone to pay to watch one of these movies is criminal. Do NOT waste your time watching anything by Ulli Lommel; every movie of his that I've seen is just as bad if not worse.

Other Ulli Lommel films I've tortured myself to watch: Diary of a Cannibal and Zombie Nation. Both of these films were pathetic to say the least.

I watched this thinking it would be good. Im a huge Edgar Allan Poe fan. I sat back thinking it would be great. Such potential. Then it started. That is where the trouble began. The first 5 minutes make absolutely no sense. It's here, there and everywhere. Once the story starts, it has so little to do with the poem by Poe that its irritating. It was also very, very obviously done with the lowest possible budget imaginable. If you like good movies, pass. If you like B movies, pass. This is worse than a B movie. They don't actually show you much of any of the killings. You get the joy of seeing only shadows and being left to guess just what happened. When they do show you the dead bodies, you see blood, but strangely no wounds. The one good thing I will say on this movie is that at least they had the good sense to put trailers for some good movies on this DVD. Do yourself the favor of skipping this terribly made movie. You will be very, very glad you did.

I wish i could give it a 0. I'm doing a project on Edgar Allan Poe so I though it might be a good idea to watch some movies relating to Poe so I went down to blockbuster to get this, and while waiting in line we read the description and we all knew it was going to be bad, but oh my god I couldn't imagine it would have been this terrible. The story doesn't even make any sense and there's all this random crap in it that doesn't have anything to do with anything. I've seen some bad movies (we actually try and find the shittiest looking movie we can find for fun) but this one easily has the lowest budget I've seen, it looks like they just used a regular video camera and couldn't afford real actors so they just had friends act in it. Afterwards my friend even said "God, I can't believe we didn't stop watching it" I even just made this account so I could comment on it.

The cover looked cool. We were tricked into renting this, thinking it would be a Poe related film. IT IS NOT. It is beyond bad, not even funny bad. It is a home movie made by goth dilettantes. Our intelligence was insulted and our precious time and money were wasted. Why was this high-school level goofy video shot with dad's handy-cam ever released into the public? I don't want to rent a video made by this director and his goth friends ever again. Who puts make-up artists in lead roles?...Please just release films done by people who know what they're doing, please. I can't waste my money on these things, why is Blockbuster putting them on the shelves???
