Sad. Really not sure who thought anything in this was going to be a good idea. Even “Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter” looks a better film prospect than this (though, um, not by very much).

That’s a mighty weary trope to hand over to E.A. Poe. He deserved better.

Thanks, Ryan. Your reviews always spell out just what you see as right or wrong about a work with fine clarity.
