The Spectre of Edgar Allan Poe (1974)


Cinerama Releasing
Directed by mohy Quandour
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(VHS, Unicorn Video)

A young Poe is struggling in his job as a newspaper reviewer when his girlfriend appears to unexpectedly fall ill and die. However, during her burial she comes back to life. She is committed to an insane asylum run by an unethical doctor who experiments on the patients. Attempt to dramatize the early, influential events in Poe's life falls flat due to dark, murky photography and low budget.
