Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Basically a well-researched but formulaic mystery centered on one of those nyah-nyah serial killers we've seen a thousand times.

rotten:
It lingers intolerably on some inessential scenes, rushes through others, and fails to provide any motivation either for Poe's devoted (albeit fictional) love, or the film's archvillain.

rotten:
Never commits to the kind of full-bore lunacy that might have made the film a campy pleasure.

rotten:
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.

rotten:
Director James McTeigue has no feel for humor or terror, making what could have been a witty pastiche into another cheesy slice-and-dice horror flick.
