The Raven (1935)
"The raven is my talisman."
"Curious talisman. Bird of ill omen. A symbol of death."
"Death is my talisman, Mr. Chapman. The one indestructible force, the one certain thing in an uncertain universe - death."

Dread by the Decade: The Raven
👻 You can support or commission me on Ko-Fi! ❤️
Tumblr media
Year: 1935 Genre: Psychological Horror, Gothic Rating: UR (Recommended: PG-13) Country: USA Language: English Runtime: 1 hour 1 minute
Tumblr media
Director: Lew Landers Cinematographer: Charles Stumar Editor: Albert Akst Composer: Clifford Vaughan Writer: David Boehm Cast: Bela Lugosi, Irene Ware, Samuel S. Hinds, Boris Karloff, Lester Matthews, Inez Courtney, Ian Wolfe
Tumblr media
Plot: A doctor becomes violently obsessed with a young dancer after saving her life.
Review: Despite some issues with uneven tone and characterization, this film's solid performances and dynamic sets make it a fun, campy ride.
Overall Rating: 3/5
Tumblr media
Story: 3/5 - This standard tale of obsession is elevated some by the almost meta way in which the villain tries to steer it into gothic territory.
Performances: 3/5 - Ware, Hinds, and Karloff are all quite good and likable. Meanwhile, Lugosi fluctuates between maniacal and a bit too campy.
Cinematography: 3.5/5 - Not as stunning as some of its gothic contemporaries, but still engaging.
Tumblr media
Editing: 3.5/5 - A few memorable dissolves.
Music: 2.5/5
Effects: 3.5/5
Sets: 4/5 - Really fun sets, including a gothic torture chamber, shrinking space, and room that turns into an elevator.
Costumes, Hair, & Make-Up: 2.5/5 - Mostly standard but solid. Karloff's make-up, though, is a bit cheap.

Trigger Warnings:
Moderate but brief violence
Attempted torture
Ableism
Medical scenes

Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff in The Raven (Lew Landers, 1935)
Cast: Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, Lester Matthews, Irene Ware, Samuel S. Hinds, Spencer Charters, Inez Courtney, Ian Wolfe, Maidel Turner. Screenplay: David Boehm. Cinematography: Charles J. Stumar. Art direction: Albert S. D'Agostino. Film editing: Albert Akst. Music: Clifford Vaughan. 
The Criterion Channel includes The Raven in its collection of pre-Code horror movies, but in fact the movie started filming after the Production Code was introduced, and director Lew Landers had to negotiate over details in the script. The enforcers were nervous about "excess horror," and in particular wanted the film not to show any details of the operation that Dr. Vollin (Bela Lugosi) performs on Bateman's (Boris Karloff) face. Even so, censors took aim at what they called "horror for horror's sake," and The Raven was banned in several countries. The defense from Universal Studios that the movie was a tribute to Edgar Allan Poe impressed nobody. It's still a fairly creepy movie, largely because the filmmakers managed to include some torture devices from Poe's stories like "The Pit and the Pendulum." The poem "The Raven" mainly gives Dr. Vollin an excuse to explain to everyone that the bird is a symbol of death, but it also prompts a rather silly dance recital by the object of Vollin's obsession, Jean Thatcher (Irene Ware). Vollin is a neurosurgeon who saves Jean's life after she's injured in an automobile accident. She's engaged to another surgeon, Dr. Halden (Lester Matthews), and when her father, Judge Thatcher (Samuel S. Hinds), stymies Vollin's interest in Jean, Vollin takes his revenge. He has a collection of torture devices and an old house outfitted with gimmicks like a bedroom on an elevator and a secret room whose walls close in on people trapped in it. Karloff's Bateman is a bank robber who escaped from San Quentin and is on the run, so in the guise of giving him plastic surgery to change his identity, Vollin instead disfigures him, and then makes him play servant at a house party to which Halden, the Thatchers, and various other guests are invited. Madness ensues. The movie's chief virtue is brevity -- it runs 61 minutes -- so it never gets tedious even though it also never gets either scary or plausible.

A THOUSAND AND ONE (2023)
Starring Teyana Taylor, Josiah Cross, Aven Courtney, Aaron Kingsley Adetola, Will Catlett, Terri Abney, Delissa Reynolds, Amelia Workman, Adriane Lenox, Gavin Schlosser, Jolly Swag, Azza El, Alicia Pilgrim, Jennean Farmer, Kal-El White, Jamier Williams, Naya Desir-Johnson, Mychelle Dangerfield, John Aria Gutierrez, Artrece Johnson, Mark Gessner and Tara Pacheco.
Screenplay by A.V. Rockwell.
Directed by A.V. Rockwell.
Distributed by Focus Features. 116 minutes. Rated R.
There are lots of movies which have titles which give up very little in the way of hints of the plot. Even on that scale, the name of the gritty urban drama A Thousand and One is particularly inscrutable.
It is named… I believe… after the apartment number where a woman and her young child live in Harlem in the 1990s. Technically, the apartment number is 10-01 (tenth floor, apartment one). Still, it is mentioned a few times in passing that the dash has fallen off of the door. And that setting, while it is where much of the drama in their lives goes on, is not necessarily the cause or the even usually the central concern of these dramas. It is just a little sanctuary that eventually starts to fall apart and is being wrested away from them; much like many other things in their lives.
The woman mentioned above is Inez (Teyana Taylor), a hairdresser who spent five years in jail on Rikers and returns home to find Terry, the little boy she left behind (played at different ages by Josiah Cross, Aven Courtney and Aaron Kingsley Adetola). When she comes to believe that he is being battered in foster care, she kidnaps him from the hospital and they move to her home area of Harlem, where they live under assumed names.
Over the next ten-fifteen years, the family hides in plain sight. Inez gets married, to an imperfect but mostly good-hearted man named Lucky (William Catlett). Unlike Inez, who is uneducated and unrefined, but outgoing and aggressive, Terry grows up to be quiet, thoughtful, and extremely intelligent.
However, it turns out the Inez’ relationship with Terry is much more complex than even the audience is led to believe, in a way that can eventually tear apart this little nuclear family they have built.
Interestingly enough, never seen but often heard is a real bogeyman of New York life in the 1990s. Former mayor Rudy Giuliani is made into a stealth villain of this piece simply by periodically playing audio snippets of his news conferences and declarations in the background and showing how reality for New York minorities was nothing like what the ex-mayor claimed.
A Thousand and One is a devastating look at lives of quiet desperation and of people who got squeezed out of the modern gentrified New York. And yet, there is so much more that goes unsaid in the family which is even more cutting.
However, despite the outside forces leaning in on them, the relationship between Inez and Terry ebbs and flows due to their own personal choices, particularly a single decision that she made before he was old enough to understand what was happening.
The acting here is stellar. Teyana Taylor is heartbreaking in her cold determination as Inez, leading you to forget that the actress first popped into pop culture consciousness on MTV’s cheesy reality show My Super Sweet 16. All three boys who play Terry – particularly Cross as a teenager – keeps up with Taylor’s fireworks. Catlett also shades his performance as Lucky with much wisdom and regret and empathy.
The final plot twist is rather devastating, but it is not flashy nor unwarranted. It’s another of life’s complications that you never really saw coming.
A Thousand and One is a debut film for writer/director A.V. Rockwell, and the smart, assured way it is put together promises an impressive career to come.
