Review by amandamunozdav

Always appreciate a good gothic story. The Pale Blue Eye with the breathtaking cinematography and outstanding performance of Harry Melling as a young Edgar Allan Poe turns into an enjoyable mystery triller with a shocking twist at the end. Christian Bale brings, as expected, another great performance to his career. While the narrative can turn a little repetitive and the story could have been more developed the atmosphere and ambience is enough to keep you entertained and glued to the screen. Props to Netflix for doing a proper adaptation of this 2003 novela by the mystery author Louis Bayard.
