The Raven
Edgar Allan Poe races against time to help police catch a gruesome serial killer whose murders echo his darkest tales, risking his reputation and his very life as the line between fiction and reality blurs.
“The only one who can stop a serial killer is the man who inspired him.”
Synopsis
A fictionalized portrayal of the final days of Edgar Allan Poe's life, in which the poet investigates a serial killer whose crimes echo those depicted in his stories.

A crew of 61+ credited
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.1× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
