Poe's descendant writes of cannibalism...


Poe's bicentennial saw Michael Cuesta's Poe adaptation Tell-Tale in limited release, news of James McTeigue's The Raven, Sylvester Stallone's Poe biopic and The Ushers by Green Knight Ventures all announced...

Next up, Francis Xavier's Poe, which starts shooting in Los Angeles this January. The film stars Stelio Savante (as Johnathon Poe), David Fine, horror great Tony Todd, Sally Kirkland and Kristen DeLuca...

Check out some early artwork, a detailed synopsis and the official site below...

About the film: The film follows formerly acquitted and rehabilitated criminal Dr. Andrew Casey (David Fine), who relocates to Los Angeles under the alias Jack Conway, aka 'The Chef'. Conway and his butler, Mr. Peeples (Tony Todd), establish a respected soup kitchen/charity, 'The Help Feeding Foundation', which lures the likes of actresses and models under false pretense.

The women are in fact obtained to satisfy Casey's culinary tastes. Conway handpicks respected writer Jonathan Poe (Stelio Savante), descendant of famed writer Edgar Allan Poe, to immortalize him in the form of an autobiography. Poe is intrigued by Conway and his lucrative offer and agrees to the assignment. Once at the house, Poe is forced to witness all manner of horrors without the ability to either escape or help the women who have been captured.

Resigned to his fate, Poe takes up the task at hand and begins recording the autobiography of Casey and his cannibalistic spree...
