What the Critics say | ||
| Box Office Mark Olsen  Likely to disappoint both literary aficionados and action-thriller fans, the film neither captures the creepy atmospheres of Poe's influential writing nor works on its own | 5 |  |
| ScreenIt C. Fuchs Much ado about nothing. | 7 | |

| Rottentomatoes critics 104 critics | 9 | |
| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Thinly scripted, unevenly acted, and overall preposterous, The Raven disgraces the legacy of Edgar Allen Poe with a rote murder mystery that's more silly than scary. | 4 | |
