Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Rich Wright Someone makes a phone call: "Look, I appreciate Ulli Lommel has been making progress with his therapy, and has learnt how to use a knife and fork for the first time, but come on... Did you REALLY think he was ready to make a movie? I mean, it doesn't make one lick of sense, it repeats the same images over and over again, the murder scenes in it are the most laughable ever captured on film, and the music is all over the shop. Plus, was it a good idea to cast his fellow patients as actors in it?! Not to mention, as editor and make-up artist. Sorry, this will never do. We'll have to take him now and place him in a more secure wing, where he'll wear a straitjacket and be sedated 24 hours a day. Not as part of his treatment you understand, but to stop him making any more movies. Because this one sucked. It really, really sucked. Tell the boys we're moving him tonight. Goodbye."*CLICK* Line goes dead... 0/10

markbrown63 This film cost me £3 and it was £2.99 overpriced total joke , poor acting, visually sub standard watched 15 minutes of this garbage , don't waste your time on this Landfill! Edgar Allen Poe would commit this junk to eternal torture, in the pits of Hell!Would i recommend this disc, only as a bird scarer hung in a tree, the transformation from poem to the screen is laughable, in fact the guests who were present when i began to watch this film did just that , laughed.They then began to mock this Horror of a Film. It became in effect a comedy, the reborn scorched in the bathtub murderer at one point begins to enter a room through the front door , then miraculously appears behind the bathroom curtain to kill the guy who's left the room without seeing the front door opening behind his friend, to then be stabbed first , unbelievable!

Michael_Elliott Raven, The (2006) * 1/2 (out of 4) Ulli Lommel strikes back yet again with yet another direct to DVD feature. This time he rapes Poe but to what effect is something I'm not sure of. The film has something to do with Poe but also flashes to some serial killer, a strange little girl and another woman. What all these images are meant to do or say is beyond me. The opening sequence with Poe reading The Raven poem is actually very well shot and looks pretty damn good, which makes this segment the best thing Lommel has done since his 1980 classic the Boogey Man but everything else is pretty much stupid and makes no sense. There's quite a bit of nudity and blood but this here can't keep the film moving.

slvrngrn That... was... HORRIBLE! If I were wealthy, I would buy the rights to this movie just to stop it from ever being released again. The disk I rented is next to me as I type this and I want to destroy it. Do NOT waste your time or money on this movie. There may have been a plot, but the time line and cinematography were so disjointed and erratic that I just got increasingly more frustrated (to the point of true anger) trying to figure out what the heck was going on. I made it 34 minutes before I literally HAD to turn it off.When I'm done with this post I am going to write to Blockbuster and ask them to stop putting Ulli Lommel movies on the shelf. The fact that that man actually makes money off of these wretched pieces of excrement makes me want to puke. Ulli, if you read this, you should be ashamed of yourself. Making movies may be your passion, but you are not good at it. In fact, you suck about as much as you possibly can.
