Eventually, they conclude that the blame should be shifted onto Usher as he was the one who had warned them about the Raven last night.

Garrett informs him that they will take responsibility for burying the previous dead man, but Poe cannot think clearly for his lost friend Thomas. Meanwhile, when Poe arrives at the church, Dr. To locate where Thomas has been lost, Poe and his companions try to reach him here and there but find no trace of him. The very next morning, the commotion begins to find Thomas. But at that moment, a bigger incident happens: Thomas is attacked by an evil spirit that pulls his body to the jungle and penetrates it by a big sharp nail. Even in the dark of night, Poe sees Charlotte outside her window, dressed in white. At nightfall, when Poe draws Charlotte’s face in his notebook in the room, it can be assumed that Edgar Poe is in love with her or is somehow attracted to her. Charlotte, meanwhile, has a conversation with Poe in which she wants to know about the murder, but Poe doesn’t want to reveal it. He eerily warns them that the Raven is not only a bird but an evil entity that will hunt them down soon if they do not leave by tonight. It was the girl we see dying in the first scene, whose name was Mary Keen.Īt night, on a walk, two of Poe’s companions, Lutz (Mathis Landwehr) and Thomas (Michael Guest), were warned by Usher.

Poe meets Garrett (David Hayman), a physician present with Elizabet, who is interested in the study of corpses, so he wants to help Poe, but the old man’s strange smile and gaze make him suspicious. She does not entertain incoming guests but is more interested in seeing them off. Meanwhile, Elizabet (Kate Dickie) is reluctant and scared from the beginning due to her reticent nature. Perhaps Edgar and his companions are also enamored, so at Charlotte’s invitation, they take refuge at an inn where she inscribes their names one by one in her register. In front of all, Charlotte (Melanie Zanetti) comes forward, with her beautiful face and cunning look, as if she can charm everyone. It seems that they are somehow avoiding both this person and his death. Elizabet and her daughter Charlotte, the leader of this gothic community, seem highly suspicious. He asks the community if they know about this person, to which they reply he is a stranger. The dead man’s last words suggest to Poe that the secret of his death is hidden somewhere in Raven’s Hollow. Poe is eager to investigate, despite the reluctance of his companions, so he takes the body to Raven’s Hollow, a desolate and ruined town where a small population is holding a ritual among themselves.
