A film comprised of individual stories written and inspired by the gothic poet Edgar Allen Poe, this movie tells the various tales of such pieces as The Tell Tale Heart, The Pit and the Pendulum, and other tales. Each with its own creative animation. Each narrated by a well know actor. Actors such as the beloved Sir Christopher Lee and even an old recording of Bela Lugosi that is just haunting.
Lovers of Edgar Allan Poe would appreciate the artistic telling of the poets writing. Those who are lovers of animation will love the various styles that are used to accompany the tales being told. If you find yourself feeling like you need something that brings terror, but also feel like something that inspires, I highly recommend this movie. The only thing I wish they did was the story of the Raven. But you can't have everything. So here is the ending quoted....
'And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted, nevermore!'
