I think I'm going to have to check this movie out. Although I generally loathe and despise book adaptations, I am intrigued by the comments here. I would imagine that it would be very loosely based on Poe's story, as Avenger said, if there is a girl in the equation. It seems a bit sacreligious though to make a Poe adaptation - I will have to wrestle with my conscious. :)

Very, very loosely based Heapodd. But good nonetheless. Just forget you are watching a Poe adaptation and you might enjoy it.
