I don't know all too much about Edgar Allen Poe, and if you're looking for something to watch to find out more information on him, then this is not the movie. With that being said, the movie is still really good. It's a compelling mystery with twist and turns you won't see coming. I will say the resolution isn't really what you'd expect, but the rest of the film makes up for that in great acting, atmosphere, and story. If you're already a Poe fan definitely give this a watch, there might be something to be found. 8.5
