If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Without exaggeration, this is the worst film I have ever seen. Excruciating dialogue, poorly fleshed out characters ( no pun intended) and murky visuals combined with poor sound.I realise this was a low budget movie, but so was Deadtime, and while that's no masterpiece, it stands head and shoulders above this.It really does resemble a 1980s direct to TV film.Please avoid this, there are many many other films out there that deserve you attention more than this.This seems to me like a cheap cynical exercise in cashing in on the Poe connection, when in reality, other than a tenuous connection to the main character, this offers nothing about Poe.

This is one of those movies where you find yourself wondering whether the financiers committed suicide upon seeing how much of a disaster the project turned out to be. Apart from the wooden acting, the continuity sucks, the premise is just stupid and unbelievable, and did I mention the acting is terrible. Its not often that I can't make it through at least half of a film - just in case it just got off to a bad start and improves in the second half. This film however, only held me for about 20 minutes and that was all I could take. So to sum up - this is the worst film I have ever seen on every measure you want to consider. Please don't even waste your time watching the trailer. The only possible use this film could have is as a replacement for water-boarding. You have been warned!

For a low budget horror indie this kept my attention. I wish they would have paid more attention to the sound and picture quality. A strong majority of the film seems to be amateurishly out of focus. And I had to watch several chapters over a couple times just to hear what was being said. The sound should have been worked in post. Some good character work from Fine, Savante and one or two others but after that the level of acting drops off significantly. The character names are stupendous. Sophie Tan. Mr Peeples. Mercedes Benz. The Chef's house was cool looking. I'm curious as to what the budget was. Anybody know where this was shot? In a year of Poe films this is sure to do fairly well.

I own about 3,000 movies, I have watched movies from the beginning of my time, and I am not a such a young person, so, it's so easy to define a terrible waste of time like "Poe". The acting is like watching cardboard character (s), often it seems like they have the script in front of their eyes and away from the camera, it is like they keep rehearsing instead of filming, if this is a low budget film, it does not justify the effort! If you'd like to give it a shot, have the lights on, look at the screen from time to time, then read a book or a magazine,walk to the kitchen and fix a sandwich, without pausing this movie, there's nothing to miss believe me! If you watch this you may ending up saying "Okidoki" and not in a good way! And I changed my vote from two stars to one star, just to emphasize how bad this movie is.
