I was really looking forward to this film, but the acting was so dreadful that it ruined the experience. It may have been a script problem, or a dialogue problem, or poor direction, but the movie does not succeed in its goal. The plot is very interesting from an historical point of view, but it is not fleshed out properly. The characters (including Poe) are just not convincing. The cinematography is appropriately gothic in style and is not one of the problems. It is unfortunate the film had these flaws, because it could have been much better without them. Any film about Poe automatically has a base a producer can work on. Maybe someone will do it better.
