This movie is set in the mid 1800s and involves poet Edgar Allan Poe. A serial killer is on the loose and murdering people using Poe's descriptions from his published stories and poems.

Goofs
When Poe is punched in the face by Captain Hamilton, Poe slowly brings a handkerchief to his face. After a few seconds of screen time with Detective Fields and Captain Hamilton, Poe is once again shown raising the handkerchief to his face. It looked exactly as he had been doing it the first time (same motion as before, same blood position as before). See more »Soundtracks

Do not listen to the negative reviews because this movie is brilliant. I think the main problem is that people maybe went into this movie expecting a horror movie.
The portrayal of Poe is absolutely fantastic, John Cusack did a fantastic job he is a great actor and this one has to be my favourite role that he has played.
The movie has a great pace to it. Your at the edge of your seat the entire time, the thing is though if you haven't read any Edger Allan Poe stories you might have a hard time understanding it, but it doesn't matter weather you have read them or not because the movie is absolutely brilliant. It has its intense moments but honestly you can't take your eyes off the screen it keeps you guessing whats going to happen next.
Don't listen to the negative reviews, this movie is a must-see.
