Genres & Description

Action Comedy Fantasy Horror

6.7 / 10

In this tongue-in-cheek movie inspired by Poe's poem, Dr. Craven is the son of a great sorcerer (now dead) who was once himself quite skilled at that profession, but has since abandoned it. One evening, a cowardly fool of a magician named Bedlo comes to Craven for help - the evil Scarabus has turned him into a raven and he needs someone to change him back. He also tells the reluctant wizard that Craven's long-lost wife Lenore, whom he loved greatly and thought dead, is living with the despised Scarabus.

I wonder who that young guy at 1:00-1:02 is? Jack Nicholson?! Never heard of him! He no doubt faded into obscurity. - @Monday, July 13, 2009 12:28 PM
