West Point, New York, 1830. When a cadet at the burgeoning military academy is found hanged with his heart cut out, the top brass summons former New York City constable Augustus Landor to investigate. While attempting to solve this grisly mystery, the reluctant detective engages the help of one of the cadets: a strange but brilliant young fellow by the name of Edgar Allan Poe.

A good film. Not a horror film at all, but certainly a mystery. I am not sure why the writer found it necessary to add a cadet named E. A. Poe into this story, and I kept wondering if there was something about the poet's life I am unaware of. If there is, I didn't get it. But the actors were all masterful in their roles.
They say that Edgar Poe never used "Allen" as his middle name, and that it was his hated uncle who posthumously wrote it in. If that's the case, it's really a disservice to him, to continue using "Allen".
