Synopsis
Not only does this atmospheric AIP horror comedy feature Boris Karloff, Vincent Price, and Peter Lorre, but it also stars a young Jack Nicholson. Add a funny script by Richard Matheson and deft direction by Roger Corman and this is unbeatable fun, a perfect Halloween film for the whole family. Price stars as Craven, a sensitive, nonpracticing 16th century wizard who begins the movie alone in his castle, lamenting for the lost Lenore, via the famed Edgar Allan Poe poem. Naturally, he´s soon visited by a raven, which in this case turns out to be a wine-swilling, obnoxious fellow magician, Bedlo (Lorre), who´s been enchanted by the evil sorcerer down the road, Dr. Scarabus (Karloff). When it´s revealed that Craven´s presumed dead wife, Lenore (Hazel Court), was seen at Scarabus´s castle, Craven heads over to investigate, along with Bedlo, Bedlo´s son (Nicholson), and Craven´s attractive daughter, Estelle (Olive Sturges). Once they arrive at Scarabus´s gloomy, cobweb covered abode, a wild night of horror and hilarity ensues, highlighted by a climactic wizard´s duel between Scarabus and Craven, replete with colourful special effects and great comic timing. Hardly a gloomy tale of woe as the title might suggest, The Raven is a hoot, with the chemistry of the leads providing maximum alchemical yield..
