The Cover Is Worth The Price of This DVD.

It's amazing how poor, alcoholic, destitute Poe could write about Paris in 1889. The fog made it appear eerily like London. Perhaps he lived in Paris, the beautiful City of Love, before ending up as he did in Baltimore (America).

Young Val Kilmer played the understated Philippe who has fallen in love with Claire but tries to prove that her fiance is innocent of the murders. As he and her detective father discover who (or what) the murderer is, he uncovers the truth about Claire's fiance (also engaged to other wealthy women). Alas and alack.

George C. Scott does a commendable job as the French retired police detective who comes alive again. Sometimes, you might imagine that he is the one! The ending has a twist which is so Edgar Allen Poe, it surprises the viewer just the same. And I've been a fan of Poe's 'Ligeia' since 1960.

Rebecca DeMornay was perfect as Claire. The way the murderer is trapped makes you wonder if it could possibly be a cover up for the real one. With Poe, who knows?

Positively Scary

This movie gave me nightmares many nights after seeing it as a teenager. Yikes! I've never quite figured out why some people like to get scared out of their wits! Some things are so frightening, there is no pleasure to be found in the experience.

Scared the beejus out of me

I saw this when it aired back in 1986 I was 12 at the time, I was scared out of my mind! I had nightmares for years after watching this movie.
