“The Raven” (** out of four) was a languid retelling of the classic Edgar Allen Poe horror story about a grieving man (Kristos Andrews) haunted by the death of his wife who has recurring visits from a raven and soon finds himself spiraling into madness and insanity as the line between the supernatural and the sane is blurred and he finds himself longing for death. Good production values and stark cinematography from Will Barratt fail to enliven or enrich this tired story. About on par with the 2012 John Cusack adaptation but neither are much to “rave” about.
