    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Edgar promises to honor Landor by including him in a future story. Poe's final short story is entitled "Landor's Cottage."
    • Goofs
      The ceiling/floor/timbers on the lower level of the ice house would be constantly damp from the melting ice on the floor above. This is further evidenced by the constant sound of dripping water when Landor investigates earlier in the film. As such, it is not realistic that fire would spread as quickly as it did, if in fact at all, when the candles are knocked over during the climactic ritual.
    • Quotes

      Cadet Edgar Allan Poe: [walking through the snow-covered cemetery] To enjoy the Highlands in the full extent of their glory, it must seen immediately after the fall of the leaf.

      Lea Marquis: Why is that?

      Cadet Edgar Allan Poe: Vegetation does not improve, but rather obstructs God's originating design.

      Lea Marquis: A romantic... You do enjoy talking about God and death, don't you?

      Cadet Edgar Allan Poe: I do consider death to be one of poetry's most exalted themes.

    8/10
    An uncanny period piece that both thrills and keeps full enthralled attention.
    While many period pieces drag on and seem to be rather uneventful imo this product from Scott Cooper certainly delivers on holding my full attention throughout with ominous settings and suspenseful scenery. Bale is obviously a huge part of that as well with his dedicated ambition as usual for his roles. The story doesn't drag and violence is on display, something that I've seen held back on in most thriller period pieces maybe aside from Sleepy Hollow (1998). Dare I say the execution of the set pieces and costumes were much more convincing as well and gave the film more authenticity. Overall I was surprised with this film and its effectiveness.
