The film takes place about 1831 near West Point. We first see a young lady walking through the woods and getting spooked. She eventually suffers some weird death involving birds flying out her mouth. We next see a group of 5 army cadets which includes one "Edgar Poe" so we know who doesn't die. They come across a man tied up as a scarecrow and sliced open in the front. The take him down and travel to a nearby town, "Raven's Hollow." The folks here are odd and are clearly hiding something. Poe (William Moseley) and Miss Charlotte (Melanie Zanetti) seem to take a shine to each other. They stay, but are warned by Usher (Oberon K. A. Adjepong) to leave. That night a cadet goes missing, although we know the Raven got him. Poe decides to stay, play detective, and solve the mystery instead of going for help like the rest of his group wants. The legend of the Raven is revealed and the body point continues.
This is a fictional version of the discharge of Edgar Allan Poe from West point in April of 1831. We see the background for several stories including the names Usher and Lenore. We see aspects of the "Tell-Tale Heart" and of course "The Raven." I am sure there was more. I thought the film was very clever.
Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.
