Highly Entertaining Horror
Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven. The movie The Raven is not the poem on film but rather about a neurological surgeon, Dr. Vollin (Lugosi), who is a huge fan of Poe and is stark-raven-mad (pun intended). He falls in love with Jean Thatcher and looks at her as Poe's Lenore.
Karloff plays the criminal Edmond Bateman that wants to hide his looks by having Dr. Vollin (Lugosi) to make him look nice and different. He is forced to do Vollin's dirty work for him.
The movie falls into a kind of madness that is highly entertaining and worth watching for fans of horror, Poe, Lugosi and/or Karloff.
9/10
