tonight's feature: Raven's Hollow (2022) on Shudder
Raven's Hollow is some sort of attempt at a prequel to Edgar Allen Poe's 'The Raven.' The film had a lot of potential despite a wooden performance from William Moseley as the young Edgar Allen Poe. These are offset by great acting by Kate Dickie as Elizabet and David Hayman as Dr Garrett.
The story and pacing were pretty strong, the creep factor was decent, but the ending was a bit of a dud. Lots of callbacks to other Poe works that will make some fans very happy. Still a good and moody period piece, and not a bad Halloween season watch. 7 drops of opium out of 10.
