Writer/director Gregori J. Martin was quoted saying: "For our film The Raven, we took the romance and tragedy from Poe’s classic poems ‘Annabelle Lee,’ ‘The Raven’ and ‘Lenore’ and expanded the universal themes of Poe’s works for a 2025 audience. I tried to capture the tone of each poem, while taking audiences through a story that explores the human condition in a way that is mystical yet relatable. I used a 1940’s WWII time period to tell my story, incorporating staple pieces of Poe’s world while adding elements I hope are engaging and impactful. In addition, the film noir style of The Raven, was inspired by the visuals of Stephen King classics I grew up watching."
This is a "gothic thriller" and adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's narrative poems The Raven and Annabel Lee.
