I love the royal ambiance to this, it really matches how I imagined it! The only thing I would have changed though is the raven's voice, it's way deeper that I expected. :/
Thumps up for the amount of time and work invested on this....really good video...though, I have to agree with other comments about the raven's voice...it sounded a bit like a bad horror atraction effect (no disrespect intended), and it kind of broke the mood of the whole thing...still, great work, very good perfomance and great music that helped a lot the ambience of the moment. (Y)
The actor/narrator has certainly portrayed the heart broken lover to perfection. This is the best interpretation of the poem by far. If anyone else tries it...... well shall we just say that they have a lot to live up to.
@SuperLifestream oh my god, shutup, it's a free country and if he wants to copy someone he can! youur making him sound stupid, what about you? You looked bad at comments from a year ago..get a freakin LIFE!>:( lol and anway wow best raven interpretationn so dar i've seen, nice job guys :)!
@spsnakecake After leaving that long angry paragraph for some one you don't know and will never know you tell ME to get a life and stop worrying about people. Woahhh. You are either a 12 year old girl or some one with literal downs syndrome. Or a christfag.
For those asking what this poem is about. The Narrator is obsessed with the death of his love Lenore. The agony he feels in her loss has no ending. He asks the Raven is his pain will ever end. Is there any remedy for the sadness he feels...the only answer is Nevermore. He knows never shall he see her again. She will only haunt his memory and nothing more.
In the end death does not come for him...he sees it come for her soul...and leave him. And deaths shadow remains.
I wondered this too, but originaly when I 1st read the poem, I couldn't help feel the Raven was Angel Of Death and when the Angel of Death had revealed his true form at the end of this video, it kinda 'confirmed' my 1st impression :)
My one critique is of the Raven's voice -- it would have been far creepier had it been a distorted yet distinctly female voice -- the spectral ululation of Lost Lenore.
still a very great act i loved it you should make so much more really! did you act in this? even if you left out lots of lines its still a great rep of the poem. he was a wonderful man, mr.poe...
I'm speechless. Words can't express how phenomenal this was. If I had the money I'd pay you to do more of these and .... amazing talent. Stunning and fantastic....

thanks for the summary...but in the end i feel that the narrator is saying that his soul was lost/taken from him when lenore has died..would you say this is correct, considering your knowledge of literature?
This is an amazing video!! Where can I find a version with two parts together? I am an English teacher and showed this to my class and they absolutely loved it. This depicts the emotions and agony of the narrator like nothing else Ive seen or heard.
It would be great if a few stanzas were not omitted, but it doesn't detract from the over all quality of the film or poem.
amazing!!!!!!!by the way.....does anyone know the band nevermore?if you dont i suggest you to listen to their album "dreaming neon black"..........actually their name was inspired by that poem.................
Wow wow wow! What an outstanding vid for this poem. The actor, the setting, and the Raven (except his voice, they should have made it different) was perfect! Too bad they didn't recite the whole poem and the ending was a bit wrong but other then that it was a great vid...Edgar Allen Poe forevermore!
Nice! Too bad the whole poem isn't read, but the parts we do get are amazing. And creepy...especially the Raven's voice. Very nice! I love how we can see the narrator's utter despair, and how it turns into eventual madness. Best interpretation I've seen so far!
As much as people are going to criticize me for saying this, you could have done a lot better. The Raven is about how Isolation leads to madness, and while this is good, it didn't quite capture the true spirit of the Raven. The Raven isn't the devil who carries his soul to hell (or whatever the man in the cloak was at the end) it's just a figment of the insane mind of the narrator. Also, this needs to be included "And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon that is dreaming."
And we should remenber that Edgar Allan Poe had traces of schizophrenia, in other words he was a little bit "crazy". Do you think that this could have made some influence in his work?
Watch your tongue, you don't know who you're saying that to. The facts about Edgar Allan Poe's life are very skewed, no one knows for sure if he was really schizophrenic, all we know is where and when he was born, several facts about his adoption, him getting cut off for drinking and gambling his way through school, his time in the army, his many poems and stories, and his death. He had many enemies for being a harsh critic, they got their revenge by skewing his name.
lol. "Watch my tongue"? Who are you? Poe's mother? himself or what? Dude grow up, stop living in the moon and come down to Earth. This is a free country, I can say whatever I want about anyone. Specially about a poet. It's MY INTERPRETATION. That's what poems are, they need to be undertood, and once you do that, you also understand a small part of the poet's soul. If I think he was schizophrenic and also read it somewhere to support my opinion then so be it. Schizophrenia is a DISEASE!
I'm not Poe's mother, I'm schizophrenic too, but thanks a lot for pointing out that it's a disease, something I'm fully aware of. When I say watch your tongue I mean be aware of who you're talking to. And for your information, though I am schizophrenic, I am not insane. That's all.
Wow this movie is so aweseome! The acting is phenomenal and for the first time the character acts exactly how it is written in the story! I got somewhat confused at the ending but it was still amazing. Thanks for posting.
Gracias a todos, por los comentarios. Estoy con mi primera pelicula ya ke hacer una peli en este país, lleno de tiburones sin idea del género, es realmente difícil. Hay un previo de la peli un telecine a una luz sin tratar la peli todavía esta en producción. Si kereis ver algo se llama ASD Teaser no oficial.
vi muuuuchas veces este corto en su momento. lo tenía grabado del canal plus. me encanta. aunque la canción del final no va con el clasicismo a lo Hammer del resto. yo tampoco entiendo cómo Tinieblas Glez. no tiene alguna película si sabe hacer cosas tan buenas como esa.
I think in the end that was death seeping into her and taking her soul and him tell him that he would never see her alive again "nevermore".

Very awesome indeed, every thing went perfect almost the whole video, BUT!
the last "Nevermore" is meant to be said by the human, since he's the one now
describing about his soul, and by saying himself "Nevermore" let us know that
his soul has been somehow touched by the shadow of the raven who's only words were "Nevermore"

Meh, this version is all props and actors. They don't say the poem right (which is the entire point of putting it on screen).
It would have also been cooler if the raven actually croaked "Nevermore" in a raven's voice rather than that weird demonic voice.

I can't guarantee anything but:

2. Eat a large chunk of Cheddar Cheese.
3. Go to sleep quite late, as you should be tired enough to fall asleep quite quickly.
