Audience Member Poe's works are adapted well enough but were not the choice of works I would have liked to see adapted to screen. The artistry was quite pleasant but the animation felt as lifeless as many of the subjects of Poe's stories. Yet another adaptation of 'The Tell-Tale Heart' was wildly unnecessary and should have been excluded from this anthology in lieu of a lesser-known or more interesting Poe tale. What was included was done well enough but much of what was depicted did not feel extraordinary in the slightest. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/07/24 Full Review Joe S Awesome animation with Poe's horror tales. The Pit and the Pendulum and The Masque of the Red Death are especially beautiful works of cartoon art. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/17/23 Full Review Dean W Top Notch. Different styles of animation and Bela Lugosi narrates the second one! Naysayers be damned Christopher Lee is amazing the art direction impeccable. Loses half a star for not being longer and the so-so connecting narrative bits. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review johann m An animated anthology of five stories adapted from Edgar Allan Poe ("The Fall of the House of Usher", "The Tell-Tale Heart", "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar", "The Pit and the Pendulum", and "The Masque of the Red Death"). With incredible narrators and different stunning and spellbinding styles of animation, it leaves us wishing for more. Poe's stories are heart-pounding and unique and even though some stories manage to capture his excellent writing, others fall short. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member As a fan of Edgar Allan Poe, this movie is my personal cup of tea. It has good animation and good voice actors (especially with Christopher Lee, Bela Lugosi and Guillermo del Toro who are my favorite celebrities) Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/02/18 Full Review Audience Member Was on cell for all of it bc didn't find it appealing. Wasn't the animation I was hoping for ie dark, grimy. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
