When a madman begins committing horrific murders inspired by Edgar Allen Poe's works, a young Baltimore detective joins forces with Poe to stop him from making his stories a reality.
Nice premise is watchable as a nicely produced period piece with a not too exciting, but breathlessly staged whodunnit; a straight Poe adaptation would have been preferable.
Maltin**: "Contrived mix of fact and fiction is fitfully intriguing but conspicuously lacking in suspense. Cusack's wild-eyed ranting is neatly balanced by Evans' authoritative underplaying."
