"Edgar Allan Poe's Lighthouse Keeper" was anything but scary or unsettling in anyway, and it didn't really capture the essence and root of Poe's written words, which just goes to prove that there is a lot of depth and volume to written words.
EDGAR ALLAN POES LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER MOVIE
And it didn't really work out great for the movie, as the acting throughout the movie was rigid, wooden and just oozed with mediocrity.
Furthermore, the movie has a very small cast ensemble, so there was a lot of weight on the shoulders of the cast. The effects in "Edgar Allan Poe's Lighthouse Keeper" were definitely tinted by being low budget, and the shambling creatures that encroached on the people in the lighthouse were laughable to look at, especially since the effects and make-up were not nicely made. And when something actually did happen, it was just met with questionable effects and equally questionable acting. And I do believe that to be because of the slow paced story, and the fact that very little happened throughout the course of the entire movie. This wasn't a particular great transition from written format to visual format, and the movie wasn't overly entertaining, much less captivating or interesting. And while the movie certainly had a great atmosphere, it was just permeated by a production value that was less than mediocre. First of all, the movie seemed to accomplish way too much on too small a budget. The movie, however, turned out to fail miserably at living up to what I expected from it. And the cover/poster of the movie actually shows promise of something of good production. And the cover/poster of the movie also really looked great and that really lured me in. I was genuinely thrilled to watch "Edgar Allan Poe's Lighthouse Keeper", especially since Poe was such an influential figure in the horror literature.
