The Raven With Billy Drago - Teaser

August 11, 2008

In this new adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven, Nicanor Loreti and Mariano Cattaneo have created an animated horror/suspense masterpiece that could only be narrated by Billy Drago (Masters of Horror: Imprint). As Drago has been around the genre for quite some time, both directors felt him a good choice since their version would focus on the terror that the narrator finds himself wrapped up in throughout the telling. Poe’s poems have always focused on the psychological aspects of horror, which in this tale revolves around the loss of the narrators love Lenore and the manifestation of his guilt as the raven.

Loreti and Cattaneo do add their own twist to this film, focusing on what really happened with Lenore. Perhaps she was murdered and still wants to come back? With ideas like these, it’s clear that their influences stretch far and wide, from German expressionist films, to great directors like Sam Raimi, George A. Romero, Tim Burton, Robert Rodriguez, John Carpenter, and Stephen King.
