The Raven Ratings & Reviews
Deadspin
Tim Grierson
The problem is that "The Raven" is all surface. The movie is nothing but its fun idea, without much development or ingenuity
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
But on the whole, Ben Livingston and Hannah Shakespeare's never finds solid footing, and although the early murders are inventively intriguing, as the film goes on they slowly but surely lose their power to startle, amaze and perplex.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
The maniac on the loose i less Jack the Ripper than a literarily inclined nobody, and not even a butler, to boot.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
Basically a well-researched but formulaic mystery centered on one of those nyah-nyah serial killers we've seen a thousand times.
Movieline
Stephanie Zacharek
The whole thing has the feel of a second-rate living-history exhibit.
Film.com
Eric D. Snider
Never commits to the kind of full-bore lunacy that might have made the film a campy pleasure.
Denver Post
John Wenzel
The subject matter screams out for cleverness and depth, the sort of mind-bending twists and satisfying darkness that Poe himself would love. It finds them only in small doses.

Leonard Maltin
...the dark-hued film is so grisly and unpleasant that when the mystery is finally solved, the only satisfaction derives from knowing that it's over.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
Taking the two hours of your life that it would take to see The Raven and reading anything by the man who inspired it would be a smarter use of your time. And you'd be less likely to fall asleep.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
Until The Raven almost literally loses itself during a chase in the city sewers, it nicely balances its literary gamesmanship with a R-rated thriller's mandatory gross-out tableaux.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
It's neither grand nor grisly enough to seriously satisfy Poe-ish cravings for murder, mystery and literary allusions.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
It's good pulpy fun, with eye catching period trimmings, and Hungarian locations standing in ably for 19th century Maryland.
Washington Post
John DeFore
We immediately understand why Cusack is not known for playing men who lived before 1984.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
The story has its moments, and yet there is something about this tale of a serial killer's patterning his crimes on Poe's most gruesome works that doesn't completely satisfy.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Edgar Allan Poe invented the detective story, so turning him into the heroic sleuth of a mystery thriller makes perfect sense.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Mr. Cusack works himself into a lather trying to reconcile the contradictory parts of an incoherent character. In, I am sorry to say, an incoherent movie.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
A serial killer/Gothic drama/love story hybrid, it has some nicely mounted atmospheric scenes and strong acting from John Cusack as Edgar Allan Poe.
Slant Magazine
Jaime N. Christley
While full of welcome gore and blood spatter, it's bankrupt of any creative spark.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
A grimly preposterous serial-killer thriller set in 19th-century Baltimore, this riff on the final days of the author of "The Tell-Tale Heart" and other masterpieces of the macabre might qualify as literary desecration if it weren't so silly.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
This wannabe Sherlockian thriller is like a night spent at Madame Tussauds, watching mannequins strangle other mannequins.
