Lost Raven

I love this film the cast the visuals the jokes the plot everything is just so chaotic it’s perfect. Movies are made to entertain and this one does just that and more. I’ve been watching this since before I could even speak it shaped who I am today. This is the type of movie that I hope lives on though the generations it’s like the light in a dark world a beautiful masterpiece that you can only understand after you’ve seen it. I would watch this everyday for the rest of my life if I could never stop just watching. So it’s really really really great y’all should watch.

I hated this movie. As someone who grew up watching the original Haunted Mansion movie I had high expectations and they were no where near met. The film was just one big psa on not offing yourself and if I’m being honest it fell flat if anything I went in happy about life and left feeling just about ready to fucking die. The haunts were lame the plot wasn’t interesting the characters were very forced most of them were just there so that our main character had a bed of other characters to carry him the grave yard basement made no sense. Eddie Murffy wasn’t in the film at all every time someone walked on screen who wasn’t him I died on the inside. For a film called the haunted mansion it took way too long for any ghosts to show up. If I could get back the two hours I lost to this film I would, I cry at night knowing that this piece of hot garbage took some of the little time I have on this planet.

I really enjoyed this show I’ve been a large fan of Poe stories since I first started lessons on them in middle school. The fall of the house of usher where the title was a bit misleading at first is one of the most interesting shows I’ve ever watched, it’s just one big love letter to the original Poe stories. The show itself has many aspects that will be sure to capture you once you’ve started you’re find yourself forced to see what happens next. Everywhere you look there’s references to a hand full of stories, the name of the company the characters the way they interact with the world around them you could spend hours just finding all the little details and never get bored. It’s not just the references but the visuals are stunning everything just screams, the visuals have this almost depressing feeling everything you see sends chills down your spine you know that death is everywhere yet the way it looks it’s almost like the set itself is crying out begging for its very lively hood to be spared. The ending lands where it may at times be on the nose and a bit rushed it sets up a beautiful last scene and ties everything in with the title in a breath taking way. The fall of the house of usher keeps in one of the most important parts of the original title the fear of loss of control death chill almost eating you whole. If you like Poe stories than I can promise you’ll not be disappointed with this show it’ll be in the back of your head haunting you and placing fears of what if tomorrow never comes in the best way possible.
