First Trailer For The Raven Starring John Cusack

Over the course of his long writing career, Edgar Allan Poe wrote some pretty grisly stories. There was "The Pit and the Pendulum," in which a man is strapped to a table under a slowly-lowering swinging blade; "The Tell Tale Heart," which was about a murderer tortured by the sound of a beating organ; "The Murders In The Rue Morgue," in which is the tale of an orangutan who brutally killed two women; and many, many others. So what would happen if a murderer decided to start those ideas and bringing them to life? That's exactly the story behind James McTeigue's The Raven.
