Truly Dreadful Film

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

I fell asleep halfway through. Ditto on the second attempt, though I did manage to catch a few scenes and the TWO annoying endings.Jennifer annoyed me. By the end of the film, I didn't care what became of her.Ms. Dunaway was once a great actress, but her lifted/filled/injected face just can't communicate emotion anymore. Guess that's why she resorted to near-comical melodrama for this part.The ending (the second one) just made me wonder why the heck I bothered staying awake through (most) of the film.If someone made it through the entire film and wants to explain just what the heck I missed, I'd appreciate it, since I'm not up to giving this bore-fest another run.

Over a year trying to find my copy of chronicle of the raven, and now i finally got it. It is a great horror film i love it, the film is pretty original, not a remake or something unoriginal u will find in this Gothic gem. I love the story it was pretty interesting,original and creepy, the atmosphere is something to die for is one of the best things in this beautiful film, the acting was pretty good Gina Philips (jeepers creepers, ring around the Rossie) she did a great job her acting was very believable as always, Faye Dunaway (chinatown) she was fabulous and fantastic. And the other actors were so, so but they were decent. Thought that the film was a little slow at parts but that doesn't matter this film is one of the best Gothic horror i've seen recently. It is a hidden Gothic horror gem this film is worth watching, renting or buying. It is a big surprise the film is hard to found believe me but try to find it u will be impressed and u will not be disappointed, like i said it is a hidden Gothic gem. I gave it a 8/10

This movie was a littttle confusing at first. I usually like Gina Phillips, but this one I have to say was a bad choice just like her doing the movie Ring Around the Rosie, that one also not one her good movies. Jeepers Creepers was way better. Anyway, Faye Dunaway was good. She totally creeped me out and at the end, that was crazy. It was about Jennifer Cassi(Phillips) who comes to her twin sisters funeral. She stays at a house that her sister owns and her grandmother(Dunaway) lives at with an Aunt named Emma. Mary Ellen(Dunaway) is kinda sacrificing her relations to stay alive and as long as she wants to live, she can't die. Even if Jennifer tries to kill her, which she tries. Ravens have a weird part in it. When the relations go to sleep, the Ravens eat there organs, so they can't go to sleep. But they do. Basically it all crazy and Mary Ellen will never die and her relations will be buried, but not dead, b/c they have to suffer forever so Mary Ellen can stay alive. Yeah, I hope this helps. If it doesn't, sorry. Love ya.

Oh this was a really bad movie. The girl who plays Jennifer is OK, but I think she acts bitchy through the movie, not because she is having her organs ripped out by a raven at night, but because she is thinking of firing her agent for putting her in this piece of crap. Faye Dunaway acts like she is remaking Mommy Dearest and the ending is completely silly. I really can't recommend this movie at all even though as a fan of Edgar Allen Poe, I was intrigued a bit by the references to his work(Ravens, House of Usher-like family curse,and being buried alive)-still he would probably turn over in his grave if he knew about this film.
